Introduction
By installing the IDE CD-ROM drive into your IBM PC/AT or compatible
computer, you will enter the world of multimedia. 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 5¼" disk bay to install the
CD-ROM drive

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.
The Emergent Ejection Hole (optional)
On the left of the disc tray front panel, there is a tiny hole
used for emergency ejection. When your CD-ROM drive doesn't open at
all, use a drill to penetrate into this hole and pull the disc tray out.
*** MAKE SURE TO DO SO AFTER YOUR PC POWER IS TURNED OFF. ***
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 CD(s 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
BTCCDROM.SYS
During installation, a line is added to your CONFIG.SYS that loads
the BTCCDROM.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:\BTCCDROM\BTCCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V
The entry follows the format:
device=[drive:\][path\]btccdrom.sys /d:device_name [/DMA | /UDMA] [/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:\btccdrom
BTCCDROM.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
/DMA Enable PCI Bus Master DMA Mode
/UDMA Enable PCI Bus Master Ultra DMA Mode
/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 AUTOEEXEC.BAT that loads
the MSCDEX.EXE driver. This driver is loaded each time you start up
your PC. The entry in your AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS will be :
C:\BTCCDROM\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:\btccdrom
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 BTCCDROM.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.

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.
