supports before you purchase a CD-ROM disc that includes compressed audio.

What should I do if the CD-ROM Changer always inserts the first or the same disc, no matter which disc the software has been instructed to use?

The software package was probably written to work with a single CD-ROM Drive. Try placing the disc in the first slot and then reinstall the application. Contact the software manufacturer to see if a version of the software exists that supports multiple subunits.

If you are using an ASPI compatible host adapter, the ASPI Manager may require an /L: or /ET: statement to enable access to multiple logical units. Refer to the documentation accompanying the host adapter or contact the host adapater manufacturer..

What should I do if the BUSY light flashes at one second

intervals and the drive does not respond to commands?

This is a visual indicator from the drive that something is affecting the CD-ROM Changer’s ability to perform. It may be a mechanical problem. Or, the drive may be in Test Mode. Make sure the switch for Test Mode is DOWN/OFF. For almost all DOS applications, only the terminator switch (SW #2) on the DRM-602X should be up. All others on the DRM-602X and all switches on the DRM-604X should be down.

What should I do if the Magazine will not eject from the unit?

There are two possible causes of this symptom. One is that the software has locked the magazine into the machine and will not let the user eject the disk. The other is that the user has set the last dip switch UP/ON so it has disabled the eject switch on the front panel. In either case, to remove the magazine, make sure that the last dip switch is DOWN. Then turn the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer OFF and back ON. This should allow the front panel eject button to work.

NOTE: If the magazine still does not eject, call End-User CD-ROM Technical Support. See Appendix F for Pioneer Technical Resource Numbers.
