Location and Function of Parts and Controls
Precautions
■ Installation
• Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
–excessive dust
–mechanical vibration
–direct sunlight.
We recommend to use the drive in a horizontal or vertical position.
Do not use it in a tilted position.
■ Operation
• Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to
malfunction during reading or writing.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as
condensation may form on the lens inside the drive as a result.
Should the surrounding temperature suddenly rise while the drive
is on, wait at least one hour before you turn off the power.
Operating the drive immediately after a sudden increase in
temperature, may result in a malfunction during reading or
writing.
■ Transportation
• Close the disc drawer before moving the drive.
• Keep the original packing materials for future transport of the
drive.
Precautions
9
Example of System Setup
To use the CD-R/RW device, the following components are
required:
• Computer (IBM-PC/AT, HP Vectra, or equivalent)
• IDE Host adapter (ATA compliant)
• Floppy disc drive
• IDE Interface cable (40 to 40 pin flat cable)
• Software (Device driver, utilities)
Installing the Drive inYour Computer
This section provides an example of instruction for installing the
CD-R/RW drive unit into your personal computer using the IDE
Host Adaptor (ATA-Compliant).
To connect the CRX100E directly to the PC’s IDE port, consult
your PC manufacturer for instruction.
Preparation
You need the following parts and tools (these are not supplied with
the drive):
• A flat-blade screwdriver
• Four screws 3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in length.
• Two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.
Unplug the computer and disconnect the cables attached to the back
to give yourself more room to work. Do not turn on the power of the
computer before completing the entire installation process.
10
Example of System Setup / Installing the Drive in Your Computer
Setting the Jumpers
Set the jumpers on the rear of the drive in accordance with the
configuration of your computer system.
The jumpers are preset at the “MASTER” position as illustrated at
the factory.
CSEL
SLAVE
MASTER
Notes for configuration jumpers:
• Designation of the Drive Number is generally set by inserting a
jumper pin on either the MASTER or the SLAVE pin.
• When the CRX100E is daisy-chained with a Hard Disk Drive on
an IDE Card, set the Hard Disk Drive as MASTER and the
CRX100E as SLAVE.
• If the CRX100E is the only device connected to the IDE Card, set
the CRX100E as MASTER.
However, it should be noted that some personal computers may use
CSEL in lieu of the foresaid MASTER/SLAVE selection. In this
case, remove the existing jumpers from MASTER and SLAVE, and
set a jumper on CSEL. When the CSEL signal of the interface
connector is set low, the drive is designated as Drive 0. When the
CSEL is set high, the drive is designated as Drive 1.
Consult your PC manufacturer, IDE Card manufacturer or dealer for
further details.
Installing the Drive in Your Computer
11
Opening the Computer
1 If your computer has its rear side covered by a plastic panel
attached with plastic hook pad, pull it off.
2 Remove the cover mounting screws.
3 Remove the cover of the computer.
Mounting the Drive
If mounting rails are necessary, attach them to the drive in the same
way as your floppy disk drive and slide the drive into the lower
drive bay. If mounting rails are not required in your system, screw
the drive in place.
Slide the drive into the lower bay.

Mounting the Host Adapter
Install the host adapter in one of the available system expansion
slots of your computer. Refer to the operating instructions included
with the host adapter for complete instructions on installation and
settings.
Install the host adapter in
one of the expansion slots.
Closing the Computer
1 Replace the cover on the computer, being careful to reinstall all
screws that were removed.
2 Replace the AC power cord and turn on your computer.
16
Installing the Drive Unit into the Computer
Installing the Software Driver
MSCDEX and the device driver for an ordinary CD-ROM drive can
be used when using the CRX100E as a CD-ROM drive.
Use the device driver for a CD-R/RW drive when using the
CRX100E as a recordable or rewritable drive.
Be sure to install the device driver before operating the drive. Refer
to the manual supplied with the host adapter for instructions.
Using Discs
Storing Discs
• Do not store the disc in a location subject to:
–high humidity
–high temperature
–excessive dust
–direct sunlight
Care of Discs
• Hold the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Wipe the CD-ROM disc with the optional CD cleaner to clean it.
• Do not wipe a CD-R disc and CD-RW disc with a cleaner before
recording data. To avoid scratching the recording surface, blow
away dust using an air blower.
• Data cannot be recorded if the recording surface is contaminated.

Operating the Drive
This section describes how to start the drive and eject a disc.
Starting the Drive
1 Turn on the power of your computer.
2 Press the eject button.
The tray comes out automatically.
3 Place a disc in the tray with its label side up.
Operating the Drive
18
Note:
When the drive is set up in vertical position, use the disc locks to
prevent your disc from falling. See “How to Use the Disc Locks” on
page 21 for details.
Disc locks
4 Gently push the tray or press the eject button to close the tray.
The drive may begin reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data
when it accepts the disc. The busy indicator lights up in amber
while the drive is reading the TOC.
When the busy indicator lights out, the drive is ready to receive
commands, and data may be retrieved from the disc.
After loading the CD-R or CD-RW disc, it takes a moment for
the drive to become ready while the Program Memory Area is
read.
For subsequent drive operations, follow the instructions provided
with the application software you are using.
Note:
The busy indicator stays lit in amber if:
– the disc is not properly placed on the loading tray
– a malfunction occurs.
In either case, eject the disc and place it in the loading tray again
making sure that it sits properly in the tray. If doing this does not
solve the problem and the busy indicator still remains lit in amber,
consult your dealer or qualified service personnel.
The busy indicator also lights amber during audio play. However,
this is not a malfunction.
Caution: Do not forcibly close the disc drawer. Applying excessive
force may damage the loading mechanism. The tray’s mechanism is
designed to operate with a “feather touch”.
Operating the Drive
19
Ejecting the Disc
To eject the disc, press the eject button on the front panel. The tray
comes out automatically.
Note:
The eject button does not work if it is disabled by the software you
are using.
■ Opening the tray manually in an emergency
You can open the tray manually when it fails to come out by means
of the eject button or software commands. To do this, follow the
procedure below:
1 Turn off the power of your computer.
2 Insert a pointed object, such as a paper clip, into the emergency
eject hole and push.
Approx. 40 mm
After removing a disc from the drive unit, consult your dealer or
qualified service personnel.

How to Use the Disc Locks
The disc tray has four disc locks that prevent the disc from falling
when the drive is set up in vertical position.
Disc locks
Note:
When the drive is used in horizontal position, you do not need to
lock the disc.
■ Locking and unlocking
All of the four locks are set in the unlocked position (facing
outward) when the drive is shipped from the factory. To set the lock
in the locked position, turn it with your fingers until you hear a click
so that it faces inward.
