Connecting an Internal CD-ROM Drive to Videum
You can connect Videum AV to the audio out port of an
internal CD-ROM drive, allowing you to use the Videum board
as a sound card.
Connect your CD-ROM drive in one of the following ways:
1. If your CD-ROM drive is already connected to a sound card,
connect the audio out of the sound card to the AUX or
audio in connector of the Videum AV board.
2. To connect an internal CD-ROM drive to Videum AV once
your computer is open, follow these steps:
•
Inside your computer, locate the 4- or 5-pin connector and
cable attached to the audio out port of the CD-ROM drive.
Refer to the documentation that came with your CD-ROM drive or
computer. Most manufacturers provide a cable that is already
attached to this connector and stored within the computer. If the
cable is not there, you can purchase it from your local electronics
store.
•
Connect the cable to the CD audio connector on the
Videum board.
•
You can use either a 3-, 4-, or 5-pin connector because pins
1, 3, and 5 are connected to ground.
