General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property
damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the IBM
Support Center. Use only an IBM authorized service provider who is approved to
repair your particular product.
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are
referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. IBM expressly identifies CRUs
as such, and provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for
customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow all instructions when
performing such replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and
that the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the
replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IBM Support
Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can
stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can
present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your
cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with
liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the cord or power
adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of
the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can
eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that
all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or
shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere
on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs
of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been
damaged in any way.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2004
vii
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and
power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the
product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load should
not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and
input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer
equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer
to obtain a replacement.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a
grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature
by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into
the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter or to replace the
outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet.
The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power
loads and branch circuit ratings.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible,
and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that
will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully
Batteries
All IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide
power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as Thinkpad
notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide system power when in
portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with your product have been
tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with IBM approved parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate
batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or
other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to instructions
included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause
gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is
damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of
foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a
replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some
rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused
in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit, which could
viii IBM USB 2.0 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive: User’s Guide
shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do not let
rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a
discharged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.
Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size.
Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of
your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when
the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during normal
operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially,
a skin burn.
v Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or
in explosive environments.
v Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety,
comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently become
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surface.
Never block, cover or disable these features.
CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or
otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even
shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to this
situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:
v Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
v Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat
sources
v Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
v Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their
packaging
v Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or
damaged discs

Installing WinDVD and viewing a DVD movie
To install WinDVD, go to the ″Software″ section of the IBM USB 2.0
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive Software and User’s Guide Super CD.
After you install the Combo Drive and WinDVD software, you can view a DVD
movie. But first you need to set the DVD region code for your DVD content.
DVD region codes
DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into
six regions and specific content can be viewed only in the appropriate region. For
example, content for Region 1 can be viewed only in the U.S. and Canada.
WinDVD is also region–specific.
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol
on the back of the content packaging.
Region code

U.S., Canada
Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea
Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
Former Soviet Union, North Africa, India
People’s Republic of China
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region
code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region code
from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed
and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content only from
that region.
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the
WinDVD user interface. The General tab contains this information.
To change the region code, do the following:
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.
2. Click Start.
3. Select Programs.
4. Click Intervideo WinDVD.
5. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.
6. Click the General Properties tab.
7. Insert a single region DVD of the new region.
8. Select the correct region code for your country.
9. Click OK.
Chapter 7. Using the Combo Drive 7-5
Starting WinDVD
To start WinDVD, complete the following procedure:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Programs.
3. Click InterVideo WinDVD.

Notes:
1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality audio and
video playback obtainable with the available system resources. You can alter
the default settings by changing the video resolution setting within the Control
Panel. Some systems do not have enough resources to provide full-quality
audio and video playback at all resolution settings. If you experience poor
playback performance, adjust the resolution to a lower setting.
2. Audio or video streams are decoded by software. The audio and video
subsystems need to be fully functional and enabled.
Using the CD-R and CD-RW function
The Combo Drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-R discs cannot be
erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM drives and CD players.
You can use CD-R discs to record audio tracks, store data, archive files, and copy
files from another CD.
CD-RW discs can be erased and rewritten, but can be used only with newer MR-
and CD-RW-compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. You can use CD-RW
discs to back up, store, and update files or to copy files from another CD.
Notes:
1. CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are not playable on
most audio CD players.
2. The software included with this drive does not enable the drive CD-recording
capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.x, or IBM OS/2® operating systems.

Backing up a CD
To copy a commercial CD you must own the copyright or obtain permission from
the copyright owner. If you do not own the copyright or do not obtain permission
from the copyright owner, you might be violating copyright law and might be
subject to payment of damages or other remedies. For more information on
copyright law, consult your legal advisor.
Problem solving
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The
information in this section might be useful to help you solve problems or to gather
helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to
refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter publications.
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your
situation.
You cannot create a multi session disc.
Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing a
session requires lead-in and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data
that is recorded.
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Take the following actions:
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus
program, an Internet or e-mail program, or other software. Disable the
functions that might interrupt the write operation.
2. Verify that the hard disk has been defragmented.
3. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive
is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation.
4. Replace the disc if it is bad or scratched.
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and
CD-RW drives.
You cannot eject a disc.
Take the following actions after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of
writing to a disc:
1. Eject the disc through software.
2. Use the Eject button.
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try
using the Eject button again.
4. If other methods do not work, use the emergency eject lever. For more
information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing to use the Combo Drive,” on page 4-1.
You cannot read from the CD disc after successfully writing to it.
Take the following actions:
Chapter 7. Using the Combo Drive 7-7
1. If you can read the CD disc in another CD player or you can see previous
sessions, the directory information might be damaged on the volume, making it
unreadable. To get ideas for troubleshooting, check the documentation that
comes with the software.
2. You might have a damaged CD-R or CD-RW disc. Try a new disc or another
brand of CD disc.
3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the writing drive, but not in another MR
drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed in the computer.
4. Avoid writing at the slower 1X speed unless required by your computer.

Appendix C. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-08
04/2004
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2 replace or
modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited
Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term
″Machine″ means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or
accessories, or any combination of them. The term ″Machine″ does not include any software
programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise.
Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of
consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and
2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications (″Specifications″) which are
available on request. The warranty period for the Machine starts on the original Date of
Installation and is specified in Part 3 - Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or
sales receipt is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to
IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the
removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country
or region in which you purchased the Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v
any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine, or
installed subsequently;
v
failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any Machine
capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in writing), accident,
modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by you;
v
v
failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and
any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide with
or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the
Machine or its parts.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2004
C-1
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and
installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact
IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register the Machine
with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your
entitlement to warranty service.
What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact IBM for service, you must follow the problem determination
and resolution procedures that IBM specifies. An initial diagnosis of your problem
can be made either by a technician over the telephone or electronically by access to
an IBM website.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code
(microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs,
device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine ) and other
software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic media,
and following the instructions that IBM provides.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) (e.g.,
keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), IBM will ship the CRU to
you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and
your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your
application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or your
reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at its
discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it with one
that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either, you may
return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes that
apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes
yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the
warranty service status of the replaced item.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to:
C-2 IBM USB 2.0 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive: User’s Guide
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal
Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow
IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on your behalf any remaining
Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers necessary to fulfill its
obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include
shipping the Machine for such processing to other IBM service locations around
the world), and (c) ensure that such processing complies with any laws
applicable to such Personal Data.
Limitation of Liability
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1) in
IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to
IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine
prior to its return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable
laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,
12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For
purposes of this item, the term ″Machine″ includes Machine Code and Licensed
Internal Code (″LIC″).
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for
which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS
LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR
POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS
OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4)
LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED
SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
Appendix C. IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-08 04/2004 C-3
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Governing Law
Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which
you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM’s
rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the
subject matter of this Statement of Limited Warranty, without regard to conflict of
law principles.
THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY
ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR
