this appliance to rain or moisture.
2. Always check each disc forcracks before using it. If there are
cracks on the surfaces, especially around the border of the cen-

immediately and then stop using it. If you continue using the
disc, it will probably develop more cracks and eventually cause
irreparable damage.
3. Do not use poorquality discs:
● From unknown sources

DVD-ROM drive
1. Power cable
2. Master/slave select terminal
3. IDE cable
4. Audio cable
1Connecting the power cable
The 4-pin power cable from the internal power unit of your computer must be
connected to the power terminal on the rear of the DVD-ROM drive.
2Installing a jumper on the master/slave select terminal
Install the jumper in the correct position on the terminal:
MA to use the device in the master mode
SL to use the device in the slave mode
CS to control the device via a CSEL host interface signal
See Step 3 for further details.
3Connecting the IDE cable
Two configurations are possible.
●The DVD-ROM drive is the only IDE device in addition to the hard disk.
4Connecting the audio cable from a sound card
Connect the 4-pin audio cable between the sound output terminal on the DVD-
ROM drive and the audio input terminal on the sound card.
Install the jumper in the SL position (Slave).
Connect the 40-pin flat IDE cable from the IDE port
on the mother board, first to the DVD-ROM drive
and then to the hard disk.

device name is displayed.
The SAMSUNG device driver enables discs in the DVD-ROM drive to be read but
not recorded in an MS-DOS environment; the driver is located in the D driver folder
on the CD record utility disc.
DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):
The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video
discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the
world into different regions or zones that correspond to the regional markets
into which the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC codes
are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of
the world in which they are being sold. These RPC codes help control and pre-
vent pirating of new movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true
release dates within those markets.
The SD-616 DVD-ROM drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode,
the local code can be changed by users. RPC-2 is selected by default
for the SD-616 DVD-ROM drive. You can change the region code up to
five times via an MPEG application.
Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you
wish to change the local code more than five times.
To play audio or video CDs in your DVD-ROM drive, proceed as follows.
1Push the power button and boot the computer.
2After booting the computer, open the disc
compartment by pressing the Eject button.
3Insert the disc (CD/DVD) with the label on the
disc facing upwards and close the disc
compartment by pressing the Eject button.
The indicator light comes on.
4 Play the disc (CD/DVD).
1Do not place a disc in direct sunlight.
2Store a disc vertically in a well-ventilated and
stable location.
3Do not write or attach a label on a disc.
4Do not drop a disc or place heavy objects on it.
5Do not touch the surface of a disc; hold it by
the edges.
6To clean a disc, polish lightly from the inside
of the disc to the outside with a soft cotton cloth.
7Do not leave the disc compartment open
when you are not using it.
Playing Audio CDs
Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your sound card. You can listen to
the CD by connecting headphones to the appropriate connector. If you have
installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player, you can
adjust the volume using the headphone volume control on the drive front panel.
Playing Video CDs
Set up and run the SOFT MPEG program.
To ensure a long service life for your discs and drive, follow the precautions
below when storing and cleaning your discs.
Problem
Meaning / Solution
The DVD-ROM drive is not
detected by the computer.
◆ Check that the power, audio and IDE cables are correct-
ly connected to the computer.
◆ Change the IDE cable and reconnect it to the computer.
Preferably, connect a second IDE cable to the DVD-ROM
drive in master mode; see page 7 for further details.
◆ 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.samsungodd.com
- www.samsungelectronics.com
◆ This case may occur when there is a Windows instal-
lation 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 whether the CD is of good quality and clean it,
if necessary.
◆ 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 DVD-ROM
drive, the PC gets slower.
The DVD-ROM drive is not
recognized by MS-DOS.
The DVD-ROM drive is not
detected by Windows.
No sound is heard from an
audio CD.
A CD is not read or is read
too slowly.
The disc compartment will not
open.
When the MPEG software plays a
Video CD, the pictures are not regu-
lar and the running speed is too slow.
The
Disc is not in message is
displayed even though a disc
has been inserted.
The DVD-ROM drive is not
detected after it is connected
to a sound card.

*In case of the PC without UDMA, it may have a different DVD data transmission rate.
*This product has been set at the UDMA mode. It may cause trouble due to
the compatibility of a specific board or system. In this case, download the latest
version of “Firmware” which supports the DMA Mode.
Using the DMA mode may slightly decrease the efficiency of DVD-ROM.
