About SCSI Controllers

This kit does not include a SCSI host adapter card. A host adapter card provides the
interface between your PC and various peripheral devices. A wide range of cards is
available with various levels of performance, features, and price. If you plan to add
peripherals such as scanners or external hard-drives you will want a more capable host
adapter. If, on the other hand you plan to use the host adapter only to connect this CD­Recorder, a more economical device may be a better choice.

SCSI cards from AdvanSys, Adaptec, BusLogic, Q-Logic, NCR are known to function
properly with this drive.

Visit http://www.yamahayst.com/techsup/recoscsi.html for the latest information on
compatible SCSI cards.

Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card install it in your computer according to
the manufacturers directions.

Set the CD-Recorder SCSI ID Number

Set the SCSI ID Number while referring to the SCSI device connection diagram.

The factory setting for the SCSI ID Number ID: 3. For most installations, no adjustment
of the SCSI ID number is necessary.

Note: Turn off the power before setting the SCSI ID number.

CDR Internal Model, SCSI ID setting

Setting the SCSI Terminator

Connect the SCSI Terminator while referring to the SCSI device connection diagram.

If you are connecting multiple SCSI devices and the CD-Recorder is the last device,
turn the SCSI terminator to ON.

If you are connecting the CD-Recorder between SCSI devices, set the SCSI
terminator to OFF. (The factory setting is ON.)

SCSI ID Number

Make sure that all the SCSI devices connected to your PC have a unique SCSI ID
number.

SCSI Terminator

Set the last device's SCSI terminator to ON. All other terminators must be set to OFF.

ex: CDR Internal Model D = "ON" C = "OFF"
ex: CDR External ModelB = "OFF" A = "ON"

Check your SCSI card

Verify that your SCSI card is properly installed by clicking "Start" then select "Settings"
then click on "Control Panel". The Control Panel will open. Double click on "System"
and you will see the "System Properties" window. Select the "Device Manager" tab and
look for "SCSI controllers". Click on the "+" sign next to "SCSI Controllers". You
should see the name of your SCSI card.

IMPORTANT - If there is an exclamation mark on a yellow background you have a
device conflict - do not install your CD-R until you have resolved the conflict. To resolve
the device conflict:

• Check the Help system in software provided with the SCSI controller.

• Check the documentation provided with your SCSI controller.

• Check Windows Help by clicking "Start" then select "Help" then select the

"Index" tab. Scroll to and select the Index topic "devices, troubleshooting". Then
click "Display" and select "Troubleshooting Hardware Conflicts".

• Contact the manufacturer of the SCSI controller.

Once you have verified that your SCSI controller is correctly installed, proceed to the
installation of the CD-R.

Mechanical Installation of your CD-R

The installation of a CD-R requires some mechanical skill and the ability to work inside a
computer without damaging interior components. If you are not confident in your ability
to do this work, refer the installation to a competent technician. The installation can be
accomplished with simple tools.

1. Disconnect AC power from the computer.

2. Immediately before touching any electronic components or circuit boards,
discharge static electricity from your body by first touching a metal surface on the
chassis of the computer. Always try to handle circuit boards and cards by the
edges. Avoid touching components or traces.

3. Refer to the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on
opening the computer case. Open the case according to manufacturer's
instructions.

4. Most computers will have a blank cover plate over the empty drive bay. These
plates typically snap into place although some may be secured by screws (see your
computer's documentation). Remove the cover plate.

Note: The drive bays of most computers will accommodate the CD-R drive directly.

Some computers may require an accessory rail or mounting bracket. These components are
available from the computer manufacturer.

5. Slide the CD-R into the drive bay. If space is tight inside your computer, you may
wish to connect the audio output cable, the power supply cable, and the SCSI
ribbon cable before sliding the CD-R all the way into the bay.

6. Connect the supplied audio cable to the audio output of the CD-R. Connect the
other end of the audio cable to your soundcard. Some sound cards may have only
one internal audio input which is probably already occupied by the audio output of
your CD-ROM drive. If this is the case, it is best to leave the CD-ROM drive
connected to the soundcard.

Note: Your CD-R will be fully functional without any connection to the soundcard – except
that you will not be able to play an audio CD on the CD-R and hear it through your
soundcard. You will be able to listen to an audio CD via the headphone jack on the CD-R.
And, of course you can still play back an audio CD on your CD-ROM drive.

7. Connect the SCSI Ribbon cable to the CD-R. Note that the CD-R has an arrow on
the right side of the SCSI connector. This arrow should point to the red line on the
SCSI cable. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to the SCSI controller card.

8. Locate one of the DC power connectors inside your computer (a 4-pin connector
with (usually) a yellow, a red, and two black wires). Connect this cable to the
power supply input of the CD-R.

9. Slide the CD-R the rest of the way into the bay and install the four 3mm mounting
screws and washers from the sides.

10. Visually inspect the computer and make sure that you have not pulled any other
cables loose, that no cables will be pinched when the case is reinstalled, and that no
wires are obstructing any cooling fans or ventilation.

11. Reinstall the cover on the PC.

12. Connect the power cable to an AC outlet, then switch on your computer. Make
sure that the LED located on the panel of the CD-Recorder is lit.

Turn on your PC

Operating System recognizes the CD-Recorder

Reconnect any monitor, mouse, keyboard, and AC power cables to your PC.

1. Start your computer in the usual way.

2. Open "My Computer". You should see a new CD drive icon. Insert a CD-ROM
disc into the CD-R drive. Verify that the CD-R drive is reading the disc correctly.

In the figure below, the CD-Recorder is recognized as Drive F:

Installing the software

DirectCD

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive (either the CD-R or CD-ROM drive).

2. Using "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" open the disk. Open and read any
"Readme" files in the directory "DirectCD".

3. On the Windows Taskbar click "Start" then "Run". Browse to and open the
directory "DirectCD" and double click on "Setup". Verify that the "Run" dialog
box reads "[Drive Letter]:\DirectCD\Setup.exe" and click "OK".

4. Follow the on screen instructions to install DirectCD

5. Click "Yes, adjust read ahead setting".

Easy CD Pro

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive (either the CD-R or CD-ROM drive).

2. Using "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" open the disk. Open and read any
"Readme" files in the directory "ecdpro95".

3. On the Windows Taskbar click "Start" then "Run". Browse to and open the
directory "ecdpro95" and double click on "Setup". Verify that the "Run" dialog
box reads "[Drive Letter]:\ecdpro95\Setup.exe" and click "OK".

4. Follow the on screen instructions to install Easy CD Pro.

5. A dialog box "Setup Needs the Next Disk" will appear. Verify that the path reads
"[Drive Letter]:\ecdpro95\" and click "OK". Follow the on screen instructions.
