surface.

• Do not place the drive in 

direct sunlight.

• Avoid low- or high-temperature 

environments. 

• Avoid high-humidity environments.

Handle with caution to prevent 
damage from external shock.

Do not drop the drive, and
protect it fromsevere shocks.

• It can damage the drive or cause 

it to malfunction.

Do not move the drive while in operation and 

do not attempt to open the disc tray byforce.  

Make sure to close all working programs before

attempting to open the tray and always use the

open/close button.

Do not use cracked, distorted or
damaged discs.

Do not insert a pin into the emergency

opening while in operation.

In particular, a disc with a crack on the 
inner tracks may break while in use.

• Never allow food particles or 

foreign substances to enter the 
drive casing. 

• To protect against the risk of 

fire, do ot spill such liquids as 
alcohol and benzene on the 
drive.

Do not disassemble, attempt to repair
or modify the device without express
approval as directed in the manual. 

•

electric shock, and fire.

Important to read and understand 

at all times

Do not disassemble

1. Check to see that the disc does not have a crack before use. If the disc has a crack (especially around the center hole), it is recommended that

you make a copy immediately and use the copy instead. When a cracked disc is used continuously,the size of the crack is  likely to grow and it
will eventually result in irreparable damage to the disc.

2.  Do not use low quality discs (i.e., illegal products, scratched or damaged discs).

• Any change or modification not expressly approved by designated qualified personnel could 

void your authority to operate this device.

Solving Technical Problems

The DVD Writer is not

detected by the computer.

After installing the DVD Writer, 
the PC gets slower.

•

Check that the power, audio and EIDE cables are correctly 

connected to the computer.

•

Change the EIDE cable and reconnect it to the computer. 

Preferably, connect a second EIDE cable to the DVD Writer

in master mode.

•

Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave select 

terminal.

When the MPEG software

plays a Video CD, the pictures

are not regular and the running

speed is too slow.

•

Adjust the size of the replay screen.

•

After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if necessary.

A CD is not read or is read

too slowly.

•

Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it, 
if necessary.

The disc compartment will

not open.

•

Check that the power cable is correctly connected.

•

Power off and disconnect the PC.
Insert a pin or unfolded paper clip in the emergency hole and push
firmly until the disc compartment opens.

The DVD Writer is not

detected after it is connected

to a sound card.

•

The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.

You must therefore connect the DVD Writer to the EIDE 

port on the PC mother board, rather than to the sound card, 

or install an EIDE compatible sound card.

The Disc is not in message is

displayed even though a disc

has been inserted.

•

The computer may not recognize the disc if you start playback 

too quickly after inserting the disc. 

Open and close the disc compartment and try again. 

•

Clean the disc and try again.

•

The friction noise generated during SPIN-UP and STOP is caused by the

Automatic Ball Balancing System(ABS) and is not a malfunction.
