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 includepower managementfeatures 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 AUTOEXEC.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 CannotdetecttheDVD-ROM Drive(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
running the wizard.

V. Troubleshooting
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 Headphone 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 Headphone
Jack.Ifthere isnosoundfromyourearphonesorheadphones, check
to see the audio cable is connected from the drive to the sound card
(refertoyour soundcardmanualformoreinformation).Iftheaudio
cableisconnectedandthereisstill nosoundfromyourearphonesor
headphones, consult your dealer about your faulty card.
PROBLEM Cannot achieve the maximum data transfer rate performance
specified 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, caching,
processor overhead, and rotational speed, higher transfer rates
may 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 15
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
INSTALLATION for more information.
•For Windows 95 or Windows NT, Bus Master driver must
be installed. Unless your computer dealer installed the driver
whenyouboughtit or your 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
installed 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 depending
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 as Audio CD or Video CD, data transfer
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 directory
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.
