Meaning / Solution Check that the power, audio and IDE cables are correctly connected to the computer. Change the IDE cable and reconnect it to the computer. Preferably, connect a second IDE cable to the CD-R/RW drive in master mode. Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave select terminal. Reinstall the device driver or update it with the latest version by downloading it from the Samsung Web site. - http://www.samsung-ODD.com - http://www.samsungelectronics.com This case may occur when there is a Windows installation problem; reinstall Windows. Check whether the audio cable is correctly connected to the sound output terminal on the CD-R/RW drive and the sound card CD-IN terminal. Check that the sound card is operational. Adjust the volume control. Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your sound card. You can listen to the CD by connecting headphones to the appropriate connector. If you have installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player, you can adjust the volume using the headphone volume control on the drive front panel. If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media Player of Windows ME/XP, the earphone does not appear in the Digital Mode. Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it, if necessary. 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. Adjust the size of the replay screen. After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if necessary. 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 interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS. You must therefore connect the CD-R/RW drive to the IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than to the sound card, or install an EIDE compatible sound card. Right-click the mouse on TRAY ICON (right side of the menu bar at the bottom of the monitor) and then select "Eject" to take the CD out. Select the drive where the disc is inserted from Windows Explorer. Right-click the mouse and select "Eject" to take the CD out. This seems to occur when you select the recording function as the system selects "Image Recorder" instead of SW-248. In this case, select a recorder from the menu items at the upper part of NERO or Easy CD Creator and then select SW-248 from the Recorder Selection window. When installing the recording software, try not to install the software before the ROM drive as this makes the Image Recorder selected. Use the firmware automatic upgrade function available at the ODD service website to download the newest firmware and then reinstall the recording software which is included in the bundle. - www.samsung-ODD.com - www.samsungelectronics.com
