Solving Recording Problems  
Caution with errors  
If you have any problems recording via your CD-R/RW drive,  
follow the appropriate instructions below for the source that you are using.  
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.  
Hard Drive  
It is recommended to set a CD-R or CD-RW drive as follows.  
1
2
3
Do not work on a multi-tasking environment and remove screen savers.  
1
Check whether the source file is corrupted.  
If you work on a multi-tasking environment while the CD-RW drive  
is recording/deleting data, Buffer Under-Run may occur.  
2 Optimize the hard disk by using the Windows defragmenter feature:  
START / PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / SYSTEM TOOLS / DISC DEFRAGMENTER  
Do not allow any external access to the Host PC while recording data.  
3 Decompress the hard disk if it is compressed.  
If another user accesses your printer through a network while you are  
recording data, errors may occur.  
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.  
Remove the Auto-Run function of the CD.  
5 If you wish to record more than 1000 small files:  
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.  
First create an image file and copy the image file to the disc.  
Choose the low record speed  
Compress small files and then record them  
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]  
Network Drive  
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 Justlink function is often run, the recording quality  
may become low.  
1
Copy the network drive contents to the hard disk and then from the hard disk  
to the CD-R/RW drive.  
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.  
CD-ROM Drive  
1
Clean the source CD, if necessary.  
5
6
Use an E-IDE cable, which has the specified length (46cm).  
Using E-IDE cables longer than 46cm may cause errors during data transaction.  
2
3
Create an image file and then copy the image file to the CD-R/RW drive.  
Check the CD-ROM drive record speed.  
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.  
There are two recording methods :  
Low-speed (file by file)  
Make sure you use the recording software CD (Nero Burning Rom /  
Roxio Easy CD Creator) provided by us.  
High-speed (transfer of an image file from the hard disk)  
Using our software program with others may cause errors in recording.  
4
If the transfer speed of the CD-ROM drive is slower than the record speed,  
reduce the record speed.  
Not compatible with Windows 95 in case of Roxio Software.

Change the IDE cable and reconnect it to the  
computer.  
Preferably, connect a second IDE cable to the  
CD-R/RW drive in master mode.  
After installing the CD-R/RW  
drive, the PC gets slower.  
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.  
The CD-R/RW drive is not  
recognized by MS-DOS.  
This case may occur when there is a Windows  
installation problem; reinstall Windows.  
The CD-R/RW drive is not  
detected by Windows.  
Term Description  
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.  
No sound is heard from an  
audio CD.  
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.  
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.  
What is Auto-Run?  
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file  
of the CD automatically.  
What is Justlink?  
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.  
If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media  
Player of Windows ME/XP, the earphone does not  
appear in the Digital Mode.  
You can avoid Buffer Under-Run problems by applying the above-mentioned  
principle.  
Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it,  
if necessary.  
A CD is not read or is read  
too slowly.  
Check that the power cable is correctly connected.  
The disc compartment will  
not open.  
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.
