It supports maximum 52x speed writing ability on CD-R discs, 32x speed on CD-RW discs and 52x speed reading performance. The drive backs up all writing modes and different CD formats and it automatically recognizes the media placed in the drive, whether a CD, a CD-R or a CD-RW. With the bundled CD-RW mastering software, CDWRITER IDE5232 is an ideal model for creating customized audio and data CDs, and for archiving or distributing big files to achieve data interchange and backup. Here are some important features of CD-WRITER IDE5232: 8X, 16X, 24X, 32X, 40X, 48X and 52X writing speed on CD-R media 4X, 10X, 12X, 16X, 20X, 24X and 32X writing speed on CD-RW media Adopts Buffer Underrun Prevention technology Supports MultiRead function Supports writing modes of TAO, DAO, SAO and packet writing Large internal buffer: 2MB Advanced dust-sealed design Low power consumption Firmware upgrade possibility via Flash Memory System Requirements For IBM compatible PCs, the system requirements recommended are as follows: 1 CD-WRITER IDE5232 PC sufficient to run Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Pentium II 350MHz above with at least 64MB of memory Fast and sufficient hard disk space (minimum 200MB for installation, 1GB or more is recommended.) IDE host interface supporting ATAPI MMC command Operating system: Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Package Contents CD-WRITER IDE5232 Audio cable Application software disc 2 CD-WRITER IDE5232 INSTALLATION Host Interface Connections Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your CD-ReWritable drive. This will ensure that your hard drive's performance and speed won't be affected by having the CD-RW drive on the same cable. If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper as "master" or "slave". If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same cable, set different jumpers for each device (CD-ROM as "master", CD-RW as "slave" and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the connection of having your hard disk and one other device on the same cable. CSEL SLAVE MASTER JUMPER 3 CD-WRITER IDE5232 You may consider one of the two ways recommended below to connect your drive. To get the most stable performance for the CD-RW drive to write: Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk Primary IDE Slave: CD-ROM Drive Secondary IDE Master: CD-RW drive For best hard disk performance: Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk Secondary IDE Master: CD-ROM drive Secondary IDE Salve: CD-RW drive Hardware Installation 1. Turn off the power to the computer system and all peripheral devices. 2. Disconnect all cables from the back of your computer, and then remove the cover from the computer. 3. Insert the CD-ReWritable drive into one of the vacant 5.25" drive bays and secure it with screws to your PC. In order to prevent interference between the CD-ReWritable drive and the computer, please make sure to mount the drive using all four mounting screws. 4. Connect the 40-pin IDE cable from one of the IDE ports on the mainboard to the 40-pin connector of your CD-ReWritable drive. Also, connect the power supply cable to the back of the CDReWritable drive. 4 CD-WRITER IDE5232 The red-edge of the IDE Cable must be connected to Pin 1 on the CDReWritable drive. 5. If you have a sound card that can be connected to this CDReWritable drive, you can connect the drive (as Audio-out) and the sound card (as Audio-in) with a 4-pin audio cable. (See figure above.) If your mainboad is integrated with built-in sound system, plug the 4pin audio cable into the CD-IN connector on the mainboard as Audio-in. 6. Re-attach the cover of your computer, and reconnect all power cords. 5 CD-WRITER IDE5232 Driver Installation Windows Environment CD-WRITER IDE5232 is a PnP device, and Windows 98/ME/2000/XP can automatically detect the drive and load the appropriate driver. If Windows cannot detect the drive, you can operate manually: 1. 2. Click the Control Panel Icon in My Computer and then click Add New Hardware. The Add New Hardware window appears. The program will automatically search for your new drive and load the appropriate driver. Software Installation The bundled mastering software gives you the complete solution for making audio/data CDs right from your desktop. It allows you to copy files from your computer to a recordable compact disc. In addition, the audio CDs you create can be played in your home or car CD player. For the CD-RW media, you can write and erase data on the CD as you do with a floppy disk. Windows Environment (1) Run install.exe or setup.exe or (2) Refer to the manual in the software disc. 6 CD-WRITER IDE5232 CONNECTION & OPERATION Front Panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1.

Please read it for reference before you request RMA support from your dealer. Q1. CD-WRITER IDE5232 cannot be recognized. (1) The drive might not be connected properly. Please check whether the IDE cable and power connector are tightly connected. (2) Check if there is jumper conflict. Normally, if 2 drives connected with one IDE cable, the jumper has to separate one to MASTER & the other to SLAVE. (3) If Windows can't detect CD-WRITER IDE5232, click on the "Add New Hardware" in the Control Panel. Windows will start detecting. Q2. CD-WRITER IDE5232 doesn't have power. Please check if the power cord is connected securely. Q3. The CD-RW drive cannot read some general discs. Please check if the disc has deep scratches, fingerprints, or other contaminants on the discs surface. Clean the disc if it's necessary. Q4. There is noise while reading. If the disc used is eccentric or there are labels stuck on the disc surface, it will cause noise. Q5. The drive can't read former session(s) of the CD-R disc which has been written twice or more times. Before writing CD-R discs with data copy, remember to choose "Import session" so as to read the former sessions. Q6. The external speaker doesn't have sound when playing music CD. 13 CD-WRITER IDE5232 (1) Please check if the audio cable is connected to the audio connector properly. (2) Check both rear side of the CD-RW drive and sound card on M/B (If Audio chipset is on board). If they are well connected, check if the sound card is working. Q7. The tray cannot be ejected. There are two possible reasons: (1) Need to be ejected by the application. Some of the burning or playing application will lock the drive. You have to eject by application and close it so as to restore the use of panel buttons. (2) The CD is inserted incorrectly. Please insert a paper clip or small rod into the emergency hole on the front panel for manual ejection. Q8. CD-WRITER IDE5232 dri ...
