Frequently Asked Questions - DRA14S PIONEER

How to read an 8 cm disc (CD single)?

Use an 8 cm disc adapter (standard shape) and insert the assembly into the tray. Never insert an 8 cm disc without an adapter.

Can I read CD-RW with this drive?

Yes, this drive reads CD-RW. However, the initial access time may be slightly longer, and speed may decrease if disc quality is poor.

How to clean the device?

Use a damp cloth (clean water) to clean exterior surfaces. Do not use liquids, aerosols, or alcohol.

What to do if the disc does not eject?

Press the eject button (▲) while stopped. If the disc does not come out, repeat pressing. Do not force manually.

Does the drive work under Windows 95/98?

Yes, it is compatible with Windows 95 and Windows 98 (Plug & Play). The provided MS-DOS driver is optional under Windows 95.

How to configure Master/Slave mode?

Use the configuration jumper on the rear: pin 1 (MASTER) active for master, pin 2 (SLAVE) for slave, pin 3 (CABLE SELECT) for cable selection. By default, MASTER is enabled.

The device makes a tearing noise, is this normal?

Check that the mounting screws are tight. Vibrations can generate noise if the drive is not securely fixed.

Can I repair the drive myself?

No, never attempt to open the case. It contains a Class 1 laser diode and dangerous voltages. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel.

What types of audio cable to use?

For analog audio output, use a 4-pin audio cable compatible with Molex 70553. Connect it between the drive and the sound card.

Access time is slow on some discs, why?

This may be due to disc quality (scratches, dust) or poor-quality CD-RW. The drive reduces speed to ensure reading.

CD-RW disc reading

NOTES:

This product can read out CD-RW disc data. Note the following:

(1) A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW disc when the operation starts, compared with normal CD-ROM discs.
(2) The read-out speed of CD-RW discs is usually 4 times higher than that of normal discs. However, according to the quality of the disc or under extremely hot or cold conditions, the player may reduce the speed of rotation of the disc during read-out. (Because the reproduced signal level from CD-RW discs is lower than that of normal discs.)
(3) Blank discs, discs where you failed to write data or discs where session close processing has not been made - these discs cannot be used.
(4) The operations may not start or the data may not be read out under the following conditions: The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on the disc, or frequently rewrote discs. If you fail to start the operation, take out the disc and reinsert it to try again to start.

Precautions on plying CD singles (8 cm Discs)

(1) When playing CD singles (8 cm discs), always use the adapter for 8 cm discs. Before loading the disc into the CD-ROM drive unit, be sure to check that it is secured properly by the catches of the adapter. If discs have been inserted without the adapter by mistake, remove the disc immediately by pressing the eject button. If the disc does not come out with one press, press another time.

(2) Use 8 cm disc adapters labeled with the [COMPACT] DISC digital audio mark (recommended standard product). Do not use adapters which cause the disc to idle, nor adapters which are bent or curved.

Illustrations are provided in this chapter as a visual introduction to the Drive.

Please Familiarize yourself with these illustrations and refer to them when necessary to complete the installation and operation of the unit.
