Using the Drive Upgrading the Firmware Flash Memory The product firmware can be upgraded by downloading the updated file from the following Web site: http://samsung-ODD.com http://samsung.com System Requirements Before you install the CD-ROM drive, we strongly recommend that you check that your setup meets the system requirements listed below. Item Type of computer Free expansion unit Disk space MS-DOS version Windows version Description Intel Pentium III 116MHz(or higher), 16 MB of RAM (or higher) with an IDE interface 5.25 inch 100MB minimum 5.0(or higher) Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / ME / XP Windows NT 4.0 (or higher) Troubleshooting Problem The CD-ROM drive is not detected by the computer. After installing the CD-ROM drive, the PC gets slower. 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-ROM drive in master mode. Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave select terminal. The CD-ROM drive is not recognized by MS-DOS. Reinstall the device driver or update it with the latest version by downloading it from the Samsung Web site. - http://samsung-ODD.com - http://samsung.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-ROM 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. The CD-ROM drive is not detected by Windows. No sound is heard from an audio CD. A CD is not read or is read too slowly. The disc compartment will not open. 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. When the MPEG software plays a Video CD, the pictures are not regular and the running speed is too slow. The Disc is not in message is displayed even though a disc has been inserted. 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 CD-ROM drive is not detected after it is connected to a sound card. The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS. You must therefore connect the CD-ROM drive to the IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than to the sound card, or install an IDE compatible sound card.
