This chapter describes the steps required to connect your Pioneer Drive to your PC. Prior to installation, there are a few things you should know about this product.

First, the Drive is a SCSI device. What is a SCSI device? SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer System Interface. A SCSI system allows up to seven SCSI devices (including CD-ROM drives, hard disks, scanners, and tape drives) to be connected to each other in a series called a "daisy chain" A SCSI interface is the physical connection between a SCSI device and a computer serving as a pipeline to transfer data between the two. ♦ SCSI devices can be installed as an internal (inside your computer) device, as an external (outside your computer) device, or both. This unit is an internal drive. Once connected, signals are passed through the chain from one device to the next and order is kept by assignning a unique SCSI ID number to each device. The last device in a SCSI chain must be terminated to maintain the quality of the electrical signals in the cable.

Second (PCs only): Your System Must Have a SCSI Interface Card

If your system dose not have a SCSI interface, you must buy and install one.

Third , Use the Proper Cable. After installing a SCSI interface card or identifying the existing SCSI interface, it must be connected to your Drive using the proper cable. A 50-pin flat ribbon cable is used to connect this unit to the computer. Connection instructions are given on pages 16, 17. SCSI COMPATIBILITY If your interface card is not listed in the software installation menu, the card may still operate with your Drive. An ASPI* device driver is included with the Pioneer software which provides an interface between the Drive and a SCSI interface card. The ASPI driver translates the peculiarities of the interface card into a standard interface protocol thus establishing compatibility with the Drive. There is one requirement, the interface card must have a software device driver known as an ASPI Manager. If you are uncertain whether your card came with an ASPI Manager, check the documentation for the card. If you find that the card didn’t come with an ASPI Manager, contact the manufacturer or check with an Authorized Pioneer Dealer to see if a driver is now available.

INTERFACE CARD RECOMMENDATIONS

Pioneer drivers have been written to work with built-in SCSI port, on PCs with Future Domain SCSI Interface Cards, IBM SCSI Interface Cards, and ASPI compatible interface cards. Other SCSI interface cards require drivers provided by the manufacturer of the card. INSTALLING A SCSI INTERFACE CARD IN A PC SCSI interface card installation instructions accompany the card. For best results, follow the instructions that ship with the card. Note: The SCSI interface card must be properly installed before continuing with the Drive installation.12 <DRC1087> 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1DISABLE EJECT2048/512TERMINATION (SHORT – OFF)RESERVEDSCSI ID2 1 0 Switch # RESERVED INSTALLATION

SCSI devices are identified by a SCSI ID number from 0 through 7 with ID number 7 typically reserved for the SCSI interface card. The basic rule for assigning a SCSI ID number requires that: Each SCSI device have a unique ID number (address) on the SCSI bus. If two SCSI devices are assigned the same ID number, your computer will not operate properly. Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive if you have a PC: To avoid conflicts with an existing SCSI device and the interface card, choose an unassigned number in the range of 0-6. Tip: Make list of your SCSI devices and their assigned ID numbers to avoid a SCSI ID conflict. Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive: ¶ The three SCSI ID setting switches 0, 1, and 2 (#1, #2 and #3) compose a digital switch. Please execute setting according to the following table. The jumper is ON when a short-circuit socket is inserted to short-circuit the upper and lower pin, and it is OFF in open condition. *If the personal computer has no other built-in SCSI equipment except this unit, please use the unit with the factory setting (ID No. 2). SCSI-ID Setting switch 012*34567 0 (LSB) (#1) OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF ON 1 (#2) OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON ON 2 (MSB) (#3) OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF (open) ON (short-circuited) * The factory setting is for ID No. 2. WARNING DO NOT assign SCSI ID number 7 which is normally reserved for the SCSI interface.13 <DRC1087>

INSTALLATION SCSI TERMINATION SCSI termination is a technique used to absorb line reflections at the beginning and end of a SCSI daisy chain that would otherwise interfere with legitimate SCSI signals and cause errors. To minimize interference with data transfer, SCSI termination is absolutely required for proper operation of your Drive.

WHEN TERMINATION IS REQUIRED

If you are installing the Drive as the only SCSI device or as the last SCSI device in the chain, termination must be enabled. A built-in terminator switch is located on the rear panel. Function Switch #5 is used to enable or disable termination as described on page 14. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1DISABLE EJECT2048/512TERMINATION (SHORT – OFF)RESERVEDSCSI ID2 1 0 Switch # RESERVED As you can see in the above illustrations, whether you have an ON/OFF Terminator Switch or a Termination Function Switch, your Drive has an ON/OFF termination option. ON: The Terminator Switch must be open when the drive is: ♦ the only SCSI device connected to an interface card; and/or ♦ the last physical device in a daisy-chain. OFF: The Terminator Switch must be short-circuited when the drive is: ♦ connected in the middle of a SCSI chain.

SETTING FUNCTION SWITCHES

Function Switches, also known as Jumper Switches, control the operational functions of the CD-ROM Drive. The jumper is ON when a short-circuit socket is inserted to short-circuit the upper and lower pin, and it is OFF in open condition.14 <DRC1087>

The display is on the top panel. Switch 4 - Reserved MUST BE SET TO OFF (OPEN) Switch 5: SCSI Terminator The built-in switch which enables or disables SCSI termination. Short = SCSI Termination OFF : SCSI termination disabled (factory default setting). Open = SCSI Termination ON: SCSI termination enabled. Note: This information is described in detail earlier in this chapter under SCSI Termination on page 13. Switch 6: Default Sector Size Set the default sector size for the Drive when the drive is ON. Short = 512-byte sector size (required for some UNIX systems) Open = 2048-byte (2K) sector size (factory default setting) For PC systems, the recommended setting is OFF (open). To confirm which sector size should be used in your system, refer to your system documentation. Switch 7 - Disable Eject Button Specifies if the power is ON to the front panel eject button. Short = Disables the eject button. Open = Enables the eject button (factory default setting). Switch 8 - Reserved MUST BE SET TO OFF (OPEN) 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1DISABLE EJECT2048/512TERMINATION (SHORT – OFF)RESERVEDSCSI ID2 1 0Switch # RESERVED WARNING The short-circuit switches always must be inserted vertically, never horizontally.15 <DRC1087>

BUSY PHONES CD-ROM DRIVE Fig.3 ÷ Switch off the power of the personal computer and remove the cover or the front panel. ÷ Remove the blank panel installed at the front of the 5.25 inch slot. Installation is not possible when there is no empty slot. ÷ Install the fixation slide rails on the drive. (If slide rails are required, contact the shop where you bought the computer or the computer manufacturer.) ÷ Insert the drive into the slot. ÷ If fixing is required, fix the drive according to the instruction manual for the computer. Use mounting screws with a length of 5 mm or less. Use of long screws may damage the drive. Install the drive after the power supply of the personal computer has been switched off. When the mounting screws are loose etc., the vibrations from disc rotation can generate a ripping noise, so that the screws should be tightened securely. The drive installation method differs according to the computer type. For details, please refer to the manuals of your computer.16 <DRC1087>

DO NOT play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur. DO NOT use non-standard discs, as these may adversely influence this unit and other equipment.21 <DRC1087>

TROUBLESHOOTING Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this unit, check the points below according to the symptom. If your computer did not start up correctly because the initial diagnostics did not recognize a SCSI device, check these items: ¶ Were all of your SCSI devices plugged in and turned on before you started your computer ? The Drive and all of the SCSI devices in the daisy chain must be turned on before you start your computer. ¶ Are your cables connected properly ? All cables must be attached to the correct ports. ¶ Are your SCSI IDs set properly ? Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID. ¶ Have you set termination properly ? If the Drive is the only SCSI device, it must be terminated. ¶ Have you installed the software driver properly that came with your Drive ? If you have not installed the software device drivers yet, refer to the Installation instructions. If data cannot be read from the CD-ROM disc: ¶ Is this disc properly inserted in the slot with the label side facing ± UP ? ¶ Is the BUSY indicator light on ? ¶ Is the disc in proper operating condition ? ¶ Is the SCSI cable connected correctly to the interface card and/or other SCSI devices ? ¶ Are you sure there is a disc in the slot (drive) you are trying to access ? If music cannot be played back: ¶ Are you sure an audio CD is being used ? ¶ Is the audio amplifier, powered speakers, or headphone set connected ? ¶ Are you using CD-DA Audio ? Some audio formats require an audio sound card in the computer to decode digital Audio CD-DA. ¶ Are you operating the Drive that is not connected to a SCSI 2 interface card ? Bringing digital audio from the CD-ROM disc into the computer requires a SCSI 2 interface card. ¶ Is the volume turned high enough ?22 <DRC1087>

TROUBLESHOOTING Disc cannot be ejected: ¶ Has the Function Switch for the eject button been pushed to the ON disabled position ? Function Switch #7. If yes, move the switch to the OFF position.

PLACEMENT, CARE, AND CLEANING

CLEANING DISCS ¶ Fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals. However, data might not be read properly because of reduced brightness of the light reflected from the data surfaces. Clean discs by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter. Disc Cleaning ¶ If a disc becomes very dirty, wipe the dirt away gently with a soft, slightly damp, cloth. The disc must be completely dry before placing it on the disc tray. ¶ DO NOT use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. ¶ DO NOT clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents.23 <DRC1087>
