Solving Recording Problems
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.
If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media Player of Windows ME,
the earphone does not appear in the Digital Mode.
If you have any problems recording via your CD-R/RW drive, follow the
appropriate instructions below for the source that you are using.
◆
Hard Drive
1 Check whether the source file is corrupted.
2 Optimize the hard disk by using the Windows defragmenter feature:
Storing and Cleaning Your Discs
To ensure a long service life for your discs and drive, follow the precautions below when storing and cleaning your discs.
1 Do not place a disc in direct sunlight.
2 Store a disc vertically in a well-ventilated and
stable location.
3 Do not write or attach a label on a disc.
START / PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / SYSTEM TOOLS / DISC DEFRAGMENTER
3 Decompress the hard disk if it is compressed.
4 Make sure that the space available on the hard disk is at least twice the size
of the largest file to be recorded on the disc.
5 If you wish to record more than 1000 small files:
First create an image file and copy the image file to the disc; refer to the
section entitled "CD Creation from CD Image" in the CD record utility
documentation
● Choose the low record speed
● Compress small files and then record them
●
4 Do not drop a disc or place heavy objects on it.

Network Drive
1 Copy the network drive contents to the hard disk and then from the hard disk
to the CD-R/RW drive.
◆
4 Close all application programs except writing software.
5 The CD-R/RW drive supports high-speed recording to High-speed CD-RW discs.
Discs above CD-RW 8X use different rewriting methods and can only be via the
CD-R/RW drive.
CD-ROM Drive
1 Clean the source CD, if necessary.
2 Create an image file and then copy the image file to the CD-R/RW drive.
Recommended Disc Types
3 Check the CD-ROM drive record speed.
There are two recording methods :
● Low-speed (file by file)
● High-speed (transfer of an image file from the hard disk)
4 If the transfer speed of the CD-ROM drive is slower than the record speed,
reduce the record speed.

Caution with errors
Term Description
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records data by applying recording laser onto a CD.
If the CD is damaged or recording data is not possible, you need to remove the
following causes of the error before using the CD.
It is recommended to set a CD-R or CD-RW drive as follows.
What is Buffer Under-Run?
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record
until the data flow ends. However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily,
this may cause errors in recording data.
What is Auto-Run?
1 Do not work on a multi-tasking environment and remove screen savers.
If you work on a multi-tasking environment while the CD-RW drive
is recording/deleting data, Buffer Under-Run may occur.
2 Do not allow any external access to the Host PC while recording data.
If another user accesses your printer through a network while you are
recording data, errors may occur.
3 Remove the Auto-Run function of the CD.
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file
of the CD automatically.
What is Super-Link?
This function is to check the buffer to see if there are data while recording.
If the buffer is empty, it waits at the address and then restarts recording after
the buffer is full.
You can avoid Buffer Under-Run problems by applying the above-mentioned
principle.
If you insert a CD that has the Auto-Run function to a drive connected to a
PC while recording/deleting data, this may cause errors.
How to cancel (select) the Auto-Run function
Cancel (Select) the Auto-Run function in [Start > Setting > Control Panel >
System > Device Manager > CD-ROM Setting]
4 Use image files when you record many small files.
If you use a lot of small size files for recording, this may reduce the transaction
rate of the PC. Although Super-Link function is often run, the recording quality
may become low.
If you copy a CD from another, you do not require making available space in the
hard disk. However, when you use image files, you need to copy them on the hard
disk first and then copy to a CD. In this case, you need to ensure maximum 700MB
of available space in the hard disk for reliable recording process.
5 Use an E-IDE cable, which has the specified length (46cm).
Using E-IDE cables longer than 46cm may cause errors during data transaction.
6 Use only one recording software program.
To install a software program for recording, uninstall any other types or versions
of recording software programs first and then reboot the computer.
Make sure you use the recording software CD (Nero Burning Rom /
Roxio Easy CD Creator) provided by us. Using our software program with
others may cause errors in recording.

IN CD has the Formatted
Disc Eject function.
After installing the CD-R/RW
drive, the PC gets slower.
◆ Check that the power, audio and E-IDE cables are
correctly connected to the computer.
◆ Change the E-IDE cable and reconnect it to the computer.
Preferably, connect a second E-IDE cable to the CDR/RW drive in master mode; see page 7 for further details.
◆ Check the position of the jumper in the master/slave
select terminal.
◆ Right-click the mouse on TRAY ICON (right side of the
menu bar at the bottom of the monitor) and then select
"Eject" to take the CD out.
◆ Select the drive where the disc is inserted from Windows
Explorer. Right-click the mouse and select "Eject" to take
the CD out.
The CD-R/RW drive is not
recognized by MS-DOS.
◆ Reinstall the device driver or update it with the latest
version by downloading it from the Samsung Web site.
When recording NERO,
it will be recorded not on a
CD but a form of image file.
The CD-R/RW drive is not
detected by Windows.
◆ This case may occur when there is a Windows
installation problem; reinstall Windows.
No sound is heard from an
audio CD.
◆ Check whether the audio cable is correctly connected
to the sound output terminal on the CD-R/RW drive and
the sound card CD-IN terminal.
◆ Check that the sound card is operational.
◆ Adjust the volume control.
◆ 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.
◆ If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media Player
of Windows ME/XP, the earphone does not appear in the
Digital Mode.
◆ This seems to occur when you select the recording
function as the system selects "Image Recorder" instead
of SW-232.
In this case, select a recorder from the menu items at
the upper part of NERO and then select SW-224 from
the Recorder Selection window.
◆ When installing the recording software, try not to install
the software before the ROM drive as this makes the
Image Recorder selected.
The Recorder cannot
recognize the disc.
◆ Use the firmware automatic upgrade function available
at the ODD service website to download the newest
firmware and then reinstall the recording software
which is included in the bundle.
- www.samsungodd.com
- www.samsungelectronics.com
The CD-R/RW drive is not
detected by the computer.
A CD is not read or is read too
slowly.
◆ Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it,
if necessary.
The disc compartment will not
open.
◆ Check that the power cable is correctly connected.
When the MPEG software plays
a Video CD, the pictures are not
regular and the running speed is
too slow.
◆ Adjust the size of the replay screen.
The Disc is not in message is
displayed even though a disc
has been inserted.
◆ 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 CD-R/RW drive is not
detected after it is connected to
a sound card.
◆ The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.
You must therefore connect the CD-R/RW drive to the
E-IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than to the
sound card, or install an E-IDE-compatible sound card.
◆ 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.
◆ After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if
necessary.
