| Loading Tray Load disc using tray. Busy Indicator The LED lights green or amber when the drive is operating (LED is amber when drive is writing.) Eject Button The Eject Button is used to open the disc tray so you can install or remove a disc. Emergency Eject Hole The emergency eject hole is to be used only when the Loading Tray will not open when Eject Button is pressed. |
| Installation The SD-R2412 CD-RW/DVD-ROM has no jumpers that need to be set Mounting orientation: ±15° (horizontally), ±15° Vertically (volume control in down position), ±30° (drive with volume control in up position). When mounting drive use 4 M2-PO.4 tapping holes located on the left and right sides of drive. When mounting drive, the tightening torque of the four screws must be even. Recommended screw tightening torque is 0.2Nm For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm should be left in all directions. |
| Drive operation Inserting Media To insert media (CD, CD-R, CD-RW or DVD disc) perform the following steps:  Open the drive's loading tray by pressing the Eject Button and pulling out the tray. Place media disc into drive's loading tray, and lightly press down on the inner portion of the disc. Gently close the disc tray. Removing Media To remove media disc from the drive, perform the following steps: Open the loading tray by pressing the Eject Button, and pulling tray out. Grasp disc by it's outer edge, and lift out of loading tray. Gently close the loading tray. |
| Usage Guidelines Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it. Do not place objects on the disc tray. Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc. Do not press the Eject button while the drive is playing a DVD movie or accessing a disc. To stop a DVD movie, click Stop button in the DVD player application program. NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive. |
| Regional Coding Region Protection Coding (RPC) of DVD Discs: this feature is supported on DVD Players and is used with DVD-Video Discs (i.e. movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regional "zones." These regions or "zones" correlate to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC Codes are placed on Movie Discs marketed throughout the world based on the region of the world where they are being sold. These RPC codes help to control and prevent the pirating of new release movies into other motion picture market regions prior to their true release dates within those markets. The SD-R2412 DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive supports the current RPC phase 2 industry specifications. This means that when the DVD-ROM drive ships from the factory it is set to the region for which the Operating System was intended. In other words the drive is set to support the Region 1 (North America) Operating System and will only play Region 1 (North America) DVD-Video movie discs. |
| Emergency Ejection CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when pressing the eject button fails to open the Loading Tray. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the picture below. Loading tray will open/eject.  |
| Handling Media DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only. If a DVD movie skips or hangs during playback, clean the media. Most DVD video playback issues are media-related and can be remedied by proper handling and care of media. |
| Cleaning Media Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc accessing speed. If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather from the inner side outward. |
| Troubleshooting Disc tray cannot be opened Check that there is power to drive. Use Emergency Eject instructions to open tray. Drive is not recognized by system Is the software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the system is the DVD-ROM recognized? (BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid drivers selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support. Has the CD-RW/DVD-ROM software driver been corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the CD-RW/DVD-ROM software drivers not useable. Drive is not recognized by system during Boot process, but is recognized by the Operating System (i.e. XP, 2000, Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, etc.) Is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the system is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM recognized? (BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid CD-RW/DVD-ROM drivers selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support. Has the Windows CD-RW/DVD-ROM software driver program been corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not useable. BUSY Indicator LED flashes slowly The disc may be dirty. Clean it with a soft damp cloth. Avoid cleaning the disc using a circular motion. The disc should be wiped in a radial direction. That is, from the inner side outward. The laser lens may have become cloudy or blocked by particulate matter. Please contact Technical Support. BUSY Indicator LED is constantly ON Possible Hardware Problem. Please contact Technical Support. DVD-ROM can not play a DVD in the drive or certain types of CD media (i.e. CD-plus, etc.) Is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM driver loaded Is the DVD disc the correct format for the type of system that you are using? (i.e. on a PC an ISO9660 IBM compatible PC format as opposed to Apple/Mac HFS disc or UNIX disc formats which will not function). Do you have the correct software applications program/drivers installed to run a DVD disc? Has the Windows CD-RW/DVD-ROM software driver program been corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact Technical Support if the Virus renders the software drivers not useable. |
