Installing the CD-RW Drive
Installing the CD-RW Drive
Note:
TEAC recommends that you connect the CD-RW to the secondary IDE port.
Do not connect the drive in a “daisy-chain” to the hard disk drive.
1. Turn off the power to the computer system and any external devices
connected to it.
2. Touch the exposed metal frame of the computer to ground yourself.
This will prevent damage to the computer and the CD-RW drive that may be
caused by a discharge of static electricity.
3. Remove your computer’s cover, faceplate, or 5.25-inch bay cover, as well
as mounting clips, screws, and retaining brackets.
Note:
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive—or if you do not have an IDE CDROM/DVD drive—installed in your system, please continue with Step 4. If you
have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed in your system, please skip step 4 and
continue with Step 5.
4. If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive installed in your system, or if you do
not
have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed in your system, do the
following:
4a)
Confirm that the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive is
configured to its default setting of Master.
4b)
Slide the CD-RW drive into an empty 5.25" drive bay. Install the CD-RW
drive in your computer in a horizontal or vertical orientation (within ±5˚
of horizontal or vertical). The Eject button should be located on the right
side of the unit. Secure the drive using the included 3x5mm mounting
screws.
Warning:
Do not use mounting screws longer than the included 3x5mm
screws to secure the CD-RW drive or you may damage the unit.

4c)
Locate the secondary IDE connector on your system’s motherboard and
connect one end of the IDE interface cable provided with your TEAC kit.
Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the
secondary IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on an interface
cable is usually designated by a colored strip along one edge of the cable.
The interface ribbon cable connector may feature a tab on one side. Insert
the cable so that the tab aligns with the notch on the interface connector.
Do not use excessive force while trying to insert the cable into position).
4d)
Connect the opposite end of the interface ribbon cable to the interface
connector on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive.

Installing the CD-RW Drive
4e) Connect one end of the included analog audio cable to the analog audio
connector on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive and connect the opposite
end to your sound card. (Skip Step 5 and continue with Step 6.)
5. If you have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed on your system, do
the following:
Typically, your IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive is connected to the secondary IDE
motherboard connector as a Master. In such cases, it is strongly
recommended that you connect the CD-RW drive as a Slave drive to the same
cable that currently hosts your CD-ROM/DVD drive.
5a) Set the jumper on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive to Slave.
Note: If your original drive is configured as CSEL, configure the TEAC
drive as CSEL also. System software will configure the drives accordingly.
5b) Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the
CD-RW drive in your personal computer in a horizontal or vertical
orientation (within ±5˚ of horizontal or vertical). The Eject button should
be located on the right side of the unit. Secure the drive using the included
3x5mm mounting screws.
Warning: Do not use mounting screws longer than the included
3x5mm screws to secure the CD-RW drive or you may damage the
unit.
5c) Connect the CD-RW to the vacant middle connector on your existing CD-
ROM/DVD interface cable.
If your original cable does not have an available middle connector,
remove this cable and use the cable provided with the TEAC drive.
5d) Your CD-ROM/DVD drive probably uses an audio cable that is
connected to the computer’s sound card. Therefore, there is no need to
connect the audio cable that came with your CD-RW drive. This audio
cable is not necessary for recording audio CDs.
6. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the rear panel of the
CD-RW drive.
Insert the power cable plug in the correct orientation into the power
connector. The plug is shaped so that it can be easily inserted in only one
orientation; do not force the plug into the connector. The +5v terminal is on
the left as you face the rear of the panel; the +12v terminal is on the right. The
two center terminals are ground terminals.
7. Re-install your computer’s cover, faceplate, or bay cover.
8. Start your system.

High Speed Recording Guidelines
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
Windows NT 4.0 requires you to edit the Registry in order to enable the DMA
setting. It is recommended that you follow the instructions from the Microsoft
KnowledgeBase. You can access article number Q158873: How to Enable IDE
DMA Bus-Mastering Using SP2 Atapi.sys at www.microsoft.com. Enter article
number “Q158873” in the search field.
Caution: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly will cause serious problems that
will require you to reinstall Windows NT. Be very careful and always back up
your files before you make any changes.
It is also recommended that you install the latest Service Pack to ensure you have
the latest updates in your system. For information, see article number Q152734:
How to obtain the latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack at www.microsoft.com.
Enter article number “Q152734” in the search field.
Notes:
❑ The IDE CD-RW drive is a true Plug-N-Play device; therefore, it will be
detected automatically by Windows 98SE/Me/2000-Professional/XP. There
is no need to install any drivers.
❑ Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Users:
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Plug-N-Play feature. Therefore, confirm that the IDE CD-ROM DRIVE ATAPI version 1.2 driver is installed. If
not, open the Control Panel, double click “SCSI Adapters,” click the “Drivers” tab, then click the “Add” button. At the “Select a SCSI Adapter
Option” window, select “IDE CD-ROM DRIVE (ATAPI Ver 1.2).” Click
“Install” and follow the instructions on screen.
❑ The drive is recognized by the operating system as a typical CD-ROM
drive. Once you confirm that you can read (play) data discs from the CDRW drive, install the Roxio software to enable recording to CD-R and CDRW discs. (For more information, see Chapter 3, beginning on page 15.)

Connecting to Audio Equipment
Connecting to Audio Equipment
The CD-RW Drive outputs line-level audio signals from the headphone jack on
the front panel. You can connect headphones or external powered speakers here.
The headphone jack accepts a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug. For external powered
speakers, connect a stereo adapter to split the output into separate leads for the left
and right channels. Such adapters convert a male stereo mini-jack to two female
phono jacks.
Alternatively, if you are using a sound card in your PC, you can connect external
powered speakers to the audio connectors on the rear panel of the PC.
Note: If you connect external powered speakers to the sound card (on the rear
panel of the PC), monitoring sound via headphones connected to the headphone
jack on the front panel will be disabled. In this case, connect the headphones to
the speaker.
