Emergency
Eject
How to Use the Discs
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs or CD-RW discs, don’t attach
any stickers or labels to the discs. Using discs with them attached not
only causes read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost
due to damage to the disc itself.
The Discs in this unit operate at a very high speed!
DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drive’s optical unit
may be damaged if they break.
DO NOT use non-standard discs. NON-standard discs may not play or
store data properly.
Non-standard discs are any discs that are not the standard 12 cm CD
type discs. This includes 8 cm discs, Sony Walkman™discs, non-circular
discs including promotional, business card discs, and other unusual
discs.
This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if nec-
essary in an emergency, such as failure of the drive or a power outage.
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 above the eject button. 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 excessively will cause malfunction.
* If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a
steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.

Before
Requesting
Service
Troubleshooting
Before calling for service, check this list.
•The drive doesn’t have power.
•Is the power supply cable from the host computer plugged in?
•Is the Power Connector to the drive securely attached?
•The system doesn’t start.
•Are the Primary and Secondary connections and the Master and
Slave settings correct?
•Is the total length of the IDE cable 18 inches or less?
•Is each connector completely attached?
Movement of the PC may loosen connections.
•Cannot Read or Write Discs.
•Is the condition of everything else in the system (CPU, hard disc,
and others) as it should be? (See system environment, page 4.)
•Does the CD-R or CD-RW disc have dirt or scratches?
•Did a screen saver or other application operate while writing to the
disc?
•Is there enough free space on the CD-R/RW disc?
•Does writing fail even using the simulation test?
•Is the disc loaded in the drive with the read/write surface facing the
right direction? (label up)
•Is the drive installed in the correct orientation?
•Was the drive or disc moved from a low temperature environment to
a high temperature environment? (There is a possibility of conden-
sation on the lens in the drive or on the surface of the disc.)
When you call for service, be prepared to give as much information as
possible of your system, environment, and the specific problem. (What
happened? When? How long? What was going on? Were there any
error messages displayed? etc.)

Read Speed Control or CD-R Data CD
The basic default reading speed for CD-R disc media in this drive is 40X. The Read
Speed Control will allow you to select the maximum read speed (52X) for CD-R media,
simply by pressing the eject button. Note that this function is only available with a
CD-R data disc.
To enable 52X CD-R read speed, follow the chart below:
Flow Chart
Open the Disc Tray
Operation User instruction
(Push Eject / button)
(Put CD-R disc on Tray)
CAUTION:
The quality of CD-R data disc varies significantly from brand to brand (or brandless),
as well as disc condition used over time. A disc that is poorly balanced or that may
have cracks in it greatly increases the chance of disc failure or disc shatter when being
read back at speeds higher than 40X, possibly causing damage to the drive.
Closely inspect discs you plan to use in the drive for any abnormalities or cracks.
If you hear strange noise or sounds from the drive during operation, this could be a
sign of an unbalanced or damaged disc and it should be removed immediately.
LG Electronics does not warranty drive damage caused by faulty or shattered discs.
Load CD-R Disc
Close Disc Tray
Initialize 52X READ
(Push and hold the eject button for more
than 3 seconds)
The LED indicator turns on for 3 seconds.
The 52X maximum read speed for this CD-R disc has been enabled.
Ejecting this disc or turning off the PC will disable the 52X maximum
read speed function.
The drive will default back to the 40X CD-R read speed.

Caution!
The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit.
Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard CD-ROM discs
can only adversely affect the drive and cause the disc to
shatter or crush while in use.
Disc crush can only occur when you use a damaged
CD-ROM disc in the drive. It is an extremely rare
occurrence, but there are steps which can be taken to
prevent it.
Always check your discs before inserting them into
the drive.
1. Take care not to use worn, cracked, damaged,
warped or poor quality CD-ROMs, as this may
cause damage to your drive.
2. Check the clear plastic on the center of the disc,
cracks here are the main cause of disc crush.
3. Do not play CD-ROMs which are a non-standard
(I.e. non-circular)shape, such as heart shaped
discs, or discs in the shape of a business card.
How can you keep your discs from becoming
damaged?
1. When not in use, remove discs from the drive.
2. Keep discs in the packaging supplied with them
and out of direct sunlight and away from heat
sources.
Excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive during
operation may cause a malfunction.
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in
temperature as it may cause condensation to collect
inside the drive.
