Troubleshooting

 

 

Problem

Meaning / Solution

The CD-ROM drive is not 
detected by the computer. 
 
After installing the CD-ROM 
drive, the PC gets slower. 

Check that the power, audio and IDE cables are correctly connected 
to the computer.

Change the IDE cable and reconnect it to the computer. 
Preferably, connect a second IDE cable to the CD-ROM drive in 
master mode.

Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave select terminal.

The CD-ROM drive is not 
recognized by MS-DOS.

Reinstall the device driver or update it with the latest version by 
downloading it from the Samsung Web site.

The CD-ROM drive is not 
detected by Windows.

This case may occur when there is a Windows installation problem; 
reinstall Windows.

No sound is heard from an 
audio CD.

Check whether the audio cable is correctly connected to the sound 
output terminal on the CD-ROM drive and the sound card CD-IN 
terminal.

Check that the sound card is operational.

Adjust the volume control.

Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your sound card. 
You can listen to the CD by connecting headphones to the 
appropriate connector. 
If you have installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft 
Windows Media Player, you can adjust the volume using the 
headphone volume control on the drive front panel.

If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media Player of Windows 
ME/XP, the earphone does not appear in the Digital Mode.

A CD is not read or is read 
too slowly.

Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it, if necessary.

The disc compartment will 
not open.

Check that the power cable is correctly connected.

Power off and disconnect the PC. 
Insert a pin or unfolded paper clip in the emergency hole and push 
firmly until the disc compartment opens.

When the MPEG software 
plays a Video CD, the pictures 
are not regular and the running 
speed is too slow.

Adjust the size of the replay screen.

After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if necessary.

The Disc is not in message is 
displayed even though a disc 
has been inserted.

The computer may not recognize the disc if you start playback too 
quickly after inserting the disc. Open and close the disc 
compartment and try again.

Clean the disc and try again.

The CD-ROM drive is not 
detected after it is connected to 
a sound card.

The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS. 
You must therefore connect the CD-ROM drive to the IDE port on 
the PC mother board, rather than to the sound card, or install an IDE 
compatible sound card.
