Don’ts: 

· 

Do not connect or disconnect any 

USB device while the EZDVD+RW 

is transferring information – data 

loss will result! To prevent any data 

loss, stop the EZDVD+RW before 

disconnecting the interface cable from 

the computer or EZDVD+RW.

· 

Do not use any USB cables with 

your EZDVD+RW other than 

Amacom® cables. Never use a 

USB extension cable with your USB 

EZDVD+RW - data loss may result!

Do not connect more than two USB devices to a single computer. (More than two USB devices will 

significantly reduce performance).

NOTE:  If the amber activity light is blinking, the EZDVD+RW is transferring data. Wait to connect or 

disconnect any other USB device until the activity light stops blinking.

FireWire Guidelines®
Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal and reliable performance of your Amacom® EZDVD+RW drive.

Do’s:

· 

You can connect and disconnect your 

Firewire® cable while your computer is 

on if you are using a Mac® or running 

Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP. 

(To prevent any data loss, stop the 

EZDVD+RW before disconnecting the 

interface cable from the computer or 

EZDVD+RW).

NOTE: PC users must stop the 

Firewire® cable by using the icon in the 

system tray. Mac® users should select 

the EZDVD+RW and drag the disk onto 

the wastebasket icon.

You can optimise your Firewire® 

EZDVD+RW drives performance by 

disconnecting other Firewire® devices 

when using your Firewire® EZDVD+RW. 

The performance of all Firewire® devices 

decreases as additional Firewire® devices 

are connected.

· 

You can ensure maximum 

performance by connecting your 

EZDVD+RW Firewire® cable 

directly to one of the Firewire® 

connections on your computer 

instead of to other Firewire® 

devices.

          You can use the EZDVD+RW 

Firewire® cable with SBP-

2 compliant controllers. The 

EZDVD+RW is designed to work 

on SBP-2 compliant controllers 

as a bus-powered device. 

Contact the manufacturer of your 

computer if you do not know the 

type of Firewire® controller in your 

computer.
