extremely low temperatures. This may result in a system failure, 

malfunction or loss of data.

Never subject your product to sudden temperature variations

n

Never subject your product to sudden temperature variations. This may 

result in condensation, causing a system failure, malfunction or loss of 

data.

Never operate your product during a thunderstorm

n

n

Do not insert a pin into the emergency eject hole while the drive is in 

operation.

n

Do not use cracked, distorted or damaged discs, especially discs with a 

crack on the inner tracks, which may break while in use.

n

Do not disconnect the power cord while the drive is working. This may 

result in an operational error. 

n

Do not put any heavy objects on the drive.

n

alcohol or benzene on the drive.

n

Always make sure that the disc does not have a crack before use. If the 

disc has a crack (especially around the center hole), we recommend 

making a copy immediately and use the copy instead. When a cracked 

disc is used continuously, the size of the crack is likely to grow, 

eventually, resulting in irreparable damage to the disc.

How to Use DVD±R/RW and Other Discs

The External SuperMulti Drive allows writing DVD±R/RW discs using 

Burn Now in Windows XP/Vista. The CD we provide does not include any 

data writing application for Linux OS. We recommend that you use 

“Brasero” for data writing in Linux. TOSHIBA cannot guarantee this 

software. You can download it from the following website: 

http://projects.gnome.org/brasero.

You can use the External SuperMulti Drive to playback music CDs, CD-

ROM, CD-R/RW, or DVD-ROM discs, like a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-

ROM drive. If your computer recognizes the [CD-ROM] icon designated to 

the External SuperMulti Drive as the ‘E:’ drive, insert a CD-ROM or a 

DVD-ROM disc and access the ‘E:’ drive. 

If you want to use this product to play a commercial DVD-Video title 

(“DVD title’)

n

Most of DVD titles on the market use the Dolby sound system.

You are required to install software that supports Dolby decoding on 

your PC before you can play a DVD title using the drive purchased.

Unauthorized copying of DVDs or software titles is illegal 

and the individuals that make illegal copies will be held 

responsible for any copyright infringement. 

Using low-quality discs may lengthen the recording time 

or may not be supported due to reduction in double 

speed. 

DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC) 

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-

video discs (such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has 

divided the world into different regions or zones that correspond to the 

regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases 

movies. Simply put, RPC codes are placed on movies marketed 

throughout the world, based on the region of the world in which they are 

being sold. These RPC codes help control and prevent pirating of new 

movies into other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates 

within those markets.

The External SuperMulti Drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 

mode, the local code can be changed by users. RPC-2 is selected by 

default for the External SuperMulti Drive.

You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG 

application.

Please contact your dealer or local TOSHIBA representative if you wish 

to change the local code more than five times.

object (about 15mm) such as a 

straightened paper clip into the emergency 

eject hole to open.

The PC is not working 

properly.

See if the drive is properly connected to the 

PC.

See if the floppy disc remains in the PC.

The drive is not 

working properly.

See if the drive is connected properly to the

Caution: Possible Error

External SuperMulti Drive record data on the disc by applying laser light 

onto the surface of the disc, and therefore writing errors may occur if you 

use a damaged disc, for example. Be sure to eliminate the following error-

causing elements before you start writing: 

* The following settings are recommended for all External SuperMulti 

Drive: 

1. Avoid a situation that requires multitasking, and remove turn off 

the screen saver. 

A buffer underrun may occur if the system multitasks while the External 

SuperMulti Drive is writing/erasing. 

2.

Block any outside attempt to access the host PC during a writing 

session. 

An error may occur if another user accesses the printer connected to 

his/her the system via the network during a writing session. 

3.

Disable the CD auto-run feature of the CD. 

Inserting an auto-run-enabled CD in to another drive connected to the 

same system during a writing/erasing session may cause an error. 

The system doesn’t 

read the disc.

See if the system detects the drive.

Make sure you use the types of discs that 

are supported by the drive.

See if the LED turns into orange.

Make sure you inserted the disc with the 

label facing up.

Make sure you are using the right program 

for disc playback.

See if the disc is clean.

See if any congealing has occurred.

Make sure the region code of the drive 

matches the disc number.

4.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you 

write a large number of small-sized files. 

When there are a large number of small-sized files to write, the 

system’s transfer rate drops and the Superlink feature works at a more 

frequent rate, resulting in lower writing quality. 

If you are doing a CD-to-CD write, it is not necessary to check to see if 

you have available space on your hard disc beforehand. 

However, in the case of image files, it is recommended that you be 

sure you have at least twice the amount of space on your hard disc 

needed for the data, as image files are copied to the hard disc before 

they are copied to the CD. 

5.

Do not use more than one type of writing software. 

Before you install a writing program, be sure to first uninstall existing 

versions of the program or other writing program(s) and reboot the 

system first. 

(The Windows operating system may be damaged if you install the 

Korean version while the English version remains on the system.) 

The write speed for a disc can be restricted if:

1. The disc has bad properties data and/or there are other discs with 

different properties available under the same ID. 

The drive’s write strategy is set in a way that allows the drive to 

examine the disc properties and determine the optimal write conditions 

for those properties. 

For example, many disc makers do not include property information 

distinguishing 48X discs from 32X discs. Since the two types of discs 

have the same data properties, while having different write speeds, it is 

often impossible to respond to the situation with a single write strategy. 

In order to ensure stable writing, it is necessary to downgrade the write 

speed. 

If discs from two different manufacturers are labeled as havings the 

same write speed, but actually have different write speeds, it is 

necessary to downgrade the write speed to ensure stable writing. 

Use only writing software provided by TOSHIBA. You may 

experience writing errors if you use with other writing 

programs.
