Solving Technical Problems

14

The CD-R/RW drive is not
detected by the computer.

After installing the CD-R/RW
drive, the PC gets slower.

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; see page 7 for further details.

Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave
select terminal.

Problem

Meaning / Solution

The CD-R/RW 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.

The CD-R/RW drive is not
detected by Windows.

This case may occur when there is a Windows
installation problem; reinstall Windows.

No sound is heard from an
audio CD.

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.

A CD is not read or is read too
slowly.

Install the latest version of the device driver.

Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it,
if necessary.

When the MPEG software plays
a Video CD, the pictures are not
regular and the running speed is
too slow.

Adjust the size of the replay screen.

After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if
necessary.

The Disc is not in message is
displayed even though a disc
has been inserted.

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-R/RW 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-R/RW drive to the
IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than to the
sound card, or install an IDE-compatible sound card.

The disc compartment will not
open.

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.
