Connecting the PortaDVD

This section explains how to connect the PortaDVD to an IBM PC or

compatible portable computer that utilizes

PCMCIA

card technology.

The procedure begins by connecting the appropriate cables to the Por-

taDVD. Please read the following instructions thoroughly; the installa-

tion procedure varies depending on the operating system you are using.

3. Connect the

PCMCIA

cable plug to the interface connector on the

side panel of the PortaDVD (Figure 3).

4. Do not insert the

PCMCIA

card into the computer at this time.

With Windows 98/Me/2000, the PortaDVD enables you to perform

a “hot swap” installation while the computer is powered on. You

will insert the card for the first time later as part of the software

installation procedure.

5. Connect the AC adapter cable to the AC power input on the drive

(Figure 3).

Figure 3. Connecting Cables

The PortaDVD outputs a line-level audio signal from the headphone jack.

You can connect a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug to the headphone jack (see

Figure 3 on page 6) to enjoy digital audio.
