Operating your VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive
Power Sources
The drive does not have an ON/OFF switch. The drive is ready for operation
when it is connected to the computer via the FireWire cable. If you are connecting
the VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive to a CardBus Card, you must also connect it to
an AC Adapter (Model #ACFWS, available from www.vsttech.com).
IMPORTANT
:
If you daisy chain more than two bus-powered FireWire devices
on a single Macintosh FireWire port, there may not be enough
power available from your Macintosh to power-up another drive.
In this case, you must power additional FireWire devices using
the optional VST FireWire drive AC adapter (VST Part # ACFWS)
which is available from VST.
Listening to audio CD’s on your VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive
You can listen to audio CDs on your VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive. A line output
jack on the side of the VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive is used only with older Mac
and PC operating systems that do not support digital audio. If you own a computer
with an older operating system, you may have to connect a pair of amplified
speakers to this jack.
Ejecting CD’s
The VST FireWire CD-R/RW Drive must be powered on for normal CD insertion
and removal. Push the eject button on the front of the device. If you need to
eject a CD when the drive is not powered on, unlock the drawer by carefully
inserting a straightened paper clip into the emergency disk eject hole (see
diagram on page 11). When pulling out the paper clip, the tray is unlocked and
can be fully opened by hand.
Note
: For Mac users: To eject the CD, drag the CD icon to the trash.
