Introduction

The TEAC CD-RW Drive can write to CD-R discs at a maximum of 8X speed, re­write to CD-RW discs at 8X speed, and read CD-ROM discs at 32X speed. (It is also
capable of operating at slower speeds, if preferred.) CD-R discs enable you to create
audio or data discs for permanent archival storage. They cannot be overwritten. You
can overwrite CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs, typically up to 1,000 times.

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

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 3.5 mm 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
right to increase the volume, left to decrease. (Lower the volume before you start
a CD-ROM audio program to protect your hearing and the audio speakers.)

LED indicators:

The drive features two LED indicator lights on the front panel.

Various operations are indicated as per the following table:

Operation

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

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.

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.)
