Setup Procedures

Connections

Before connecting the CRW8824IX drive and the computer as described below, make sure that you have installed appropriate CD writing software (P. 3, 4). If you newly install the CD writing software, first disconnect all IEEE1394 devices from your computer. After properly installing the software, you are ready to connect the devices. For information about how to install the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

If your computer has no built-in IEEE1394 port, you will first need to install an IEEE1394 interface card (purchased separately). For information about how to install the card, refer to the documentation that came with it.

1Make sure that the computer is turned on.
