of separately from normal household
waste. This includes Sony NEC Optiarc
DVD drives. When you dispose of such
products, please follow the guidance
of your local authority and/or ask the
shop where you purchased the
product.
The mark on the electrical and
electronic products only applies to
the current European Union Member

one for the hard disk and one for
a Optiarc Writer. If you prefer
to connect the Optiarc Writer to
the same port as your hard disc,
(as a secondary device) you have
to change jumper setting to
SLAVE mode.
Installing the Optiarc Writer
in a host PC
1. Turn off the computer, other
peripherals and unplug all the
cords and cables. Then remove
the computer cover, face plate,
mounting clips, and keeper
bracket. Refer to the Guide to
operations that came with your
computer for help with this step.
2. If necessary, slide other devices
above the installation outappro-
ximately 50 ~70 mm (2 ~ 3 in.),
but do not disconnect the cables.
3. Slide the Optiarc Writer into
the computer until it is out
approximately 50 ~ 70 mm
(2 ~ 3 in.).
4. Locate a spare power cable in
your computer.
5. Connect that power cable to
the power connector on the
back of the Optiarc Writer.
6. Connect the I/O BUS connector
on the Optiarc Writer and the
IDE controller. Connect the
coloured stripe side of the
cable on the side marked with
the arrow (∇).
7. Slide the Optiarc Writer into
the computer and fix it in the
computer cabinet with 4 screws.
To avoid damage to the Optiarc
Writer take care, that the screws
do not reach more than 5 mm
into the Optiarc Writers cabinet.
Jumper Block

2 = SLAVE
3 = MASTER
5 DIGITAL OUT Connector
This connector is used to con-
nect Digital Audio to an audio
board.
6 LINE OUT Connector
This connector is used to con-
nect CD
- Audio to an audio board.
7 JUMPER BLOCK
These blocks of jumper set the
configuration for the Optiarc
Writer (ref. chapter
‘Installation’-’Jumper Setting’
for details).
8 Power Connector
Use this to provide operating
power from the host computer.
9 I/O BUS Connector
This BUS connector is used to
control the Optiarc Writer and
data transmission. Use a flat
ribbon cable to connect your
computer to the Optiarc
Writer. Connect the coloured
side of the ribbon cable to the
side marked with the arrow.
Installation
Jumper Setting
A jumper consists out of a pair of
pins and a connector, which fits
over the pins. When the connector
is in place it establishes an elec-
tronic link between the pins, which
enables the function being con-
trolled by the jumper. If the con-
nector is removed, the electronic
link is disconnected and the
function is disabled. Jumpers are
used to set the Optiarc Writer
mode on the IDE interface. The
factory default setting is MASTER
for fitting to enhanced IDE con-
trollers supporting two ports,

Driver Installation
The software installation starts
with activating the reading func-
tion of the drive (CD-ROM).
If you are using the Optiarc Writer
with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/
200x/XP/Vista or IBM OS/2 Warp,
all necessary drivers will be
loaded automatically by the
operating system.
Drivers mentioned above are part
of the Operating Systems and not
available from NEC.
To use the IDE/ATAPI Optiarc
Writer with MS-DOS and MS-
Windows
3.x, you have to install
the attached driver software
before you can use the Optiarc
Writer for the first time.
Refer to the README.TXT file on
the driver disk for information
about installing this driver.
This drive* supports RPC according
to SFF8090v4 (RPC-2). The final
setting/definition of the video
region code is determined by the
fifth DVD video region code change.
For Windows 3.xx don’t use the
32 bit hard disk access, because
this mode is not supported for
DVD drives.
If the reading function is availa-
ble the next is to achieve the
writing function provided by the
writing software. Please insert
Your writing software CD-ROM
into the Optiarc Writer and use
the information provided with
the software (if the installation
does not starting automatically
you have to activate the
installation software manually).
To disable or enable drive’s buffer
under run prevention technology
you need a writer S/W supporting
this function.
Support
For local support like hotline,
service or drivers see the file
„README.TXT“ on the software
CD-ROM or NEC´s Internet site
at http://www.neceurope.com
*) not for NR-9500
8. Replace the mounting clips,
keeper bracket, and computer
cover. Refer to the Guide to
Operations that came with the
computer for help with this step.
Vertical use
The Optiarc Writer can be used in
the vertical position. When using
the Optiarc Writer, in the vertical
position, load and unload discs as
shown on the diagram below.
Only 12 cm discs can be used
when the Optiarc Writer is installed
vertically. Do not place 8cm discs
in the tray when using the Optiarc
Writer installed in this way.
Emergency Eject
The procedure described below
can be used to open the tray of
the Optiarc Writer if the EJECT
button is disabled by software or a
power failure occurs.
1. Turn off the power to the
Optiarc Writer.
2. If a disc inside still spinning
wait until spin stoped certainly.
3. Insert a steel rod (about 1.3 mm
in diameter) into the emergency
eject hole and push firmly until
the cartridge is ejected. A stiff
paper clip may be used as steel
rod.

version), which is part of this bundle.
Regarding the system requirements
please refer to the NeroExpress
manual chapter 2.1.
Disc
For marking the label side special
Labelflash™ DVD-R/+R media is
required.
The data side can be inscribed on
any DVD-R and/or DVD +R media
– subject to following conditions:
1. only the outer area of a DVD
will be used for labelling –
otherwise it will not be possible
toburn in addition data to
this media.
2. the data area and the label area
do not overlap – otherwise the
affected data will no longer be
readable.
3. the larger the disc area
inscribed the less space there
will be available for data.
4. the readability of the inscription
depends on the production
process of the media (though
the contrast will not be as
great as that of the incription
on the label side Labelflash™
media).
Overview
With the new Labelflash™ DVD
Writer from Optiarc DVD-R and
DVD +R media can be labelled
inside the drive (no marker or
printer are necessary).
The labelling can be done post or
before burning. For the inscription
of the DVD label side special
Labelflash™ necessary. In addition
the unused area of the data side
of the media can be utilised for
inscription.
Caution!
If you inscribe the data side you
have to take care that the data
area and the label do not overlap
- otherwise the data on the
media no longer be read.
Because the labelling surface is
covered by 0.6mm thick
transparent plastic the inscription
is very durable, robust against
mechanical damages and
extremely light stable.
The time it takes to burn a label
is governed by the user, and can
be completed in as little as
5 minutes. Should a higher
contrast by required the inscription
will take longer.
The inscription area can be
decided by user freely between
the inner radius of 25mm and the
outer radius of 58mm – but the
minimum area width is 5mm (on
the data side the most meaningful
way is to inscribe just the outer area).
