2. is my pc suitable for use with a cd writer? in this section we would lik e to help you investigate whether your pc is suitable for recording cds . t his is not so much a question of the minimum hardw are requirements , but rather the configuration options on your pc which might prevent successful recording. t he following deserve a special mention: - installed dos drivers - installed busmaster drivers under windows 95/98 - inadvisable settings in your pc's bios system, and - concurrent installation of different recording softw are programs . 2.1 dos cd-rom or busmaster driver s installed dos drivers , allowing the recorder to be run at the genuine dos level (not windows dos box), and busmaster drivers for hard disk controllers under windows should not be instal - led. both types of drivers can prevent successful recording under windows 9x. w e therefore recommend removing both types of drivers , in the event that they have been installed. neither the dos driver nor the busmaster driver are automatically loaded by windows 95, and must therefore be installed manually by the user . y ou can deactiv ate the dos driver by inserting "rem" at the beginning of the respective line in the config.sys file (enter: device=c:\mtm\mtmcdai.sys ..., etc.) or in the autoexec.bat file (enter: c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe .., etc.). t he drivers will then no longer be installed when you reboot your pc. t o remove the busmaster driver you will need the setup routine on the disk ette that w as sup - plied with your motherboard. run the setup program and select driver remov al. f or more details , please consult your motherboard manual or the readme files on the driver disk ette . 2.2 bios settings w e recommend adjusting some of the settings in your pc bios system. normally the pio mode for atapi devices will automatically be recognized when you boot your pc. however , it is advis - able to set the pio mode permanently to option 3 in the setup program. t o do this you will have to run the pc setup program. t o access setup , press the del k ey or f1 when starting up your computer . consult your motherboard manual to find out where and how to change the setting.

2.3 inter action with other installed softwar e before you install t ogo , mak e sure that there is no other recording softw are installed, irrespec - tive of whether it is a cequadrat product (i.e ., older versions of t ogo or winoncd , but not spe - cific recording softw are such as justaudio) or another mak e . please remove any existing soft - w are first and reboot your computer before installing the current version of t ogo! 3. how to handle the r ecor der and the r ecor ding media t he degree of success you will have recording cds depends to a large extent on careful hand - ling of the recorder and the cdr media, as well as the source cds . please therefore read the following passages attentively . 3.1 how to handle the r ecor der do not drop or jog the drive . t he lens and prism are very sensitive and can be damaged if the device is wrongly handled. avoid all impacts or jolts , especially while the device is recording, otherwise you might lose not only the data that is just being recorded, but even previously recorded data. do not operate the cd writer anywhere near w ater or other fluids and k eep all fluids aw ay from the device . t o clean the drive exterior , use only a clean soft cloth. if necessary , dampen the cloth slightly , but remember: benzene or alcohol solutions may damage the sur - face . protect the device from dust or smok e: even with its dual dust protection, we cannot gua - rantee that the mitsumi cd writer will be impervious to long-term exposure to such conditions . at low temperatures or alternation between hot and cold environments , mak e sure that all condensation has dried out from the pc and the recorder and that the ambient temperature is within the permissible limits of 5 c and 40 c. never set down any object heavier than 100g (e .g., a coffee cup) on the cd tray , otherwise you may risk breaking it! t o get the best possible results , use only cds which bear the following logo: 3.2 how to handle the media use only high quality cd recordable disks from reputable manufacturers . t he cd-r disks must comply with the orange book p art ii standard. clean your cds regularly with a cloth dampened with w ater or cd cleaning fluid. wipe in a straight line from the center outw ards and never in circles , as an arc-shaped scratch could render your cd unreadable . mak e sure the cd is comple - tely dry before inserting it in the drive . alw ays handle cds by their edges . never write on either side of a disk with a hard object (e .g., ball-point pen or pencil). even a scratch on the label side can destroy data. if you absolutely must write on a cd , use only special mark er pens av ailable from your computer dealer . avoid using small labels because they will upset the balance of the cd , causing vibrations which will result in read and write errors . never expose the cd to direct sunlight or hot, humid environments . alw ays store your cds in their sleeves to prevent them becoming dusty , scratched or damaged in any w ay . (t hese are the most common causes of error messages and aborted cd recording operations!) never bend cds . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
4. recor der contr ols and indicator s 4.1 fr ont view f ront view 1. open/close button: brief pressure on this button will open and close the tray . 2. read/write monitoring led (labeled r/w): lights up green during reading and red during writing operations . active led (labeled disc) lights us when a cd is inserted, flashes at interv als of two seconds until a newly inserted cd is recognized and at interv als of 0.5 seconds while a cd is being ejected. 3. emergency eject: use only when the recorder is disconnected from the power supply . 4. v olume control for headphone output. 5. headphone jack: this will allow you to plug in headphones or active loudspeak ers using a commercially av ailable 3.5 mm pin connector . 6. cd tray: opens and closes when button 1 is pressed. a gentle tap against the open cd tray will also close it. C ? C ? C ? ? ?
4.2 emer gency eject emergency opening of cd tray under certain circumstances , the cd tray may jam. before doing anything else , switch the recorder off and unplug the power cord from the w all sock et. straighten out a large paper clip , as shown in the figure below . carefully insert the tip of the paper clip into the small hole indi - cated and gently push inw ards until the cd tray slides out. never attempt to do this with the power on, otherwise you may damage the recorder . 5. softwar e installation 5.1 intr oduction t he cequadrat recording softw are program winoncd provided, consists of a cd and a possibly included driver disk. when used together with mitsumi cd writers , it will allow you to record and copy data and audio cds , video discs and bootable cd's . it is very easy to install and handle , as briefly described below . in terms of installation and proper functioning the softw are mak es very little demands on your system. if you are using a windows 9x pc, the minimum requirements are p entium 75 with 16 mb ram, for windows nt 4.0 you will need 32 mb ram. f irst mak e sure you have no other recording softw are installed that might interfere with t ogo and vice versa, and correctly remo - ve it, if necessary . 5.2 installation when the winoncd cd is inserted, the softw are setup program will normally run automatical - ly . after a while , the following welcome window should appear . if it does not, run the program install.exe in the cd root directory . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
t o start the actual installation, press the next button in the window . if you choose cancel, the installation routine will be aborted, without any changes being made to the system. please read the product license agreement in the next window carefully and accept this with yes or reject it with no. if you press no, the installation will again be aborted. once you have accepted the agreement by pressing y es , you can select the directory to save the program files to by pressing browse or accept the default setting by pressing next. in the following window you will be ask ed to enter your name , company and the serial num - ber of the softw are . y ou will find the serial number on the cover of the cd . please k eep the cd cover in a safe place , since the serial number must be input whenever installation tak es place . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
y ou must enter something in all fields . in the name and company fields , this may be anything you lik e . when you press the next button, the program will ask you whether all entries have been correctly made . if you confirm this , and the serial number has been correctly input, instal - lation will start. if you enter the serial number incorrectly , you will have the opportunity to input the number correctly . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
y ou can select the components to be installed in the next window . after confirming the entry with the continue button, the copying process starts . when the data has been copied to your hard drive , you must state whether a driver disk w as enclosed with the cd writer . t his is only supplied, if an updated driver is issued after the softw are cd has been produced. C ? C ? C ? ? ?
if you have also selected the p ack et cd component, installation of p ack et cd will then begin. actuate the continue button and specify the storage location for p ack et cd in the next win - dow , then actuate continue again to start the copying process . when installation is comple - te , reboot your pc. in the next window , state whether the computer is to be rebooted imme - diately or later on. 5.3 uninstall t he softw are can be uninstalled using the softw are icon in the windows system control panel. C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6. getting started 6.1 intr oduction t his chapter is intended as a short guide to help you record and copy data or audio cds . t o mak e bootable or v ideo cds , the procedure is listed in the online help , respectively the soft - w are manual, which is located in the directory x:\manual\winoncd (with x:\ being the drive letter of you cd-rom/ cdrs or cdrws . w e assume that you will be familiar with the basic recording terminology . if this is not the case , please refer to the detailed manual on the softw are cd which you will find in several lan - guages in the above mentioned directory . t his is an ms winw ord document that can be viewed and printed with the viewer softw are provided. t o run winoncd , select st ar t -> programs -> cequ adra t -> winoncd . after you have started winoncd , the program will open with a window asking you to select the type of cd project you w ant to begin with. t he choice offered is data cd (iso/joliet f ormat), audio cd (cd digital audio), or the copy module (cd copy). once you have chosen a project type , you can press the following icon to run a utility program, a so-called wizard, which will explain the necessary steps for recording cds . please also read t ips & t ricks for recording, to avoid frequently made errors . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6.2 cd recor ding w izar d if you are not familiar with cd recording routines , we recommend using the winoncd wizard, a small utility , to record your first few cds . t o run this , click on the wizard icon in the tool bar or select start -> programs -> cequadrat -> winoncd wizard after you have started winoncd . t he utility will guide you step by step through the process for producing a data cd or an audio cd , and will show you how to use the cd copy module . use the wizard until you feel confident about going it alone! 6.3 data cd t he following example demonstrates how to record a data cd in iso 9660/joliet f ormat. t hink of your own data, and the process will immediately become clear! C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6.3.1 select a cd pr oject in iso 9660 / j oliet f ormat once you have selected the iso 9660 / joliet f ormat project option (data cd), which is nor - mally the default setting, the winoncd main window will open. t his consists of a source win - dow (upper section) and a target window (lower section). on the left side of the source window you will find a reference to the joliet f ormat (joliet file system). if this is not the case , click the option new in the f ile menu and select iso 9660 / joliet f ormat. 6.3.2 w inoncd main window as already mentioned, the main window consists of two sections . t he source window resem - bles windows explorer , with a drag&drop data allowing you to drag the data you wish to record into the target window . t o drag and drop directories , select from the left hand side of the source window , for single files , the right hand side , and drop the selected data in the right hand section of the target window . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
t he target window offers you four buttons: t r acks: shows how many tracks are already on the cd (for data cds , this will normally just be one). editor: gives you the opportunity to edit files and directories you w ant to record, i.e ., you can add files and directories from the source window or delete them in the target window . artwork: t his is a utility allowing you to create labels and inlays for your cds . f or more information, refer to the manual on the winoncd cd . cd: opens the window with cd properties , recording settings , and the record button. t he source window operates exactly lik e windows explorer . t he directory structure is shown on the left hand side , files and their attributes on the right hand side . practice opening and closing the directories to get a feel for how to handle the source window . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
if no directories or files have been selected for writing to the cd , the target window will show the empty root directory . simply drag a directory from the source window and drop it on the symbol for the root directory in the target window . t he selected directory will then appear in the target window . t he first directory you have selected will be written to the root of the cd and all subdirectories will be added. y ou can also add directories to any directory already contained in the target window . 6.3.3 writing to the cd when you have finished preparing the contents and the structure of the cd , press the cd but - ton to open the following window: at present, all you need to do is to mak e sure all the options are selected as shown in the win - dow . t his will ensure proper recording. in the t est write section of the window , you can sel - ect the simulate writing only option. t his will simulate the recording to allow you to test whether it would have been successful. before you press the record button, check that you have inserted an unused cd blank in the recorder . press the record button to start recording or testing. when this is completed, the system will return a message to report successful recor - ding. C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6.4 audio cd t he following example describes how to record an audio cd . many of the steps are similar to those required for a data cd and will therefore be skipped here . 6.4.1 select cd digital audio pr oject select the cd digital audio project option either on start-up of winoncd or by selecting new in the f ile menu. t his will open the main window for audio cds . please check that the target window is entitled cd digital audio. if not, then start the project again. 6.4.2 select audio files use the drag & drop function to select .wa v files from your hard disk or the tracks of an audio-cd , and drop these in the target window . it is not advisable to simultaneously record data from the hard disk as well as tracks from an audio cd , since this will probably result in buffer under runs , interrupted data flow to the recorder , and may render the cd blank unusable . if necessary , you can extract the cd tracks and save them as .wa v files on your hard disk. please remember that if you w ant to extract a complete audio cd (74 minutes playing time), you will need about 750 mb free space on your hard disk. y ou can extract files from a cd using winoncd or any other special programs . t he quality of the resulting .wa v files will largely depend on the quality of the source cd-rom (scratches , dirt) and that of the source cd-rom drive . not all drives are capable of extracting the audio tracks in sufficiently high quality . please consult your manual or the drive manufacturer . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6.4.3 recor ding the audio cd t he write process is initialized in the same w ay as for data cds . t he write process can also be simulated. t o ensure that the audio cd can be played by commercially av ailable cd players , the session has to be properly closed. 6.4.4 extr acting audio tr acks using w inoncd winoncd can be used to extract tracks from an audio cd and save them on the hard disk. t his is advisable when the source drive is slow in extracting audio data (audio data are extracted at considerably lower speeds than normal data), or if you w ant to record a best of ... selection from several different audio cds . insert an audio cd in a cd-rom drive (this may even be the recorder itself). f irst select cd digital audio and then open the preferences window in the options menu. in the preferences window , select the digital audio extraction index card and activ ate the option copy cd-d a source tracks ... . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
if you now add a track from an audio cd to your audio project, the system will first ask you to enter a name and path before writing the track to your hard disk. repeat this procedure to extract tracks from several different audio cds and then record them as a best of ... selec - tion. 6.5 cd copy t he copy module allows you to create a backup for virtually any cd . t o do this , lay the source cd in a cd-rom drive (not the recorder) and start a cd copy project. t he contents of the cd will then be extracted. in rare cases , winoncd may attempt to extract the data from the wrong drive . when this happens , drag the icon for the correct drive into the destination win - dow and the data will then be extracted from there . f or future cd copies , the program assu - mes that the source cd will be in the last selected source drive . please note the following: - the read drive should be fast enough, at least 8-speed. - if the source cds are dirty , scratched or faulty , frequent reading attempts will result in buffer underrun errors . t he actual recording process runs as described in the chapter on data cds . 6.6 p ack et cd if you have also installed the p ack et cd component during softw are installation, a window opens when a blank cd (cdr or cdrw), in which you must specify whether the blank is to be formatted in accordance with the udf standard or whether winoncd is to be started. if you decide to format the blank with p ack et cd , you must initially state whether you wish to format a cdr or a cdrw . please note that it tak es considerably longer to format a cdrw (up to 45 minutes). t he p ack et cd can then be used in the recorder just lik e any other remov able medium (lik e a floppy disk), i.e . you can record data on the cdr/cdrw using drag & drop , you can remove the p ack et cd and insert it again later on. prior to formatting, you can spe - cify whether the data to be copied on the p ack et cd is to be compressed on the fly (this option is not av ailable on all versions). it is thus possible to copy 1 gb of data onto a C ? C ? C ? ? ?
cdr/cdrw . since this compression is not supported by all manufacturers , we recommend that this option is only used, when the disk is not going to be used for an exchange of data. cds produced with p ack et cd , are readable primarily on a writer (with activ ated compression only in writers with p ack et cd v3.0 or higher). by finalizing, the cdr/cdrw can be read in every cd rom under windows 9x. t here is only one restriction, and that is if your cd rom is normally unable to read cdrws . if you w ant to finalize the cd , place the cdr/cdrw in the writer , select in windows explorer the drive of the writer , activ ate the context menu with a right mouse click, and from this then select f inalize cd. after finalizing, the udf cd can be read in every cd rom under windows 9x. C ? C ? C ? ? ?
6.7 cd rewritable (cdrw) by comparison to a normal blank cd (cdr), rewritable cds (cdrw) can be written to over and over again. when producing the cdrw there is no real difference to a cdr. y ou simply have the capability of deleting a cdr and thus writing on it again. please note that the dele - tion of a complete cdrw can tak e up to one hour , and that formatting with p ack et cd can tak e considerably longer . t o delete a cdrw . start erase cdrw in the recorder menu. in the subsequently appearing window , you must select from one popup menu, whether the to erase the complete cdrw (time consuming) or just the t able of contents t oc (fast erase), with subsequent selection of erase. f ast erase (only t oc): t his only involves erasure of the t able of contents t oc. f or winoncd , this cd then appears to be an empty disc, which can be overwritten. t he data is then only actually physically erased when they are overwritten. t he erase process only tak es a few seconds . C ? C ? C ? ? ?
erase complete cd: t he completely written sector of a cd is overwritten here , i.e . the data is physically erased. t he erase process can then tak e up to 40 minutes . please note: cdrw media, which are written with winoncd . can only be completely erased. t he iso file system does not permit the erasure of individual files . special softw are is needed for selective erasure , such as p ack et cd 2.0 or higher from cequadrat. 7. tips&t ricks for recor ding t he following notes can help you to avoid problems: - before recording, deactiv ate any screen savers you have running. - close all other applications . - use a high-speed hard disk (all new hard disks usually provide sufficiently high speed). - start scandisk to repair any disk errors . - defragment your hard disk. - disconnect your pc from any networks . all the above notes will help to avoid buffer underrun errors . in certain cases , the data flow to the recorder can be interrupted so often or slowed down until the recorder data buffer is empty and the cd blank thus becomes unusable . 8. support t he following sections contain advice on eliminating any problems you may encounter with your mitsumi device . 8.1 befor e you call t echnical support.... if you experience problems with your cd writer , please first carefully read through the support chapter . t he most frequently encountered problems are listed here . w e w ant you to be satisfied with your mitsumi writer and obviously w ant to help you resolve any problems quickly . however , there are certain things you need to do before calling us . if you can provide all the necessary information, our hotline staff will be able to solve most problems rapidly and efficiently . but, the hotline staff depend very much on your cooperation. y ou act as their eyes and ears by observing and describing what is happening while they try to solve your problem. t he information listed below will help our staff to identify the problem quick er . so , please do mak e a note of all error messages you have seen. collect the following information in readiness for your call: cd writer model (you will find this on the specification sheet). how is your recorder installed? ide or scsi, which ide port, on the main board or the sound board. what is the i/o address or irq , mak e and type of the scsi controller , number and type of any other devices connected to the scsi bus , how they are terminated, etc. t he driver version. y ou will find this on the label of the installation disk provided. t he version of your operating system (windows 95, nt , os/2). brand and model of your computer . processor type and speed, e .g., p entium ii 300. extracts from your a ut oexec.b a t and config .sy s .
