regulations „title 21, CFR, chapter 1, 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 housing of the device listed above is opened without
the consideration of the appropriate processing, serious injuries may

Avoid installation in places with
Operation
Do not operate your TEAC drive under operating conditions exceeding
the conditions discussed in this manual. If you believe your TEAC drive
to be defective please contact your dealer or any of the TEAC facilities.
Important Safety Instructions
Do not install any abnormal disk or DVD into the
TEAC DV-W50D, which has a warp, a crack, and/
or a sticker on it. Do not install a Shape-DVD/CD
into the drive.
In no event shall TEAC be liable for any damages
caused by such a problem due to a defective disk.
• 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.
Important Hints for Using the 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.
(a) 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

3. Precautions for Installation and Operation
in poor recording. The following problems also can result occasionally:
– The disk (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW respectively CD-
R, CD-RW) becomes defective because of faulty recording, and
cannot be read.
– Additional recording cannot be made because of faulty previ-
ous recording.
(b) 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.
Cleaning and maintenance of your TEAC drive
TEAC drive will not need maintenance if used as specified in this manual.
Usually there are only problems with dirty or defective DVDs/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 drive with compressed air.
Any of these methods may cause damage to your TEAC
drive.

Today PCs are equipped with primary and secondary IDE connectors. Usually there is also a 40 pin flat ribbon cable available at
each of the connectors. It is possible to connect up to two IDE
drives to each of the cables. Regardless if the two drives are connected to the primary or the secondary cable it is necessary to

Please take into consideration that the IDE controller adapts itself
to the slower one of the both drives. This may affect the performance of your system. Though it is possible to run a drive together
with a hard disk at the same IDE connector this is not recommended. Configurations should be selected where the hard disk
runs at the primary and the drive at the secondary cable.

tion with the eject button to the right, and vertical installation in both
possible directions. The installation position is not allowed to be tilted
more than ±5 degrees out of the vertical or horizontal position.
Note:
Please use for the installation the fixing holes in the sides or on the
bottom of the drive.
5.2 Installation and Connection
Very important:
Switch off your PC and any attached devices and disconnect
the power cord(s). It is not sufficent to switch off the power
switch!
Do the same if the drive is reconfigured.
(1) Open the case of your PC and lift it off carefully.
(2) Configure the drive if necessary.
(3) Locate a free half-height-drive slot for 13.3cm/5.25” drives. Care-
fully slide the drive into the opening so that the disk tray shows at
the front of the computer. It may be easier to connect the cables
first before you push the drive fully into the slot and to fix it with
screws.

Usually sound cards offer more than one connector to connect an
audio cable to. Please refer to the manual of the sound card to find
the connector in question.
(6) Fix the drive in place with the factory supplied screws.
Note:
Be sure to use the mounting screws provided. If longer than specified screw is used, the DV-W50D may be damaged.

(7) Close the case of the PC. Do not forget to connect other devices
and accessories if there are any.
(8) Connect the PC to the wall outlet and switch it on.
Important:
If your PC will not start up correctly switch it off immediately
and check all of the connections and jumper settings.

7. INSTALLING DRIVERS AND THE WRITER
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 achieve 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 98SE/ME/2000/XP
According to the Plug-and-Play conventions the drive is recognized as
a standard CD-ROM drive first. To make this possible the drives hardware installation must have been carried out correctly. After switching
on your computer, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP will install the necessary driver automatically.
Caution:
Do not install any additional drivers with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP.
SOFTWARE
7.2 Installing Drivers with Windows NT 4.0 and OS/2
After installing the hardware, the reading functionality of the 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 refer to the manual of your operating
system for any details.
42
7. Installing Drivers and the Writer Software
7.3 Compatibility or Interoperability to Other IDE Devices
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 DV-W50D has to be connected as master or as a single drive.
8. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
In case the DV-W50D does not operate normally in the environment
specified in this manual, contact the representative from whom you
purchased the drive or our nearest sales office to you.
