How to use this book

This Help book provides information about how to connect your SCSI recorder to your system. It also provides specific information about each recorder supported by Corel CD Creator. Every attempt has been made to provide up-to-date information in this help file. However, if problems occur, contact the manufacturer of your hardware for more information.


What is SCSI?

SCSI is an acronym for the Small Computer Systems Interface. This interface is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for high-speed parallel data communication between computers and their peripheral devices.

The computer and SCSI devices communicate using different "languages". However, SCSI allows you to connect up to seven different SCSI-compliant devices to one SCSI connection in your computer. SCSI also provides the speed necessary for recording compact discs. If information isn't transferred to the recorder fast enough, errors occur that can ruin the CD-R disc.

The SCSI connection

The SCSI connection is, typically, provided through a host adapter that's installed in your computer, although SCSI support is now being built into some motherboards. Information about installing the host adapter is provided later in this document.

The SCSI bus

Any SCSI device can be connected to the host adapter. One device is cabled to the next device and so on, creating a daisy-chain of devices. This system of cables is referred to as the "SCSI bus" over which data is transferred.

External SCSI cable used to connect SCSI devices is about 1 centimeter (0.5 inches) in diameter. The length of the cable should be at least 0.35 meters (1 foot), but not more than 1 meter (3 feet). In addition, you should use high-quality cables to reduce the chance of data errors.

Termination at both ends of the SCSI bus ensures that SCSI signals and data travel along the bus only once. The way that you terminate a device varies among device manufacturers. For example, you may need to externally terminate a device by placing a terminator on one of the device's connectors. Internal termination may require that you open the cover of a device and insert resistors on circuit boards.

An improperly terminated SCSI bus may cause serious problems on your system, such as corrupting information on the media in devices connected to the bus.

Assigning SCSI IDs

A SCSI ID is a value from 0 to 7 that uniquely identifies each device on one SCSI bus. The SCSI ID also indicates the priority of a device on the SCSI bus.

Most host adapters are factory-configured to SCSI ID 7 to give them the highest priority on the SCSI bus. If you're using a SCSI hard disk, it's usually configured as SCSI ID 0. You can set the SCSI ID of the compact disc recorder to any unused number between 0 and 7.

Device manufacturers use different mechanisms for setting SCSI IDs. Mechanisms may be external to the device, such as rotary displays, or internal to the device, such as dip switches or jumpers on the device's circuit board.


System requirements

A Corel-certified compact disc recorder

A SCSI bus-mastering host adapter.

A SCSI cable to connect the recorder to the host adapter

Most recorders serve a dual-purpose: you can use them as CD-ROM readers as well as recorders. The software necessary to use your recorder is provided with Corel CD Creator.

Errors may occur if overlapped or multithreaded input/output isn't supported by the host adapter that controls either the compact disc recorder or a SCSI hard disk. If either the recorder or SCSI hard disk is configured to not allow disconnects, the you should use two separate host adapters.


Installing host adapters and recorders

The following information is intended to provide some tips for installing host adapters and recorders. However, you should install the host adapter and recorder according to the instructions provided by its manufacturer.

Install the host adapter first and then start the system. If error messages about the installation of the SCSI host adapter are displayed during the system startup, correct these errors using the documentation provided with the card before connecting the recorder.

Ensure that you set the SCSI ID of the host adapter to 7 to give it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. You can set the SCSI ID of the recorder to any unused value from 0 to 6.

The host adapter has two connectors: one for connecting external devices and one for connecting internal devices. The compact disc recorder should have two connectors on the back. You can use either connector to cable the recorder to external connector of the host adapter.

Make sure that you terminate both ends of the SCSI bus. If the recorder is the only device connected to the adapter, then you must terminate both the recorder and the adapter.

When starting up the system, always turn on the compact disc recorder and then the computer.

Troubleshooting

The information in this section is intended to help you resolve hardware-specific problems that may occur while using Corel CD Creator. Most of these problems were discovered by Corel's Product Certification team during the testing phase required to certify these recorders. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your drive.

Buffer under run errors

Don't set the write size to 18432. This value appears to conflict with the drive's internal buffer management logic and causes the drive to report a buffer under run error shortly after beginning to write a track. Changing the write size to 18816 (8 blocks) seems to resolve this problem.

Disconnecting from the SCSI bus

The Philips CDD521 recorder doesn't disconnect from the SCSI bus while writing to CD-R discs. If this recorder is used on a system with a SCSI hard disk, the recorder must be controlled by a different SCSI host adapter than the adapter controlling the hard disk. This problem does not exist with the Philips CDD521 Upgraded recorder.

System hangs on startup

When connected to certain host adapters, recorders using a firmware revision of version 2.xx may cause some systems to hang during startup. This problem may be the result of an anomaly in the drives' version firmware and isn't caused by Corel CD Creator or other Corel software.

The following changes may resolve the problem:

If the host adapter isn't controlling a SCSI hard disk, disable the BIOS on the host adapter.

If possible, disable LUN scanning by the host adapter.

Power off the compact disc recorder until after the system has booted.

Simulated recordings

Recorders with firmware revisions prior to 2.xx don't support simulated recordings. For more information about simulating recordings, see "Configuring Corel CD Creator" in the Users' Manual.

Noises during playback

When playing back an audio disc recorded on early versions of these recorders, you may hear a "click" or "pop" at the beginning of each track. This noise is introduced by the recorder when discs are recorded. The noise isn't caused by Corel CD Creator.

Reversed channels

The firmware on early versions of these drives caused the left and right channels to be reversed when recording audio tracks. If this happens with your recorder, you must add an entry to the registry using "REGEDIT". Under the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COREL CORP\COREL CD CREATOR\CDR-PHILIPS", add a new DWORD value named "swapChannels" and give it a value of "1".

This entry forces Corel CD Creator to swap the digital information for the left and right channels before sending it to the recorder. The recorder's firmware then swaps the left and right channels back into their proper positions.

Absorption control errors

With firmware revision 2.04, the recorder may report an "absorption control error at address..." when you run the CD Recorder test. To resolve this error, you should upgrade the firmware to the latest release.

Adaptec PCI 2940 host adapters

While performing a simulated recording, Corel CD Creator reports the following error message during the calculation of the file system size: "The next writable address on the target disc could not be read. Cannot proceed with disc creation". Sometimes, the disc is then ejected from the recorder and Corel CD Creator prompts you to insert a disc. To resolve this problem, disable synchronous negotiation on the Adaptec PCI 2940 host adapter.

You may also experience problems writing to and reading from this recorder if you're using the Adaptec host adapter. You should try reducing the transfer speed of the adapter to 5 Mb/s.

Reporting of free blocks

These recorders with firmware earlier than version 1.28 don't report the correct number of free blocks when using a disc that already contains one or more sessions. Therefore, when writing information to a disc, these recorders may report that more space is available on the disc, even when it's full. This problem doesn't occur with blank discs.

If you're using these recorders with firmware earlier than version 1.28 and you plan to create multisession discs, you should contact the vendor for a firmware upgrade. A recorder's firmware version is shown on Corel CD Creator's Recorder Setup property sheet.

Reading multivolume discs

With firmware version 1.2 of the Plasmon RF4100, the recorder has problems reading multivolume discs. The recorder can read the last session on the disc, but not the first session on the disk. This problem has not been confirmed in any other version of the firmware.
