Installation
!Connect the audio cable between the CRW8424E drive and the computer’s sound card, or the motherboard’s audio connector if it has built-in audio. One end of the audio cable has two connectors: a vertically-mounted type (PH) and a horizontally-mounted type (MPC). Choose the one that matches your sound card’s connector. The connector at other end of the cable is connected to “AUDIO OUT” on the CRW8424E drive. Make sure the connector’s lug is at the top.

You do not need to connect the audio cable to write audio CDs since the audio is passed over the IDE bus. It is required to play¸ back audio CDs on the CRW8424E drive via the computer’s sound card. However, if a CD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, you should use this drive to play back your audio CDs. To listen to audio CDs without a computer sound card, connect headphones or speakers to the headphone jack on the CRW8424E drive’s front panel.
