Item Checklist
Thank you for purchasing anASUS DVD-ROM Drive. The DVD-ROM Drive adds
multimedia capabilities, such as sound and video, into your system.
DVD-ROM, short for Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory or Digital Video
Disc Read-Only Memory, is a type of read-only compact disk that can hold a mini-
mum of 4.7GB, enough for a full-length movie or hours of music.
One of the many compelling reasons to upgrade to anASUS DVD-ROM Drive is its
backward-compatibility with CD-ROMs. Thus, you will be able to take advantage
not only of the growing number of DVD-ROM titles today for your entertainment,
education, and productivity but also the thousands of CD-ROM titles currently avail-
able. This means that yourASUS DVD-ROM Drive can play old CD-ROMs, CD-I
disks, CD-R disks, and VCDs, and of course, DVD-ROMs.
Another reason is that the ASUS DVD-ROM Drive is connected by means of the
IDE connector of your computer. This connector is usually used to install the hard
disk to your computer. By using the IDE connection, you avoid the need to use an
interface card.
This User’s Manual explains how to install the ASUS DVD-ROM Drive and the
software to use your new drive. Installation is quick and easy if you follow the
instructions carefully.
You’ll also learn from this manual how to use your ASUS DVD-ROM Drive and
detect and solve any problems you might encounter.

V. TROUBLESHOOTING
General Problems
PROBLEM Unable to access DVD-ROM Drive.
CAUSES 1. The information in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT
or both files might be incorrect. (DOS only.)
2. Some BIOSthat include powermanagement features useIRQ14
or IRQ 15, which should be reserved for IDE devices like your
CD-ROM Drive. (DOS only.)
SOLUTIONS 1. Check the LASTDRIVE= entry in your CONFIG.SYS file.You
might have to set the drive letter to one higher than your actual
last drive letter. For example, if the last drive on your system is
drive D, try setting the parameter in the CONFIG.SYS file to
LASTDRIVE=E. (DOS only.)
•Your DVD-ROM Drive requires the drivers, MSCDEX.EXE
and ASUSCD.SYS, to access the drive. Check your AUTO-
EXEC.BAT file for the statement C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /
D:ASUCD01 and CONFIG.SYS file for the statement
DEVICE=C:\ASUS_CD\ASUSCD.SYS/D:ASUSCD01(see
Software Installation for more information). (DOS only.)
2. Change the IRQ setting of the device that is using IRQ 14 or IRQ
15, for example, sound card or motherboard. Refer to the card or
motherboard documentation for more information. (DOS only.)
PROBLEM Cannotdetect theDVD-ROMDrive (Windows9xorWindowsNT).
CAUSE There are times when Windows cannot detect a new hardware.
SOLUTION Install the drivers manually.
•Start the Add New Hardware wizard by double-clicking My
Computer | Control Panel | Add New Hardware and then
follow the instructions on your screen.
NOTE: Let Windows detect your DVD-ROM Drive. Make sure you have
installed and connected your DVD-ROM Drive in your computer before

V. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM No sound from speakers.
CAUSES 1. Audio cable or speakers are not connected properly.
2. The volume is not adjusted to an audible level.
3. The drive may be faulty.
4. The card may be faulty.
SOLUTIONS 1. Check that the CD audio cable is connected to theAnalogAudio
line out connector on the drive and sound card. Check also that
the pin definitions of your DVD-ROM Drive and sound card are
the same. If not, check with your dealer for a compatible audio
cable or ask a qualified technician to adjust the cables to match
your DVD-ROM Drive’s pin definitions. Also, check that the
speakers are connected to the correct jack on the sound card.
2. Make sure the volume is turned up to an audible range.
3. Connect earphones or headphones to the Headphones Jack. If
there is no sound from your earphones or headphones, consult
your dealer about your faulty drive.
4. Connect earphones or headphones to the sound card’s Headphones
Jack.If thereis nosoundfromyourearphones orheadphones,check

PROBLEM Cannotachievethemaximumdatatransferrateperformancespeci-
fied for the DVD-ROM Drive.
CAUSES 1. If you are using a benchmarking utility, it may be old.
2. The disc is not full.
3. Given the signal quality issues with PIO Mode 4 transfer rates
in some systems and such variables as error correction, cach-
ing, processor overhead, and rotational speed, higher transfer
ratesmay not be achievable with the default transfer mode.Thus
transfer rates may be lower.
4. The disc you are playing may not be in a CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM format.

ASUS High-Speed DVD-ROM Drive 13
V. Troubleshooting
V. TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLUTIONS 1. Upgrade your benchmarking utility to one that supports tests
on the outer tracks of your drive. Your DVD-ROM Drive uses
Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) technology, wherein the
spindle motor is running at the same velocity, while the drive is
accessing data at the inner or outer tracks. In this way, the drive
will achieve lower data transfer rates at the inner tracks and
higher transfer rates at the outer tracks. Thus using some or
older benchmarking utilities, such as WinBench 96, will give
lower data transfer rates because these utilities use the drive’s
inner tracks for its performance tests.
2. A disc will occupy only the inner tracks when it is not full.
Thus, because of the way your DVD-ROM Drive accesses data
(see preceding explanation on CAV technology), the drive will
achieve lower data transfer rates. Use a full disc if possible to
get the maximum transfer rate from your drive.
3. Change the transfer mode of your DVD-ROM Drive to Multi-
word or Ultra DMA Mode to maximize its capability.
•For DOS, see Custom Setup under SOFTWARE INSTAL-
LATION for more information.
•For Windows 95 or Windows NT, Bus Master driver must
be installed. Unless your computer dealer installed the driver
whenyouboughtitoryour motherboard supports Bus Master
mode, Windows will not use bus mastering for your CD-
ROM Drive.
•Click My Computer | Control Panel | System | Device
Manager | CD-ROM controllers. If you are using the bus
master, PCI Bus Master will be displayed. If not and your
motherboard has the new PCI controller chipsets from Intel,
for example, the 430TX or 440BX, but does not have a
CMOS setting for Bus Master mode, you may have to get
the driver from Intel. Check with your dealer for more
information.

V. Troubleshooting
V. TROUBLESHOOTING
DVD-ROM Specific Problems
PROBLEM Cannot play any DVD movie.
CAUSE You may not have an MPEG-2 card and/or decoder software in-
stalled on your computer system.
SOLUTIONS 1.Install an MPEG-2 card. To install an MPEG-2 card, you need
at least a 166MHz Pentium, AGP motherboard, 32MB system
memory, and Windows 95 OSR2.
2.Install a software-only DVD decoder. To install a software-only
DVD decoder, you need at least a 300MHz Pentium II, AGP
motherboard, 32MB system memory,AGPgraphics card, sound
card supporting 48MHz sample rate, and Windows 95 OSR2
with USB upgrade.
3.Contact your dealer for more information.
PROBLEM When playing a DVD movie, I get an error message about an
invalid country or region code.
CAUSE DVD movies are regionally coded so you may be trying to play a
DVD movie from a region other than the one specified for your
MPEG-2 card or DVD player software.
SOLUTION Check your DVD movie to see which Region Code it has then
purchase an MPEG-2 card and/or DVD player software specific
for that region.
4. Your DVD-ROM drive reads data at different speeds depend-
ing on the disc format. Your DVD-ROM drive performs at its
best when it is reading a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM format disc.
With other formats, such asAudio CD or Video CD, data trans-
fer rate performance may be slower than the maximum rate
performance specified.
PROBLEM Cannot display the directory on an audio CD disc with the DIR
command.
CAUSE The DIR command does not work with audio CD discs while in
DOS. You can use the command, however, to display the direc-
tory on a data CD.
NOTE: You can use the DIR command to display the directory on an audio
disc while in Windows using the command prompt or MS-DOS Prompt.
Refer to your Windows manual on how to find the command prompt.
