Solving Technical Problems

Problem

Meaning / Solution

The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive is
not detected by the computer.

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-RW/DVD-ROM drive in master mode

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

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

- www.samsung-ODD.com
- www.samsungelectronics.com/odd

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

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

Check that the sound card is operational.

Adjust the volume control.

Install the latest version of the device driver.

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.

Adjust the size of the replay screen.

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

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

After installing the
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive,
the PC gets slower.

The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive is not

The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive is
