SETUP – SD-R2412  
Toshiba recommends that only trained professionals install this CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive into  
your laptop/notebook.  
Installation Notes  
The SD-R2412 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive 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 2N  
For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm  
should be left in all directions.  
Software Driver  
Toshiba's SD-R2412 drive does not require any unique device drivers for Windows '98/2000/XP/NT.  
After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Win '98/2000/XP/NT  
Operating Systems support all Toshiba's ATAPI drives natively. If you prefer using DOS, download the  
ATAPI driver from our web site.

USING THE CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive – SD-R2412  
Drive Operation  
Inserting Media  
To insert media perform the following steps:  
Figure 1.Inserting Disc  
1. Open the drive's loading tray by pressing the Eject Button and pulling out the tray.  
2. Place media disc into drive's loading tray, and lightly press down on the inner portion of the disc.  
3. Gently close the disc tray.  
Removing Media  
To remove media disc from the drive, perform the following steps:  
1. Open the loading tray by pressing the Eject Button, and pulling tray out.  
2. Grasp disc by it's outer edge, and lift out of loading tray.  
3. Gently close the loading tray.  
Usage Guidelines  
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo 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.  
1. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.  
2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the  
picture below.  
3. Loading tray will open/eject.  
Figure 2.Using Emergency 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 – SD-R2412  
Problem  
Solution  
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 drive connected properly? Are all cables plugged in  
properly (e.g. Power Cable, Interface Cable and Audio Cables).  
Is the software driver loaded? On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the  
system is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive recognized?  
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid  
drivers selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.  
Has the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive 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 Combo drive software drivers not useable.  
Drive is not recognized by  
system during Boot process,  
but is recognized by the  
Operating System (i.e. XP,  
Win2000, Win98, Win NT, etc.)  
Is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive software driver loaded?  
On a step-by-step (F8) Boot of the system is the CD-RW/DVD-  
ROM Combo drive recognized?  
(BIOS / DOS reports "device driver not found" or "no valid DVD  
drivers selected."). If not, Contact Technical Support.  
Has the Windows CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive 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

in the drive or certain types of  
CD media (i.e. CD-plus, etc.)  
Is the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive 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 Combo drive software  
driver program been corrupted by a virus. Run a Virus Scan
