Installation Notes • The SD-R6572M DVD Rewriteable drive has no jumpers that need to be set • Mounting orientation: 15° (horizontally), 15° vertically (volume control in down position), 30° (drive with volume control in up position). • When mounting drive use 4 M2-PO.4 tapping holes located on the left and right sides of drive. • When mounting drive, the tightening torque of the four screws must be even. Recommended screw tightening torque is 2N • For clearance around the front bezel, it is recommended that a clearance of more than 0.8mm should be left in all directions. Software Driver Toshiba's SD-R6572M drive does not require any unique device drivers for Windows '98/2000/XP/NT. After installing your drive and re-booting, your system should recognize your drive. Win '98/2000/XP/NT Operating Systems support all Toshiba's ATAPI drives natively. If you prefer using DOS, download the ATAPI driver from our web site. USING THE DVD REWRITEABLE DRIVE – SD-R6572M Drive Operation Inserting Media To insert media perform the following steps: 1. Figure 1.Inserting Disc 1. Open the drive's loading tray by pressing the Eject Button and pulling out the tray. 2. Place media disc into drive's loading tray, and lightly press down on the inner portion of the disc. 3.

Usage Guidelines • Keep the disc tray closed when not using the DVD Rewriteable drive • Do not press down on the disc tray when opening or closing it. • Do not place objects on the disc tray • Never use a damaged, broken, or deformed disc • Do not press the Eject button while the drive is accessing a disc Emergency Ejection CAUTION: The following procedure is intended only as a last resort when pressing the eject button fails to open the Loading Tray. 1.

Cleaning Media Try to avoid touching the read area (underside) of the disc as dirt and smears will degrade the disc accessing speed. If the disc becomes dirty wipe it with a damp soft cloth. Avoid cleaning in a circular motion, but rather from the inner side outward. NOTE: High-speed drives spin the disc at a high rotational speed. If a disc has printing on only half of the disc, or if there is a slight imbalance in the disc, the imbalance is greatly magnified by the high speed, causing the drive to vibrate or produce a fan-like noise. These effects are inherent in the high-speed technology and do not indicate a problem with the drive.
