in poor recording. The following problems also can result occa-

sionally:

– The disk (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW respectively CD-

R, CD-RW) becomes defective because of faulty recording, and

cannot be read.

– Additional recording cannot be made because of faulty previ-

ous recording.

(b) Data protection

Today PCs are equipped with primary and secondary IDE con-

nectors. Usually there is also a 40 pin flat ribbon cable available at

each of the connectors. It is possible to connect up to two IDE

drives to each of the cables. Regardless if the two drives are con-

nected to the primary or the secondary cable it is necessary to

Please take into consideration that the IDE controller adapts itself

to the slower one of the both drives. This may affect the perform-

ance of your system. Though it is possible to run a drive together

with a hard disk at the same IDE connector this is not recom-

mended. Configurations should be selected where the hard disk

runs at the primary and the drive at the secondary cable.

Recommended configurations:

5.1 Drive Installation Directions

There are three possible positions for installation: Horizontal installa-

tion with the eject button to the right, and vertical installation in both

possible directions. The installation position is not allowed to be tilted

more than ±5 degrees out of the vertical or horizontal position.

Note:

Please use for the installation the fixing holes in the sides or on the

bottom of the drive.

5.2 Installation and Connection

Very important:

Switch off your PC and any attached devices and disconnect

the power cord(s). It is not sufficent to switch off the power

switch!

Do the same if the drive is reconfigured.

(1) Open the case of your PC and lift it off carefully.

(2) Configure the drive if necessary.

(3) Locate a free half-height-drive slot for 13.3cm/5.25” drives. Care-

fully slide the drive into the opening so that the disk tray shows at

the front of the computer. It may be easier to connect the cables

first before you push the drive fully into the slot and to fix it with

screws.

ENGLISH

5. Connection to a Personal Computer

(4) Connect the power cable and the 40-pin data cable (assure the

correct orientation, pin 1 is often marked with a color stripe) to the

drive. Connecting in the wrong orientation may damage the drive

and the PC!

(5) Connect the drive to your sound card. Use the audio cable pro-

vided with your sound card.

Usually sound cards offer more than one connector to connect an

audio cable to. Please refer to the manual of the sound card to find

the connector in question.

(6) Fix the drive in place with the factory supplied screws.

Note:

Be sure to use the mounting screws provided. If longer than speci-

fied screw is used, the DV-W50D may be damaged.

(7) Close the case of the PC. Do not forget to connect other devices

and accessories if there are any.

(8) Connect the PC to the wall outlet and switch it on.

Important:

If your PC will not start up correctly switch it off immediately

and check all of the connections and jumper settings.

7. Installing Drivers and the Writer Software

6. CONNECTION TO AUDIO EQUIPMENT

It is possible to connect audio devices to the audio connector on the

rear.

7. INSTALLING DRIVERS AND THE WRITER

SOFTWARE

As a general precaution the installation of the hardware has to be car-

ried out as described before. The software installation starts with acti-

vating the reading functionality of the drive as this is well known with

any conventional CD-ROM drive. If the reading functionality is avail-

able the next installation step is to achieve the writing functionality pro-

vided of the writer software. More details according the installation of

your writer software you will find in its documention [Help].

7.1 Installing Drivers with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP

According to the Plug-and-Play conventions the drive is recognized as

a standard CD-ROM drive first. To make this possible the drives hard-

ware installation must have been carried out correctly. After switching

on your computer, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP will install the neces-

sary driver automatically.

Caution:

Do not install any additional drivers with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP.

7.2 Installing Drivers with Windows NT 4.0 and OS/2

After installing the hardware, the reading functionality of the drive is

activated with installing the drivers shipped with the corresponding

operating system. The drivers may be configured and activated aided

by the system control. Please refer to the manual of your operating

system for any details.
