•CPU Requirements:

300MHz minimum

800MHz for capturing to hard disc

1.6GHz for capturing to DVD video

SETUP – SD-R5372

The following steps must be performed to properly install your drive:

•Set Drive Jumper Settings

•Connect Audio Cable

•Attach IDE BUS Cable

•Attach Power Cable

•Mount Drive

Jumper Settings

The mode select jumpers are 6 straight angle pins located on the rear of the DVD Rewriteable drive.

By placing a jumper on the pins, you can select the following functions:

Drive is configured using host interface signal CSEL

SL Configures drive as Slave

MA Configures drive as Master (default mode)

Figure 1.Mode Select Jumper

In most installations, jumper should remain in the MA position (factory default). It is recommended that

you install your DVD Rewriteable drive only on the secondary IDE BUS. If you are installing on primary

IDE BUS, your hard drive would then be the Master, and you should set your DVD Rewriteable drive to

the Slave position (SL)

Figure 2.Jumper Locations

Placing DVD Rewriteable Drive inside your Computer

Now that you have set the jumpers, you are ready to install your DVD Rewriteable drive inside your

computer.

Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.

Remove computer cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer systems manual for removal

information. If the DVD Rewriteable drive is replacing a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, remove drive presently

installed in your system.

Your Toshiba DVD Rewriteable drive can be placed in any free half-height drive slot at the front of your

computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)

Carefully start sliding the DVD Rewriteable drive into the opening with the disc tray facing the front of the

computer. Before you push the drive all the way in you will need to connect the IDE BUS cable, Audio

cable and the Power cable on the back of the drive.

Connecting Cables

IDE BUS Cable (not supplied with drive) - Your computer system should have a primary and secondary

IDE BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being the Master on the primary BUS. Connect BUS

cable as follows, assuring that pin 1 of cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1 of the DVD

Rewriteable drive's interface connector:

If you are replacing your CD-ROM or DVD:

connect DVD Rewriteable drive to the BUS Cable

connector that the CD-ROM or DVD was connected to.

If DVD Rewriteable drive is not replacing a CD-

ROM/DVD or is an addition to a CD-ROM/DVD:

connect DVD Rewriteable drive to an open connector on

the secondary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

If DVD Rewriteable drive is to be slave on Primary BUS:

connect DVD Rewriteable drive to open connector on

the primary IDE BUS cable (not supplied with drive).

Figure 3.Installing BUS Cable

Power Cable - Connect an internal computer power

supply cable to the power socket at the back of the DVD

Rewriteable drive. One side of the plug has chamfered

edges, so the power connector fits only one way. Push

plug completely into the socket making sure the plug fits

correctly.

Figure 4.Installing Power Cable

Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and

speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your

computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable.

Toshiba's DVD Rewriteable drives use a standard 4-pin

audio cable that can be purchased from most local

computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your

sound card at one end and the other end connects to

the digital audio connector at the left rear of the DVD

Rewriteable drive (see DVD Rewriteable drive Back

Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions that

came with your sound card for details on any sound-

driver software required.

Figure 5.Installing Audio Cable

Completing Installation

After you have connected all the necessary cables,

push the DVD Rewriteable drive completely into the

computers drive slot. Mount drive per your computers

instructions. The screw length should not exceed

30.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or

bottom of drive to tip of screw). Replace computer

cover and all outer screws.

Software Driver - Toshiba's optical drives do not require any unique device drivers for Windows

'95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT. After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your

drive. Windows '95/'98/2000/Me/XP/NT Operating Systems support all Toshiba optical drives natively If

you prefer using DOS, download the DOS ATAPI driver from our web site.

Other Software - Additional software is required to use the SD-R5372 CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW and DVD

Inserting a Disc - Vertically

To insert a disc in a drive that is mounted vertically, perform the following steps:

1. Locate sliding disc holders (4 locations) on drive's Loading Tray.

2. The vertical position of the drive (eject button up or down) determines which of these four sliding

disc holders are used (see photo below). Position the disc behind 3 of the disc holders, two on

bottom, and one on upper rear, closest to drive). Using all four holders may cause the disc to not

set properly in tray.

3. Slide the disc holders towards the center of tray using your finger, opened paper clip or the end

of the emergency eject tool. The holder in the upper front side should be pulled away from the

center of tray.

4. Position the disc behind disc holders on upper and rear side of tray. Then put disc behind bottom

front holder

Check to see that all three disc holders are holding disc securely.

Close the drive by gently pushing in the tray or pressing the eject button.
