Using the DMA mode may slightly decrease the efficiency of DVD-ROM.

Installing the DVD-ROM Drive

To install your DVD-ROM drive in the PC, proceed as follows.

1 Make sure that the PC is powered off and disconnected from any power source.

2 If necessary, attach a horizontal bracket to both sides of the drive.

Installing the Device Driver

No additional device driver is needed for Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/NT, as the default Windows device driver is used. You can check that the DVD-ROM drive has been correctly detected by Windows. To do so, proceed as follows.

1 Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.

2 Double-click on the Control Panel folder.

3 Double-click on the System icon.

4 Click on the Device Manager tab.

5 Expand the CD-ROMbranch.

The SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD - *** device name is displayed.

The SAMSUNG device driver enables discs in the DVD-ROM drive to be read but not recorded in an MS-DOS environment; the driver is located in the D driver folder on the CD record utility disc.

DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions or zones that correspond to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC codes are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of the world in which they are being sold. These RPC codes help control and pre- vent pirating of new movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.

The SD-816 DVD-ROM drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, the local code can be changed by users. RPC-2 is selected by default for the SD-816 DVD-ROM drive. You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.

Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you wish to change the local code more than five times.

Using the DVD-ROM Drive

To play audio or video CDs in your DVD-ROM drive, proceed as follows.

1 Push the power button and boot the computer.

2 After booting the computer, open the disc compartment by pressing the Eject button.

3 Insert the disc (CD/DVD) with the label on the disc facing upwards and close the disc compartment by pressing the Eject button.

The indicator light comes on.

4 Play the disc (CD/DVD).

Playing Audio CDs

Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your sound card. You can listen to the CD by connecting headphones to the appropriate connector. If you have installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player, you can adjust the volume using the headphone volume control on the drive front panel.

Playing Video CDs

Set up and run the SOFT MPEG program.

Storing and Cleaning Your Discs

To ensure a long service life for your discs and drive, follow the precautions below when storing and cleaning your discs.

1 Do not place a disc in direct sunlight.

2 Store a disc vertically in a well-ventilated and stable location.

3 Do not write or attach a label on a disc.

4 Do not drop a disc or place heavy objects on it.

5 Do not touch the surface of a disc; hold it by the edges.

6 To clean a disc, polish lightly from the inside

of the disc to the outside with a soft cotton cloth.

7 Do not leave the disc compartment open when you are not using it.
