Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation

Troubleshooting IBM-PC DOS/WINDOWS Installation

If the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer does not respond after running through the Operations Check on page 3-7 of this Software Installation Guide, note any error messages that may appear in the Inquiry ID line on boot up.

Error messages and how to correct them are described on individual pages of this Appendix as indicated below. If you do need to call for Pioneer End-User CD-ROM Technical Support (See Appendix E for Pioneer Technical Resource Numbers), please be prepared to describe any error messages and the contents of the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in your system. This will help Pioneer Industrial Representatives solve your problem more quickly.
