Computer
oftware
❏ Occasionally CD-R and CD-RW discs written by a CD-R/RW drive cannot be read by other
CD drives*. These unreadable discs may need to be read using the CD-R/RW drive they
were created with
* The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs other
than Multi-read compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:
1. CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance.
2. CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.
❏ Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may
require a considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While
this Super Multi DVD Drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding them to display on
your pc’s monitor requires separate MPEG decoding that is done by separate hard-
ware (either an MPEG decoder card or MPEG decoding done by your video card), or
separate software that you install to do MPEG decoding. For further details, refer to
the documentation that comes with MPEG software.
Install the supplied CD/DVD Recording, Authoring & DVD-RAM Driver
Software before using this unit.
* Please uninstall any previous CD burning software you may have loaded on your PC in
order to prevent possible compatibility issues. Once you have installed the supplied software,
you may (if you wish) begin to reinstall previous software, taking note for errors.

How to Use the Discs
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs, DVD discs or CD-RW discs,
don’t attach any stickers or labels to the discs. It could cause 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.
This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this
becomes necessary 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.

Caution!
The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit.
Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard CD-ROM discs
can 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.
