regulations „title 21, CFR, chapter1, subchapter J . based on the radia-

ENGLISH

tion Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968", and is classified as a
class 1 laser product. There is no hazardous invisible laser radiation
during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted inside of this
product is completely confined in the protective housings.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation expo­sure.

Important:

If the protective hausing of the device listed above is opened without
the consideration of the appropriate processing, serious injuries may
result caused by the effect of the laser beam.

2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Your TEAC CD-RW dr ive supports all major operating systems (with
the exception of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x) and all major hardware
platforms. To get the full performance it is recommended to use a sys­tem environment whichs computing power is equiv alent to an IBM com­patible PC with a P entium II CPU with 300MHz clock frequency or more,
64MByte RAM or more and a fixed disk with an access time of 12ms or
less.

Important:

1. To use the TEAC CD-RW drive, an IDE (ATAPI) controller is
required. The necessary drivers are shipped with the corre­sponding controller card or they are available from the manu­facturer of the controller.

2. Please do not install your TEAC CD-RW drive near sources of
radiating heat like hard disks.

Selecting the CD-R/CD-RW media for your TEAC CD-RW drive

The best results and the highest performance are ensured by using
TEAC CD-R/CD-RW media. Your dealer will tell you the sources of the
respective CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Do not operate your TEAC CD-RW drive under operating conditions
other than listed in 8. Specifications . If you believ e y our TEAC CD-RW
drive to be defective please contact your dealer or any of the TEAC
facilities.

Important Hints for Using the CD-RW Drive

What is stated in the specification must be observed for the user to get
the most out of the drive. Especially, the following precautions must be
observed for quality of recording.

OPERATION

• high rates of moisture

• temperatures above the specified maximum

• large temperature differences

• large amounts of dust and dirt

• vibrations and

• direct exposure to sun light.

(a) Be careful about the use of the disk. What is stated by the disk

manufacturer must be observed for the usage.

(b) Don't let the disk and the tray become dirty.

– Check to see that the disk is bereft of scratch, dust, fingerprint

or any other dirt.

– Check to see that the disk tray is clean. If the disk tr ay becomes

dirty , clean it.

– If the disk becomes dirty, clean it as recommended by the disk

manufacturer . The disk surf ace is apt to be damaged, so it must
be cleaned only as per instruction.

34

3. Precautions for Installation and Operation

(c) Avoid vibration or impact.

During recording or playing, don't subject the drive to vibration or
impact. Vibration or impact especially during recording can result
in poor recording. The following problems also can result occa­sionally :
– The disk becomes defective because of faulty recording, and

cannot be played bac k.

– Additional recording cannot be made because of faulty previ-

ous recording.

(d) Data protection

Recording may not be completed normally in some cases due to a
malfunction of the drive, a defective medium, etc. Therefore, use
the following precautions .
– Be sure to confirm the recording status by playing back the

newly recorded data after completing the recording operation.

– Be sure to store the source file from which the data is recorded

until the recording is confirmed.

– Do not repair the drive or replace a part of the drive under cir-

cumstances other than designated assurance conditions.

e) Buffer underrun prevention

The drive has a function to prevent a buffer underrun.

ENGLISH

Cleaning and maintenance of your TEAC CD-RW drive

TEAC CD-RW drive will not need maintenance if used as specified in
this manual. Usually there are only problems with dirty or defective
CDs.

Important:

Do not use cleaning CDs which will remove dirt of the
lense of the laser aided by a little brush. Do not clean
the inner parts of your TEAC CD-RW drive with com­pressed air. Any of these methods may cause damage
to your TEAC CD-RW drive.

7. INSTALLING DRIVERS AND THE WRITER SOFTWARE

As a general precaution the installation of the hardware has to be car­ried out as described before. The software installation starts with acti­vating the reading functionality of the drive as this is well known with
any conventional CD-ROM drive. If the reading functionality is avail­able the next installation step is to achie ve the writing functionality pro­vided of the writer software. More details according the installation of
your writer software you will find in its documention [Help].

7.1 Installing Drivers with Windows 95/98/ME/2000

According to the Plug-and-Play conventions the CD-RW drive is rec­ognized as a standard CD-ROM drive first. To make this possible the
drives hardware installation must hav e been carried out correctly . After
switching on your computer, Windows 95/98/ME/2000 will install the
necessary driver automatically .

Caution:

Do not install any additional drivers with Windows 95/98/ME/2000.

ENGLISH

7.2 Installing Drivers with Windows NT 4.0 and OS/2

After installing the hardware, the reading functionality of the CD-RW
drive is activated with installing the drivers shipped with the correspond­ing operating system. The drivers may be configured and activated
aided by the system control. Please ref er to the manual of y our operat­ing system for any details .

7.3 Compatibility or Interoperability to Other IDE

If there are any problems if other drives are connected to the same IDE
port (especially IDE-Changer, Phase Change Drive, IOMEGA, and oth­ers), the CD-W524E has to be connected as master as a single drive.

ENGLISH

8. TECHNICAL SUPPOR T
