Recommended System Requirements

Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a TEAC CD-RW drive kit.

The TEAC CD-RW drive can write to CD-R discs at speeds of 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X, 20X, 24X, 32X, 40X, 48X or 52X maximum, and rewrite to CD-RW discs at speeds of 2X, 4X, 8X, 10X, 12X, 16X or 24X maximum.

The drive can read data from CD-ROM discs and extract digital audio from discs at a maximum of 52X speed.

CD-R discs enable you to create audio or data discs for permanent archival storage. They cannot be overwritten.

You can, however, overwrite CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs—typically up to 1,000 times.

The TEAC CD-RW Drive is designed for use in IBM PC compatible computers. It features a 5.25-inch standard chassis and a powered tray for convenient disc loading.

Recommended System Requirements

IBM PC-compatible computer, Pentium II 300MHz or higher

CD-ROM drive with DAE support for disc-to-disc audio recording

One available 5.25-inch drive bay

64MB of RAM

A hard drive that meets or exceeds the following minimum specifications:

1GB hard disk space (or more) for CD-Image creation

1.2MB/second data transfer rate (or faster)

12ms average access time (or less)

Sufficient hard disk space for software installation (approx. 70MB)

Windows 98SE/Me/2000-Professional/XP Home Edition/XP Professional or NT 4.0 Workstation

Note: The CD Recording software included in this package will work on systems on which Windows 2000-Professional has been fully installed. It will not work on systems on which Windows 2000 has been installed by upgrading earlier versions of Windows (i.e., Windows 98SE). This software will not work with Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter Server, or Windows NT 4.0 Server.

disc tray: Use the disc tray to load CDs into the drive. You can open the tray by pressing the Eject button or by using the emergency eject mechanism. You can close the tray by pressing the Eject button.

Note: We strongly recommend that you do not push the tray in to close it. Please press the Eject button to eject or retract the tray.

headphone jack: You can connect headphones or external speakers to this jack to listen to an audio CD being played on your TEAC drive. Use a 3.5mm stereo mini-plug. For external speakers, connect a stereo adapter to split the output into separate cables for the left and right channels. Such adapters convert a male stereo mini-jack to two female phono jacks.

volume control: Use the volume control to adjust the volume. Turn the control to the right to increase the volume, or to the left to decrease. (Lower the volume before you start a CD-ROM audio program to protect your hearing and the audio speakers.)

emergency eject mechanism: If the eject button fails, you can turn off the power to the CD-RW drive and insert a small, thin rod (such as a straightened paper clip) into the emergency eject mechanism opening and press firmly to eject the disc.

Caution: Do not attempt to use the emergency eject mechanism when either the Power or Busy indicator is lit or you may seriously damage the disc or the CD-RW Drive.

LED indicators: The drive features two LED indicator lights on the front panel. Various operations are indicated as per the following table:

Operation	Right LED	Left LED
At tray loading	green LED flashes	off
At tray eject	green LED flashes	off
During write/erase	off	green LED flashes
During audio play	green LED flashes	off
During seek/data transfer	green LED lights	off

Note: The right LED continues to flash as Windows continuously checks for a disc inside the CD-RW drive. This flashing is part of normal operation.

eject button: Press this button to open or close the disc tray. (Some CD-ROM titles disable the manual eject button and rely on software commands to eject the disc. Refer to the documentation for these titles for more information.)
