PowerBook G4 CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive 1

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MCE Internal CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive for the PowerBook G4! We are sure that your new drive will enrich your PowerBook computing experience.

Please be sure to read the manual thoroughly before using your new device..

Getting Started

Under Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x the combo drive is recognized by the Apple CD/ DVD Driver software extension. If you were previously using an Apple CD- ROM or DVD expansion bay drive and have the Apple CD/DVD Driver extension enabled, then you may begin to use the combo drive immediately to read pre-recorded audio or data CD's (or DVD video discs for those with DVD/ CD-RW combo drives).

To write to a CD-R or CD-RW disc you’ll need to use a CD recording program such as the Roxio Toast or Apple’s disc burning utilities (iTunes and Disc Burner).

To play DVD video discs with the combo drive you may use the Apple DVD Player application that is included with the Mac OS. If your PowerBook does not automatically launch the Apple DVD Player application upon insertion of a DVD movie into the Xcarét Pro Combo Drive, you may launch it manually either by selecting it from the Apple menu, if it is present there, or by double clicking it’s icon located on your hard drive (usually in the Applications folder).

Using the Combo Drive

Gently push the CD disc into the combo drive’s slot until the disc is pulled in by the drive’s grabbing mechanism.

To eject the CD tray when a CD disc is present and mounted on the PowerBook's Desktop, simply highlight the disc’s icon and either:

1)Under Mac OS 8.6-9.x, simultaneously press the Command and Y keys on the PowerBook’s keyboard (or under Mac OS X, simultaneously press Command and E);

2)Drag the icon of the CD onto the Trash icon
