TEAC FireWire CD-RW Drive User’s Manual
Connecting to Audio Equipment
The FireWire CD-RW drive outputs a line-level audio signal from the headphone
jack on the front panel. You can connect headphones or external powered-
speakers to the headphone jack, which accepts a 3.5mm stereo mini-plug.
Alternatively, if your computer contains a sound card that features audio output
jacks, you can connect the external powered-speakers to the audio connectors of
the computer.
Notes:
Windows 98SE and Mac Users: You can plug the FireWire cable into your
computer, or unplug it from the computer while the computer is running (this is
called a “hot plug”). However, do not unplug the cable from the drive while the
computer is running, or you may damage the drive or the computer.
Windows Me/2000 Professional Users: Before you disconnect the drive while
the computer is running, you need to disable the connection by clicking on the
Unplug
icon in the
Systray
(see Figure 6):
Figure 6. Unplug Icon
All Users: Before you disconnect the cable from the computer's FireWire port,
remove any inserted discs from the TEAC FireWire CD-RW drive.
Do not connect the FireWire drive while the computer is in sleep or suspend
mode, or while the CD-RW drive is transferring data.
Note: If you connect external powered-speakers to a sound card (on the rear
panel of the PC), the system disables the sound output from the headphone jack
on the front panel. In this case, connect the headphones to the headphone jack
on the speaker system (if available).
