manual before using the product. For easy reference in the future, please keep the manual at a
handy location.
Multimedia Printer series
Thank you for purchasing the Multimedia Printer series drive MP7080A (hereafter referred to as the drive). The drive
enables you to play CD-ROM discs, write once and play CD-R discs, or write, play, and rewrite CD-RW discs.
The following marks indicate media that can be used with the drive.

Handling Procedures
Obey the following cautions when handling the drive or discs.
Cautions During Installation
●Install the drive in accordance with the specifications. Be careful to avoid locations likely to cause vibration or shock.
●Avoid locations where there is high humidity, excessive dust, or poor ventilation.
●Avoid locations in direct sunlight, with severe changes in humidity, or places where there are extremely high or low temperature
variations.
●Don't use the drive near radio or television receivers. It may interfere with their reception.
●Do not disassemble the drive. Dismantling the drive to attempt repairs or for other reasons is dangerous because the laser may
radiate outside the unit.
Cautions During Use
●Don't suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm place, or suddenly raise the room temperature. Condensation may occur,
causing abnormal operation.
●Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may be damaged, causing data loss.
●Be careful to prevent foreign objects such as liquids or metal from entering the drive. Should by chance a foreign object enter the
drive, please consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.
●Don't use benzene or thinner to clean dirt from the drive. Don't allow chemicals such as insecticides to contact the drive. Use a soft
cloth to wipe the drive, or moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water and use it to clean particularly dirty areas.
●Don't cutoff the electric power while the drive is operating.
●When connecting two E-IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary connectors, make sure that the two devices are not both configured
as Master, or both as Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows may fail to run or recognize the drives.
●The total length of the E-IDE cable should be less than 18 inches (about 45 cm).
●Make sure the power to the host computer is turned OFF before connecting.
●Never insert a damaged disc into the drive.
●In wintertime, don't use a disc soon after bringing in from outdoors. Use it only after it has reached room temperature.
Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning
●Remove the disc by pressing the eject button.
●Use compressed air to clear dust from the disc. (Spray the compressed air for about 5 seconds).

●Check to see if there is dirt on the surface of the disc. Be careful not to touch the disc with the fingers when doing this. (See Fig. 1)
●After cleaning the disc with compressed air, place it on the disc tray and mount it.(See Fig. 2)
●We suggest using Perfect Duster II (80z.) as compressed air for cleaning.
Other Cautions
●When moving the equipment, make sure that the disc has been removed from the drive.
●When connecting connectors, make sure that the power is OFF. If the power is ON, there is a possibility of short circuit.
●When not using the drive for a long period, dust may adhere to the disc tray. Before using the drive again, use dry air cleaner to
remove the dust from the tray.

Drive functions and settings
Front Panel | Rear panel
Front Panel
1. Disc tray
This is the tray for the disc. Place the disc on the ejected disc tray, then lightly push the tray (or push the eject
button) and the disc will be mounted.
Caution
Don't use force to pull out or push in the disc tray. This might cause damage to the loading
section of the drive.
2. Headphone jack
This jack is for connecting headphones or mini-speakers.
3. Volume control
This is used to adjust the output volume of the headphone jack. It can't be used to adjust the output volume for the
audio output connectors on the rear panel.
Caution
Turn the volume down before turning on the power. Sudden loud noises can damage your
hearing.

How to Use the Drive
Caution
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs or CD-RW discs, do not attach any stickers or labels to the
discs. Using discs with labels attached not only causes read and write errors, but data on the disc may be
lost due to damage to the disc itself.
●Load the disc
●Disc ejection
●Emergency Eject
●Using the Drive in a Vertical Position

4. Busy indicator
This indicator lights orange when a disc is mounted into the drive. When the disc is being accessed, it flashes or
lights orange. If a disc is not mounted, the indicator does not light even when the power is turned on. When a
illegal disc is loaded or some hardware trouble occurs, the indicator blinks.
5. Eject button
This is the button used to eject or insert in the disc tray.
6. Emergency eject hole
This drive has a function that allows the disc to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary in an emergency
such as failure of the drive or a power outage.
Caution
This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will cause
malfunction.
Rear panel
1. Digital Audio Output Connector
Provides output to a sound card (Digital signal).
2. Analog Audio Output Connector
Provides output to a sound card (Analog signal).
3. Jumper Connector
This jumper determines whether the drive is configured as a master or slave. Changing the master-slave
configuration takes effect after power-on reset.
4. IDE Interface Connector

Connect to the IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) interface using a 40-pin flat IDE cable.
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect the cable when the power is on, as this could cause a short circuit
and damage the system. Always turn the power OFF when connecting or disconnecting the
cable.
5. Power Connector
Connects to the power supply (5 and 12V DC) of the host computer.
Caution
Be careful to connect with the proper way.
Connecting the wrong way may damage the system (and is not guaranteed).

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 the following procedures in such a case.
Caution
This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will cause
malfunction.
1. Turn the power to OFF.
2. Insert a fine tipped object into the emergency eject hole.
The front door pops open and the disk tray comes 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
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.

Disc ejection
1. Press the eject button
2. Slowly take the disc out of the disc tray
3. Press the eject button or push the disc tray and the tray will be inserted back into the drive.

Caution
After ejecting the disc, return the disc tray inside the unit quickly. When the disc tray is in the
ejected position, dust and other debris will enter, possibly causing read errors, write errors, or
drive failure.
Back Next
Load the disc |Disc ejection | Emergency Eject
Using the Drive in a Vertical Position
