GUIDE TO OPERATION

This CD-ROM device driver software is compatible with MS-DOS version 3.1 or later. The installation diskette contains the software needed to install and operate the CD-ROM drive.

• INSTALL.EXE Auto installation software for CD-ROM drive setup.
• CDPLAY.EXE Utility for CD-Player which allows the user to play audio CD.
• ECSCDIDE.SYS CD-ROM device driver.
• README.WRI Window’s Write file for detailed information.

PREREQUISITE FOR INSTALLATION
For user with MS-DOS version under 6.0

1. Contact local proper representative to obtain a copy of MSCDEX.EXE file (version 2.22 or above).
2. Copy the MSCDEX.EXE file onto the DOS directory (ex: C:\DOS)

CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION

1. Insert the installation diskette in drive A or B.
2. Change the prompt to A:> or B:>.
3. Type INSTALL and press ENTER.
4. The following display will be shown.

MSCDEX.EXE is the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions utility. You must have this file if you are going to install the CD-ROM drive. If you do not have MSCDEX.EXE, please contact your local proper re-presentative to obtain a copy of MSCDEX.EXE file (version 2.22 or above).
Note: If your MS-DOS version is equal or above 6.0, this file will be in your DOS directory. If you have MSCDEXE.EXE in your hard disk now, please input the directory name which contains the file. Otherwise, please press F3 to exit.

Input the directory name which contains MSCDEX.EXE. Then the following display will be shown.

The uesr must choose a disk drive and directory for the device driver software. To choose your hard disk drive C and the directory name as shown below, simply press ENTER. Otherwise, type the desired drive and directory name, then press ENTER. The INSTALL program will copy all software except INSTALL.EXE into the directory.

Follow the instructions and complete the directory choice by pressing ENTER. At this point, the installationprocedure has been prepared and you will see the following display.

Do you want the INSTALL program to automatically modify the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXE.BAT files?

• If you select ‘Yes’, an extra command line
• DEVICE=C:\ECS\ECSCDIDE.SYS /D:ECSCD003 will be added to your CONFIG.SYS file.
• The INSTALL program will also add a new command line
• C:\ECS\MSCDEX /V /D:ECSCD003 /M:10 to your AUTOEXE.BAT file.
• If you select ‘NO’, no changes will be made. The user should perform a custom installation manually.

If you select YES then press ENTER, the INSTALL program will add an extra command line DEVICE=C:\ECS\ECSCDIDE.SYS /D:ECSCD003 to your CONFIG.SYS file and a new command line C:\ECS\MSCDEX /V /D:ECSCD003 /M:10 to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. After the modification procedure is completed, the final display below will be shown.

Do you want the INSTALL program to automatically modify the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXE.BAT files?

• If you select ‘Yes’, an extra command line
• DEVICE=C:\ECS\ECSCDIDE.SYS /D:ECSCD003 will be added to your CONFIG.SYS file.
• The INSTALL program will also add a new command line
• C:\ECS\MSCDEX /V /D:ECSCD003 /M:10 to your AUTOEXE.BAT file.
• If you select ‘NO’, no changes will be made. The user should perform a custom installation manually.

If, instead, you select NO, this display will be shown.

For manual installtion, please add this command line to your CONFIG.SYS file

• DEVICE=C:\ECS\ECSCDIDE.SYS /D:ECSCD003
• And also add this command line to your AUTOEXE.BAT file:
• C:\ECS\MSCDEX /V /D:ECSCD003 /M:10
• The /V and /M are the parameters of MSCDEX.EXE
• Please refer to the user’s manual for information on ways to customize your installation.
• Press ENTER to exit.

Press ENTER to exit. After this modification procedure, it is necessary to reboot your computer.
DEVICE DRIVER (ECSCDIDE.SYS) PARAMETER LIST
The device driver is installed with an entry in CONFIG.SYS. The syntax of this entry is:
DEVICE=ECSCDIDE.SYS[ /D:][ /P:] [ /I:<IRQ number>][ / W:16|32]

where the arguments are:

• /D: The character device names that will be used by MSCDEX.EXE to find and communicate with the device driver (default is “ECSCD003”).
• /P: The port address to be used to communicate with the card. If this parameter is omitted, the device  driver will scan port address automatically during initialize process.
• /I: The IRQ number to be used by the IDE card. If this parameter is omitted, the device driver will  set the IRQ number to default value according the port address. If the port address is 1F0h (primary IDE), the default IRQ number is 14. If the port address is 170h (secondary IDE), the derault IRQ number is 15.
• W:16|32 Select bus width as 16 or 32 bits. Default will auto detect IDE-Card ability.

MICROSOFT CD-ROM EXTENSIONS PARAMETERS
Microsoft CD-ROM Extension (MSCDEX.EXE) is an executable program for MS-DOS (version 3.1 or higher) that works in conjunction with the device driver to allow your computer to access CD-ROM discs in the CD-ROM drive as if they were MS-DOS formatted disks. This program is written by Microsoft and is specifically designed to work with the Microsoft designed operating system commonly called MS-DOS. Computers with MS-DOS ‘compatible’ operating systems may experience unpredictable results unless the operating system manufacturer provides an alternative to the MSCDEX program. The setup program automatically modifies the autoexec.bat file so that your computer can access the CD-ROM drive. However, there are some parameters that can be changed if you wish. This section explains the function of each parameter. Use a text editor, such as MS-DOS ‘EDLIN’ or ‘EDIT’, to modify the appropriate line in you

UTOEXEC.BAT file.

• The syntax of the MSCDEX.EXE entry in AUTOEXEC.BAT is :

• [drive:][path] MSCDEX.EXE /D:device name[/M:n][/E][/V] [/L:drive letter]

• Note : The actual MSCDEX.EXE command line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is not truncated and should be placed entirely on one line.

• [drive:] [path] MSCDEX.EXE

• Specifies the location (drive and directory) of the MSCDEX.EXE file. The default setting is the ECS directory of the boot drive.

• /D: device name
  Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive (8 characters maximum). This must be identical to the device name specified in the device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example : C:\ECS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ECSCD003

• [/M:n]

• Specifies the number of sector buffers for temporary storage of the most recent disc data. For example to specify four sector buffers you would use:

• C:\ECS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ECSCD003 /M:4

• The installation program will set this value to 10. The default value is 4.

• Note :The greater this value, the better the CD-ROM drive will perform. However, each buffer uses about 2k of memory and specifying too many buffers may slow down computer operation or interface with other programs which have large memory usage

• requirements. Using expanded memory (see the /E option in this section) or loading MSCDEX.EXE into high memory (refer to your MS-DOS User’s Manual or Memory Manager User’s Manual) may allow you to specify a larger number of buffers to enhance

• CD-ROM performance and operate programs with large memory usage requirements simultaneously.

• [/E]Instructs the computer to use expanded memory, if available. For example :

• C:\ECS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ECSCD003 /E

• Note:That you must first load an expanded memory driver before using this option. If no expanded memory driver is loaded, the following error message appears:

• Expanded memory not present or not usable

WINDOWS 95′ NT & OS2 WARP
Please refer to Windows 95, NT & OS2 WARP installation guide.
Note: During installation of OS2 operating stytem, please select “Non-listed IDE CD-ROM” to install the ATAPI IDE interface CD-ROM. Otherwise, the drive can’t be detected by the operating system.

MAINTAINENCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING

COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

If the CD-ROM drive does not operate properly, check to see:

1. Are both ends of all the cables securely attached? Are any of the cables frayed or damaged?
2. Is the disc inserted correctly? The label must be facing up.
3. If any other hardware add-on cards are installed in the computer, are they using the same address port as the CD- ROM drive? If so, there will be a hardware conflict which you can solve by reconfiguring the address port of the CD-ROM drive.

If no sound comes from the speakers:

1. Have the connections between the LINE OUT jacks and the input terminals of the amplifier and/or speakers been properly made?
2. Is power to the amplifier and/or speakers turned on?

If no sound comes form headphones

1. Are the headphones properly connected to the headphone jack? Is the headphone cord frayed or damaged?
2. Is the volume adjustment (on the front panel) set properly?
