ITEM SW-232

Problem

When the MPEG software

plays a Video CD, the

pictures are not regular and

the running speed is too slow.

Adjust the size of the replay screen.

The Disc is not in message is

displayed even though a disc

has been inserted.

The computer may not recognize the disc if you
start playback too quickly after inserting the disc.
Open and close the disc compartment and try again.

The CD-R/RW drive is not

detected after it is connected

to a sound card.

The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.
You must therefore connect the CD-R/RW drive to
the IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than
to the sound card, or install an E-IDE compatible
sound card.
Clean the disc and try again.
After checking the display resolution, adjust it,
if necessary.

Meaning / Solution

IN CD has the Formatted

Disc Eject function.

Right-click the mouse on TRAY ICON (right side of
the menu bar at the bottom of the monitor) and then
select "Eject" to take the CD out.
Select the drive where the disc is inserted from
Windows Explorer.
Right-click the mouse and select "Eject" to take
the CD out.

When recording NERO,

it will be recorded not on a

CD but a form of image file.

This seems to occur when you select the recording
function as the system selects "Image Recorder"
instead of SW-232.
In this case, select a recorder from the menu items
at the upper part of NERO and then select SW-232
from the Recorder Selection window.

The Recorder cannot

recognize the disc.

Use the firmware automatic upgrade function
available at the ODD service website to download
the newest firmware and then reinstall the recording
software which is included in the bundle.

When installing the recording software, try not to
install the software before the ROM drive as this
makes the Image Recorder selected.
