Power Cable - Connect an internal computer power supply cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD Rewriteable drive. One side of the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only one way. Push plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits correctly.

Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable. Toshiba's DVD Rewriteable drives use a standard 4-pin audio cable that can be purchased from most local computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your sound card at one end and the other end connects to the digital audio connector at the left rear of the DVD Rewriteable drive (see DVD Rewriteable drive Back Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions that came with your sound card for details on any sound- driver software required.
