Configuring the DVD-R/-RW Drive

Chapter 2. Configuring and Installing the DVD-R/-RW
Drive
This chapter explains how to configure and install the TEAC DVD-R/-RW drive in your computer.
Configuring the DVD-R/-RW Drive
The DVD-R/-RW drive features five pairs of jumper pins on the rear panel. By placing the jumper on the appropriate pair of pins, you can set the drive to Master, Slave, or CSEL mode (see Figures 4 and 5).
Note: The two pairs of jumper pins on
the left are reserved for factory use.

Figure 4. Jumper Pins on Rear Panel
The Master/Slave/CSEL jumper configuration of your TEAC DVD-R/-RW drive will depend on whether or not you already have an IDE CD-ROM/DVD drive installed in your system. The following section will guide you through most typical system configurations.

Installing the DVD-R/-RW Drive

Installing the DVD-R/-RW Drive
Note:
TEAC recommends that you connect the DVD-R/-RW drive to the secondary IDE port in your computer. 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 DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-RW drive is
configured to its default setting of Master.
4b)
Slide the DVD-R/-RW drive into an empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install the DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-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 to it.
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 DVD-R/-RW drive.

Installing the DVD-R/-RW Drive
4e) Connect one end of the included analog audio cable to the analog audio
connector on the rear panel of the DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-RW drive into the empty 5.25-inch drive bay. Install
the DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-RW drive or you may damage the unit.
5c) Connect the DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-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 DVD-R/-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

Notes:
The IDE DVD-R/-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.
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 DVD­R/-RW drive, install the Roxio software to enable recording to DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW discs. (See “Chapter 3. Installing Software” on page 13.)
High Speed Recording Guidelines
To optimize your drive performance and avoid system lockup conflicts, especially when recording to DVD-R or DVD-RW discs, or to CD-R or CD-RW discs at high speed, you need to exercise the following options to enable DMA Transfer Mode on your system:

Connecting to Audio Equipment
The DVD-R/-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.

Appendix A. About DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW Discs

This appendix explains how to handle, load, and eject DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD­RW and CD-R discs. It also lists recommended media and supported disc formats.
Handling Discs
Handle compact discs only by their edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the
surface. Do not touch the disc’s data surface (unlabeled side).
Do not place discs in direct sunlight, or in locations subject to high humidity,
high temperatures, or dusty conditions.
If cleaning the disc becomes necessary (due to erratic operation or visible dust
or smudges), gently wipe the surface of the disc from the center to the outside edge. Do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or other solvents.
