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

If the eject button fails, you can

turn off the

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.

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.)

system. The following section will guide you through most typical system
configurations.

Installing the CD-RW Drive

Installing the CD-RW Drive

This section explains how to install the TEAC CD-RW Drive into an IBM PC or
compatible personal computer. Follow the steps below and refer to your computer
documentation for information specific to your system.

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 or 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 no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive
installed in your system, continue with Step 4. If you have an IDE CD-ROM/
DVD drive installed in your system, skip step 4 and continue with Step 5.

4. If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive or no IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive
installed on 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 the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the CD­RW drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation (within ±10˚
of horizontal). The eject button should be located on the right side of the
unit. Secure the drive using 3x5mm mounting screws.

Warning:

Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm 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.

Be certain to connect Pin-1 of the interface cable to Pin-1 on the secondary
IDE connector on the motherboard. (Pin-1 on interface cable is usually
designated by a color strip along one edge of the cable. Also, 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).

4e)

Connect one end of an analog audio cable to the analog audio connector on

tab

the rear panel of the CD-RW drive and connect the opposite end to your
sound card.

(Go to 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.

5b)

Slide the CD-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the CD­RW drive in your personal computer in a horizontal orientation (within ±10˚
of horizontal). The eject button should be located on the right side of the
unit. Secure the drive using 3x5mm mounting screws.

Warning:

Do not use mounting screws longer than 3x5mm to secure the

CD-RW drive or you may damage the unit.

5c)

Connect the CD-RW to the vacant middle connector on your CD-ROM/

DVD interface cable. (If your original cable does not have an available
middle connector, you will need to acquire and install a standard IDE cable
with three connectors.)

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 an
audio cable to your CD-RW drive. An 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.

Recommended Software

7. Re-install your computer’s cover, faceplate, or bay cover.

8. Start your system.

Notes:

• The IDE CD-RW drive is a true Plug-N-Play device; therefore, it will be
detected automatically by Windows 95/98/Me/2000-Professional. There is no
need to install any drivers.

• Windows NT 4.0 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 CD-RW drive,
install the premastering software to enable recording to CD-R and CD-RW
discs.

• The premastering software is to be purchased separately.

Recommended Software

Before you can record data onto CD-R or CD-RW discs using your TEAC CD-RW
Drive, you must first install pre-mastering or packet-writing software onto your
computer’s hard disk. TEAC recommends the following applications for Windows
95/98/Me/2000-Professional and NT:

❑

Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Version 4.02d or higher:

A full-featured
premastering software application that enables you to create audio CDs and data
CDs.

❑

Adaptec DirectCD, Version 3.01d or higher:

A “drag & drop” software
application that allows you to read and write to your CD-RW as if it were a
standard floppy or removable hard drive. It also provides the tools necessary to
format the media.

Note:

The above mentioned software packages are part of the Easy CD Creator
Deluxe Software Suite from Adaptec. Please ensure the appropriate version is
purchased.

For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanies the software.
