- MP011RMT
- ---------------------
-
- New Features
- ------------
-
- 1. The MP011RMT Panel will detect the CD format automatically while the
- CD title is put into the CD-ROM well. When CD-ROM door closes, click
- "Play" button directly. MP011RMT can detect CD-i, Video CD, Video CD
- 2.0 automatically.
-
- 2. When the program detects the Video CD 2.0, a Remote Control alike
- panel will appear. Click the Play button on the MP011RMT Panel first.
- Then, follow the instruction on the video program.
-
- 3. Add the Key Mapping function that users can redefine the Hotkeys
- themselves for easy to use and memory.
-
- 4. There are Timer parameters for Windows 95 in "MPEG-I.INI" to control
- the MPEG bit-stream. The default settings are:
- [AppPlayer]
- TimerInterval=3
- TimerTickCount=2
- Means that every 3 ms send 2 ticks to trigger the CD-ROM. If you
- feel the bit-stream is too slow, lessen the TimerInterval and
- enlarge TimerTickCount.
-
- 5. Connect your IDE CD-ROM to secondary IDE interface in Windows 95.
- Otherwise it will slows down the bit-stream transfer and causes the
- playback unstable.
-
- 6. You have to add /U switch after MSCDEX.EXE in "autoexec.bat" yourself
- if you run the MPEG application in Windows 3.1, such as:
- C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /U
-
- 7. To run properly in Windows 95, you should follow the three steps below:
- A. You need to load the CD-ROM driver yourselves.
- The device driver in CONFIG.SYS (Suppose that the AT-bus CD-ROM
- uses 340H as I/O port), for examples:
-

- Windows 95 environment as following:
-
- C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
-
- C. Disable all 32 bit protect-mode disk driver.(follow the steps bellow)

-
- [For MP011RMT with TV Output and Remote Control (optional)]
- 7. MP011RMT provides video output to TV. Be sure to select NTSC or PAL
- according to your TV system. You can switch the video output to monitor
- or TV by pressing Space Bar.
-
- 8. MP011RMT can add an optional Remote Control Model to supports Remote
- Control function and OSD (On Screen Display) function. You can control
- the MPEG card by the Remote Controller. More detail, please, see the
- manual.
-
-
- Trouble Shooting
- ----------------
- 1. Q: The Message shows "Can't Initialize System [90]" when the MPEG
- program executes.
- A: MP011RMT uses four common I/O addresses, 280-28F, 2A0-2AF, 300-30F
- and 320-32F.
- If software and hardware settings does not match or the I/O port
- conflicts with the other add-on cards, then the program will not
- be able to the MPEG Card properly.
- 1. Please refer to MPEG manual to set the jumper on the MPEG card
- setting and execute MP011RMT Setup to config the software again.
- Be sure that the jumper setting MUST be consistent with the
- config of MP011RMT.
- 2. Please let other add-on cards not to use the same I/O port
- (default address is 280-28F) as MPEG default address.
- However, if you want to change current I/O Port address, you
- should change the jumper setting.
-
- 2. Q: The Message shows "Can't Initialize System [100]"
- A: The message indicates that the driver MP011RMT.386 does not load
- while Windows starts or the available memory under 640K conventional
- memory is not enough.
- 1. Please edit the system.ini file at Windows directory, search the
- [386Enh] section, and add a line such as:
- [386Enh]
- device=c:\mp011rmt\MP011RMT.386
- 2. If you load too many TSR programs while PC starts, please quit
- some TSR programs from memory and try again.
-
- 3. Q: The message displays "CD-ROM Memory Allocation Error.[0]" error
- Message when click the CD-I button.
- A: This message indicates that there is not any CD-ROM available to
- playback CD-I and Video CD.
- Please check config.sys or autoexec.bat file and make sure your
- CD-ROM hardware and driver installed properly.
-
- 4. Q: The program cannot detect the CD format while the CD-ROM door close.
- A: 1. First of all, make sure your CD-ROM drive program installed
- properly(refer your CD-ROM drive manual)
- 2. Please check your autoexec.bat file.
- Add /U switch after smartdrv.exe to remove the cache module of
- CD-ROM.
- Or you can put smartdrv.exe before MSCDEXE.EXE as follow:
- C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /U
- .....
- C:\DOS\MSCDEXE.EXE /D:MSCD001
-
- 5. Q: The program cannot detect the CD-I format.
- A: 1. If your CD-ROM can read Video CD and MPEG files (ISO 9660), make
- sure that your CD-ROM supports CD-I.
- 2. Tty to open the CD-ROM door and let the program to read the CD-ROM
- once, then, the system can recognize the CD-i again.
-
- 6. Q: It shows blank video in the screen and the audio is not smooth while
- the MPEG sequence is playing.
- A: It should be that the IRQ of MPEG card conflicts to other interface
- cards.
- 1. Please write down all add-on or interface cards in your PC system
- and make sure all IRQ value not to conflict each other.
- 2. Please remove some interface cards that are not necessary, such
- as sound card, network card... and try again.
- 3. Or you can change IRQ of the MPEG card to 5 or 7 avoid conflicting
- to another peripheral devices.
-
- 7. Q: It plays CD-I and Video CD or MPEG file OK, but no sound ?
- A: MPEG Decoder card I/O port conflicts other interface cards.
- 1. Make sure that your speakers is On and properly connect to the
- Audio Output of MPEG Card.
- 2. Please check the Mute function, Volume Adjust and Volume knob.
- 3. Please remove all probable problem cards except I/O and VGA
- cards, then try again.
- 4. Please adjust MPEG Decoder jumper 1,2 open 3,4 close
- (or 1,2 open; 3,4 open) and set your software config I/O port
- to 2A0H/320H, then try again.
-
- NOTE: Always remember hardware jumper setting should match the
- software configuration.
-
- 8. Q: After installed the MPEG card, the sound card always produces last
- sound and system hangs while exit Windows.
- A: MPEG Decoder card conflicts a sound card. Normally, a sound card uses
- IRQ 5 with Sound Blaster mode and IRQ 11 with Windows Sound System
- Mode. Please change IRQ setting to avoid to conflict each other.
-
- 9. Q: It can not find the device using the Media Player after completed
- installed.
- A: The MPEG Decoder card supports the MCI driver to execute some
- application programs, such as Media Player.
- When you run the Media Player the first time, it will checks
- system.ini with device automatically and produces the mplayer.ini
- file.
- Please select correct device drivers when uses Media Player, such
- as CD-I or Video CD or MPEG file.
-
- 11. Q: How to use MPEG decoder or player with sound card? Should I connect
- the speakers to MPEG card or sound card?
- A: Please find a mini stereo head-phone line. Connect MPEG Audio output
- to sound card line-in.
- The speakers should connect to the spk/output of the sound card.
- Be sure to enable the sound card under the Windows environment,
- especially mixer function.
-
- 12. Q: The playback is not smooth. The MPEG sequence is not stable in
- Windows 95.
- A: 1. Check the "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat" in Windows 95 environment.
- Make sure that the CD-ROM driver is well load in "config.sys".
- 2. Verify the "autoexec.bat" of Windows 95 contains
- c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe /D:[drivername]
- 3. If you use IDE CD-ROM, connect the CD-ROM to secondary interface.
- Be sure that the I/O port and IRQ of secondary IDE are 170H and 15
- respectively.

-
-
- Problems to be improved
- -----------------------
-
- 1. Once you have put the data CD ISO-9660 into CD-ROM, system will keep
- the current file structure and can not recognize CD-i because DOS
- cannot refresh the directory information of the disc.
- Try to open the CD-ROM door and let the program read the CD-ROM data.
- Consequently, the system can detect the CD-i title again.
-
- 2. In Windows 95, the IDE CD-ROM which uses primary IDE interface will cause
- the playback not smooth. Please connect your IDE CD-ROM to secondary
- IDE interface.
- Some of the CD-ROM driver cannot detect where the CD-ROM connects.
- The default I/O port and IRQ are 170F and 15 respectively. Remember to
- refer to your CD-ROM manual to add appropriate parameter after the CD-ROM
- device line in "config.sys".
