BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES
The PCMCIA CD-ROM is designed for both multimedia applications and
for entertainment purposes; it can be used with your computer for
business or you can use it alone as a portable Audio CD player.
Before using the PCMCIA CD-ROM, you should first load the CD
properly by following the instructions below:
1. Push the Open/Close/Stop button at the CD-ROM drive front panel.
The tray will automatically slide out.
2. Place the CD on the tray with the label side facing up.
3. Push the Open/Close/Stop button again. The tray will automatically
load.
3. After a few seconds, the “Power LED” should illuminate when the
spindle reaches its desired speed. The CD-ROM is ready to use.
While operating the PCMCIA CD-ROM, the speed of your computer’s
CPU and display card will dominate the overall performance, especially
when playing full motion video. Slow display speed often causes “still
frames”. In our testing, some computers are capable of performing as
high as 15 frames/sec; however, some can only achieve 2 frames/sec.
NOTE: To play the sound portion of the Multimedia CD Titles, your
computer must be equipped with a sound card.
You can play Audio Only CDs directly by pressing the Play/Skip button
or by using CD Audio software utilities, such as the Media Player in
Windows 3.1.
If your computer has been loaded with ExCA compliant PCMCIA
software, you are allowed to hot insert/remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM;
that means you can connect/remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM at any time
without rebooting your system. Remember, however, if your system
doesn’t have the software, you must connect the PCMCIA CD-ROM first
before your computer is booted, and whenever you remove the PCMCIA
CD-ROM and need to use it again. You must enable the PCMCIA CD-
ROM by typing
EXPCDI /E
at the DOS prompt.
