regulations „title 21, CFR, chapter 1, subchapter J. based on the radia-
tion Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968", and is classified as a
class 1 laser product. There is no hazardous invisible laser radiation
during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted inside of this

or a sticker on it. Do not install a Shape-DVD/CD
into the drive.
In no event shall TEAC be liable for any damages
caused by such a problem due to a defective disk.
Installation
Avoid installation in places with
• high rates of moisture
• temperatures above the specified maximum
• large temperature differences
• large amounts of dust and dirt
• vibrations and
• direct exposure to sun light.

in poor recording. The following problems also can result occa-
sionally:
– The disk (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
Recording may not be completed normally in some cases due to a
malfunction of the drive, a defective medium, etc. Therefore, use
the following precautions.
– Be sure to confirm the recording status by playing back the
newly recorded data after completing the recording operation.
– Be sure to store the source file from which the data is recorded
until the recording is confirmed.
– Do not repair the drive or replace a part of the drive under cir-
cumstances other than designated assurance conditions.
Cleaning and maintenance of your TEAC drive
TEAC drive will not need maintenance if used as specified in this manual.
Usually there are only problems with dirty or defective DVDs/CDs.
Important:
Do not use cleaning CDs which will remove dirt of the
lense of the laser aided by a little brush. Do not clean
the inner parts of your TEAC drive with compressed air.
Any of these methods may cause damage to your TEAC
drive.

Note:
Please ensure the DVD/CD is inserted in a way where
the plugs at the rear of the disk tray and the spring
loaded plug on the front prevent the disk from falling
out of the tray. This is of major importance if the drive is
used in one of the vertical positions.
When using an 8cm-CD disk in horizontal position, place
it on the specified position at the center of the tray. Never
use it in the vertical position.

➃ IDE Configuration Jumpers (strap swich)
The drive has a Master/Slave/cable select jumper which must be
correctly set before the drive is installed.
The strap is factory-preset as shown:
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
configure for each of the cables one of the drives as master and
the other one as slave drive.

4. Controls and Functions
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.

5.1 Drive Installation Directions
The drive is operated in horizontal position. The eject button is located
on the right side of the panel. Installation position is not allowed to be
tilted more than ±10 degrees out of the 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 DW-548D 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
The TEAC DW-548D can output the LINE OUT audio signal through
the headphone jack via the Sound Card. Furthermore it is possible to
connect audio devices to the audio connector on the rear. At the back
side of the DW-548D the audio signal is also available in digital form.
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.
