SETUP – SD-R6572M
Toshiba recommends that only trained professionals install this DVD Rewriteable drive into your
laptop/notebook.
Installation Notes
• The SD-R6572M DVD Rewriteable drive has no jumpers that need to be set
• Mounting orientation: 15° (horizontally), 15° vertically (volume control in down position), 30°
(drive with volume control in up position).
• When mounting drive use 4 M2-PO.4 tapping holes located on the left and right sides of drive.
• When mounting drive, the tightening torque of the four screws must be even. Recommended
screw tightening torque is 2N
• For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm
should be left in all directions.
Software Driver
Toshiba's SD-R6572M drive does not require any unique device drivers for Windows '98/2000/XP/NT.
After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Win '98/2000/XP/NT
Operating Systems support all Toshiba's ATAPI drives natively. If you prefer using DOS, download the
ATAPI driver from our web site.

USING THE DVD REWRITEABLE DRIVE – SD-R6572M
Drive Operation
Inserting Media
To insert media perform the following steps:
1. Figure 1.Inserting Disc
1. Open the drive's loading tray by pressing the Eject Button and pulling out the tray.
2. Place media disc into drive's loading tray, and lightly press down on the inner portion of the disc.
3. Gently close the disc tray.
Removing Media
To remove media disc from the drive, perform the following steps:
1. Open the loading tray by pressing the Eject Button, and pulling tray out.
2. Grasp disc by it's outer edge, and lift out of loading tray.
3. Gently close the loading tray.
Usage Guidelines
• Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD Rewriteable drive
• Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it.
• Do not place objects on the disc tray
• Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc
• Do not press the Eject button while the drive is accessing a disc

Emergency Ejection
y
y
e
CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when
pressing the eject button fails to open the Loading Tray.
1. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.
2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the
picture below.
3. Loading tray will open/eject.
Figure 2.Using Emergency Eject
Handling Media
CD/DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only.
Cleaning Media
Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc
accessing speed.
If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather
from the inner side outward.
NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on onl
half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified b
the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects ar
inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.

TROUBLESHOOTING – SD-R6572M
Problem
Disc tray cannot be opened
Drive is not recognized by system
Drive is not recognized by system
during Boot process, but is
recognized by the Operating
System (i.e. XP, Win2000, Win98,
Win NT, etc.)
BUSY Indicator LED flashes
slowly
BUSY Indicator LED is constantly
ON
DVD-ROM can not play a DVD in
the drive or certain types of CD
media (i.e. CD-plus, etc.)
Solution
• Check that there is power to drive.
• Use Emergency Eject instructions to open tray.
• Is the drive connected properly? Are all cables plugged in properly (e.g.
Power Cable, Interface Cable and Audio Cables).
• Is the software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the
system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid drivers
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.
• Has the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver been corrupted by a
virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact
Technical Support if the Virus renders the DVD Rewriteable drive
software drivers not useable.
• Is the DVD Rewriteable drive software driver loaded? On a step-by-step
(F8) Boot of the system is the DVD Rewriteable drive recognized?
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid DVD drivers
selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.
• Has the Windows DVD Rewriteable drive software driver program been
corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible.
Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not
useable.
• The disc may be dirty Clean it with a soft damp cloth. Avoid cleaning the
disc using a circular motion. The disc should be wiped in a radial
direction. That is, from the inner side outward.
• The laser lens may have become cloudy or blocked by particulate
matter. Please contact Technical Support.
• Possible Hardware Problem. Please contact Technical Support.
• Is the DVD Rewriteable drive driver loaded
• Is the DVD disc the correct format for the type of system that you are
using? (i.e. on a PC an ISO9660 IBM compatible PC format as opposed
to Apple/Mac HFS disc or UNIX disc formats which will not function).
• Do you have the correct software applications program/drivers installed
to run a DVD disc?
• Has the Windows DVD Rewriteable drive software driver program been
corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible.
Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not
useable.
