Device Drivers
When using Windows 98/95 or Window NT Workstation Ver. 4.0, the
installation of software driver or special device is not required.
This DVD-ROM drive is supplied with MS-DOS drivers on a 31/2-inch floppy disk.
These drivers are required to use the DVD-ROM drive in DOS and Windows 3.1.
Drivers for other Operating Systems are not normally required or available as they
usually have an generic IDE, E-IDE/ATAPI DVD-ROM driver built in; Windows 95,
98, NT 3.51 and higher and OS/2 Warp 3.0 are such examples.
If it is necessary to edit any file manually, first make a backup copy on a floppy disk,
then edit the original file, save it to your hard drive, exit, and re-boot the PC to
ensure the change will be implemented.
Running the Install Program (MS-DOS Installation)
1. Insert the diskette into the appropriate drive with DOS booting.
2. Go to the floppy drive by typing A: or B: at the DOS prompt, as appropriate.
3. Type the word INSTALL and press [ENTER].
4. The INSTALL program will begin loading. When loading is complete, the
INSTALL program identification will appear on screen.
5. Follow the instructions on screen.
6. When installation is complete, remove the diskette and reboot your PC.
For Windows 98/95 Users

Emergency Eject
This drive has a function that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this becomes
necessary in an emergency, such as failure of the drive or a power outage. Follow
this procedure in such a case.
NOTE: Don’t use this feature except in an emergency.
1) Turn the power to OFF.
2) Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper clip) into the
small hole at the front. The front door will pop open and the disk tray will come
partway out.
3) Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between thumb
and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.
NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it

Installation, Usage and Handling Precautions
■Installation
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to :
- high humidity
- high temperature
- mechanical vibration
- direct sunlight
■Operation
- During operation, excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive may cause
a malfunction.
- Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature. This may cause
condensation to collect inside the drive.
- Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart
shaped disc, or malfunction may occur.
- Do not use damaged, cracked, or warped discs. If they break inside the unit,
they may damage the optics. The disc in the drive unit rotates at high speed.
- Do not use
non-standard discs, or these may adversely influence this unit and other
equipment.
■Transportation
- Always remove the disc before moving the drive.
■Notes on CD-RW/DVD-RW discs
This product can read CD-RW/DVD-RW disc data. Note the following:
- A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW/DVD-RW disc when the
operation starts, compared with standard CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs.
- Since playback signal level of CD-RW/DVD-RW is lower than the replicated
CD/DVD discs, reading speed of those discs is lower than that of the
replicated discs to ensure data reading.
- Blank discs, discs that you failed to write data or discs that session close
processing has not been made-these discs cannot be used.
- Operation may not start, or the data may not be read under the following
conditions:
The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or
scratches on the disc, or frequently rewrote discs. If the drive fails to read the
disc, open the disc drawer, check the data side of the disc (side opposite the
label side) for dust or scratches, and reinsert the disc and close the drawer
to try to read the disc again.

E-11
Troubleshooting
* When the DVD-ROM drive does not work with the hard disk drive in primary IDE
channel.
(SOLUTION)
1. Check the DVD-ROM drive Master/Slave Jumper setting.
The DVD-ROM drive should be set to the Slave mode if it is on the same IDE
cable as your Hard Drive that is set to the Primary Master mode.
2. Check to be sure your hard disk Interface type is IDE type.
3. Check your hard disk Master/Slave Jumper setting.
Some old-version IDE type hard disks were set to Master Only mode.
In that case, contact your hard disk company and change your hard disk jumper
setting to master mode.
4. If the DVD-ROM drive does not work with above methods, you may need a
secondary IDE card. If you use the secondary IDE card, you should set the
DVD-ROM drive jumper to the master mode if the DVD-ROM drive is the first
device you are connecting to the secondary IDE card.
* When the DVD-ROM drive does not install in OS/2 warp.
(SOLUTION)
1. Select NON-LISTED IDE CD.
* DVD-ROM drive is not present in Windows 3.1 or 3.11 or DOSSHELL.
(SOLUTION)
1. When the WIN or DOSSHELL command lines are present in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT, make sure that the MSCDEX.EXE command line appears
before the WIN or the DOSSHELL command lines.
Please Note: Since this product supports Region Playback Control Phase II, a
certain MPEG decoder card or Software without regional code setting may cause
this drive not to read DVD-ROM discs. This DVD-ROM Drive enables you to change
the regional code up to 5 times.
