Cleaning and maintenance of your

TEAC USB DVD-R/RW drive

TEAC drives will not need maintenance if used

as specified in this manual. Usually there are only

problems with dirty or defective CDs.

Important:

If liquid is allowed to poor into the drive,

it may cause a serious malfunction, an

electric shock or a fire. When cleaning

with liquid, be sure to remove the pro-

vided AC adapter from the wall outlet

after disconnecting the drive from your

computer.

Important:

Do not use cleaning CDs which will re-

move dirt of the lense of the laser aided

by a little brush. Do not clean the inner

parts of your TEAC DVD-R/RW drive

with compressed air. Any of these meth-

ods may cause damage to your TEAC

drive.

Handling

Check the CD before inserting it into the drive. It

should not have finger prints or other dirt on it.

Especially at high reading velocities dirt may in-

crease the number of reading errors.

Very important:

Shape CDs, a kind of CD which is not

shaped like the normal round CD, are

not allowed to be used in this drive. Oth-

erwise rotational forces may cause se-

vere damage to the drive.

Installing the Writer Software

As a general precaution the installation of the

hardware has to be carried out as described be-

fore. The software installation starts with activat-

ing the reading functionality of the drive as this

is well known with any conventional CD-ROM

drive.

If the reading functionality is available the next

installation step is to achieve the writing func-

tionality provided of the writer software. More

details according the installation of your writer

software you will find in its documention [Help].
