You can then take advantage of the wide range of educational, presentation and entertainment CD titles available in the market. You can install this CD-ROM drive into one of the empty bays provided in your PC. By using the IDE connection, you avoid the need to use a CD-ROM interface card, thus simplifying the installation of the CD-ROM drive. Power Saving Feature The CD-ROM drive has a built-in power saving feature. If the drive stops for three to six minutes' time (depending on the model you have), the LED light goes off. This feature not only saves power but also extends the life of the drive. After the LED goes off, press any button to start again. The LED will be lit and you can quickly resume playing. System Requirement To install the IDE CD-ROM drive, your PC needs to have the following requirements. * IBM PC or compatible, with 80386 CPU or higher (A 80486 is recommended.) * MS-DOS Version 3.1 or later * Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later * Minimum 1 Mbytes of Memory (RAM) * 3 1/2" floppy drive (FDD) * one free IDE connection and an empty 5 1/4" disk bay to install the CD-ROM drive Connecting the CD-ROM Drive To connect this CD-ROM drive to your PC, you will need an IDE connector, for the CD-ROM drive. 1. With the power to your PC disconnected, remove the PC's top cover. 2. Insert the CD-ROM drive into one of the free 5 1/4" bays available for disk drives and secure it with screws to your PC. 3. Connect the 40-pin IDE cable from your hard disk to the back of the CD-ROM drive or if you have a sound card that supports IDE, you may connect this 40-pin cable to the sound card. Also, connect the power supply cable to the back of the CD-ROM drive. * The red-edge of the IDE Cable must be connected to Pin 1 on the CD-ROM drive. Failure to do so may result in damage to your computer. 4. If you have a sound card that can be connected to this CD-ROM drive, you can also connect Audio-Out of the CD-ROM drive to Audio-In of the sound card with a 4-pin audio cable. * Please make sure to connect Pin 1 from Audio-Out of the CD-ROM drive to Pin 1 from Audio-In of the sound card. 5. Reinstall the casing on your PC, and reconnect the power supply. The Front Panel of the CD-ROM Drive The Quick Select Buttons You can use the two quick select buttons to manually control music CDs without running any software program. The right button has four states: EJECT, CLOSE, PAUSE, and STOP. If the tray is out, pressing this button will close it. If the tray is closed, pressing this button will eject it. If the drive is playing, pressing this button will delay playing. Press the left button to continue playing. If the drive is at the pause state, pressing this button will open the tray. The left button has two states: PLAY and SKIP track. If the drive is idle, pressing this button will start playing a music CD from the first track on. If the drive is playing, pressing this button will skip to the next track of a music CD. The Volume Control Knob This knob adjusts the audio output level. The Headphone By plugging in the headphone jack here, you can listen to an audio CD directly playing from the CD-ROM drive. Installing the CD-ROM Drivers under DOS/Windows 3.x Now we will install the CD-ROM device drivers to make your CD-ROM work with your PC under the DOS/Windows 3.x environment. 1. Insert the Installation disk into your PC's floppy disk drive A (Assuming you are using drive A here). 2. Change the DOS prompt to that of the floppy drive, i.e., at the DOS prompt, type: A:[Enter]. 3. Type INSTALL [Enter] to begin the installation process. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen. 5. During installation, a dialog box pops up showing you the files being copied and also your files CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT being modified. 6. After the installation is completed, remove the diskette and reboot your system. * During installation, your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are modified. * In order to enable the use of audio CDs under the Windows 3.x environment, you have to install the [MCI] CD Audio device driver in Drivers option in Control Panel. For more information, refer to your Windows User's Guide. * Disable the "32 Bit Disk Access" function by activating the '386 Enhanced' icon from Control Panel if you connect your hard disk and CD-ROM drive both to the Primary IDE port. Installing the CD-ROM under Other OS Windows 95 Windows 95 will automatically recognize and install the correct driver program for your CD-ROM drive. Refer to the Windows 95 manual for more detailed information. OS/2 Warp 3.0 OS/2 Warp 3.0 will automatically recognize your CD-ROM drive and install the correct driver, which is the `Unlisted IDE drive` driver program. DOS/Windows 3.x CD-ROM Drivers CDROM.SYS During installation, a line is added to your CONFIG.SYS that loads the CDROM.SYS driver. This driver configures the CD-ROM drive with the appropriate settings each time you start up your PC. The entry in your CONFIG.SYS will be: DEVICE=C:\PHILIPS\CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V The entry follows the format: device=[drive:\][path\]cdrom.sys /d:device_name [/v] The installation program automatically puts in the most appropriate values for each parameter as it checks the configuration of your PC. Do not change any of these parameters unless it is absolutely necessary. Parameter Description Values [drive:\][path\] Specifies the location of the default = c:\philips CDROM.SYS on your PC. /d: device_name Specifies the device name of default = MSCD001 the CD-ROM drive. This must be identical to the device name given in MSCDEX.EXE /v (optional) Turns on verbose mode of the no values needed driver, i.e., the driver will display information about its installation. MSCDEX.EXE MSCDEX.EXE is Microsoft's CD Extension, and is used to interface your PC to the CD-ROM drive. For the CD-ROM drive, MSCDEX.EXE version 2.21 or above is required. During installation, a line is added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT that loads the MSCDEX.EXE driver. This driver is loaded each time you start up your PC. The entry in your AUTOEXEC.BAT will be : C:\PHILIPS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 The entry follows the format: [drive:\][path\]mscdex.exe /d:device_name [/l:letter] [/m:<number>] If the file'MSCDEX.EXE' is not included in your disk and you are using DOS 6.0 or above, check that the file 'MSCDEX.EXE ' is in your DOS directory. After the installation, the entry in your AUTOEXEC.BAT will be C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001. The slight difference is the directory name which your file 'MSCDEX.EXE' is copied to. Parameter Description Values [drive:\][path\] Specifies the location of the default = c:\philips MSCDEX.EXE on your PC. /d: device_name Specifies the device name of default = MSCD001 the CD-ROM drive. This must be identical to the device name given in CDROM.SYS. /l:m (optional) Specifies the drive letter to one letter greater be used as CD-ROM drive. than the last drive /m:<number> Specifies the number of sector 10, 20 (optional) buffers. Pin Assignments IDE Pin Assignments The table below shows the pin assignments of the 40-pin IDE connector from the CD-ROM drive. Note that pin 20 of the connector on the back panel of the CD-ROM drive is removed. This is typical of an IDE connector.

Audio-Out Pin Assignments Pin No. Signal 1 Audio left 2, 3 GND 4 Audio right The Jumpers on the Back Panel Master/Slave Jumpers The right jumper, the Master Jumper, and the jumper at the center, the Slave Jumper, are used to set the CD-ROM drive to either a "Master" or "Slave" mode in order to work with your existing hard disk drive(s). In most PC's, the IDE controller allows you to connect up to two devices. The primary device must contain the Operating System (e.g., MS-DOS) and this is almost always a hard disk drive. This device is set to Master mode to enable the PC to recognise it as the boot-up drive. The other device connected to this IDE cable must be set to Slave mode. For example, you can have a PC with a Master hard disk drive set as drive C, and a Slave IDE CD-ROM drive set as drive D. If this is the case with your computer, make sure that the CD-ROM drive is configured as a Slave device. There's only a Primary IDE controller in most PCs. Some of the newer PCs have an additional Secondary IDE controller to support another two devices. The table below shows what you need to do to set the CD-ROM drive to each of the three modes: Mode IDE Controller Master / Slave Mode Primary Slave Primary Slave Jumper capped Secondary Master Secondary Master Jumper capped Secondary Slave Secondary Slave Jumper capped The driver will automatically locate for the Primary and Secondary devices. The IDE CD-ROM drive is set to Slave mode, when the Slave Jumper is capped or none of the Master and Slave Jumpers is capped. You should check that the CD-ROM drive is configured properly before you connect the CD-ROM drive to the IDE connector. If your PC's IDE connector supports only two devices, and you already have two hard disks in your PC, remove the Slave hard disk and connect that IDE connector to the CD-ROM drive or install a secondary IDE controller. Cable Select Jumper The jumper on the left is the Cable Select jumper. Technical Specifications Data Capacity Mode 1 : 650 Mbytes (Block size 2048 Bytes, 74 min.)
