Introduction
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Pioneer CD-ROM Changer! The
unit is packaged with floppy disks that contain device drivers necessary for
connecting the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer to an IBM-PC or compatible computer
or to a Macintosh computer. The device drivers allow the CD-ROM Changer and
the computer to communicate and exchange data. On the next page is a SET UP &
DRIVER INSTALLATION OVERVIEW describing the steps to follow as you
install the device driver software and begin using your Changer.
Before you proceed, make sure you have fully reviewed the Hardware Installation
Owner’s Guide that is included with your Pioneer CD-ROM Changer. The
Hardware Installation Owner’s Guide provides safety precautions, system
requirements, hardware installation procedures, and other pertinent information.
Also, carefully review the instructions in this manual prior to installing the software
device drivers. Here is a synopsis of what you will find in each chapter.
Chapter 1 provides the Introduction to this Manual, a synopsis of subsequent chapters,
and a Set Up & Driver Installation Overview.
Chapter 2 provides Pre-Installation Notes. This section recommends that you back-up
the driver diskettes. It also explains conventions used in the manual and provides some
tips for IBM-PC and Compatible computer users: Make sure your SCSI host adapter
(interface card) supports Multiple LUNs; Refer to Context-Sensitive ON-LINE Help
during installation of drivers under DOS or Windows; Selection methods.
Chapter 3 provides an IBM-PC and Compatibles Driver Diskette Inspection Checklist;

Introduction
Chapter 1
Set-Up & Driver Installation Overview
1) Install a SCSI host adapter (interface card) in the IBM PC or compatible
computer, as per instructions from interface card Manufacturer and in Hardware
Install Owner’s Guide. NOTE: The Macintosh has a built in SCSI port.
2) With the power turned OFF on both the computer and the CD-ROM
Changer, attach the proper SCSI cable, connecting the two machines.
3) Set the SCSI ID number on the CD-ROM Changer. When it is the only
device attached to an IBM or compatible computer, the factory-set SCSI ID at
0 should work just fine. Otherwise, set the SCSI ID to a number that is not
used by any other device on the SCSI bus. NOTE: The Pioneer Installer for
IBM-PC and compatibles will automatically search the SCSI bus and indicate
the proper SCSI ID number, unless you over-ride this feature. See Chapter 3,
page 3-14 for details. When connecting the Pioneer CD-ROM changer to a
Macintosh, select a SCSI ID number between 1 & 6.
5) Power-ON the computer and back-up the driver diskettes included with the
Pioneer CD-ROM Changer.
4) Power-ON the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer.
6) Launch the Installer program included on the driver diskette. This will
offer you a few simple options, then install the drivers. See Chapters 3 & 4
for details.
8) Reboot your computer. Follow the “Operations Check” for IBM-PC and
compatibles or for Macintosh. If you encounter any difficulties, refer to
Troubleshooting Appendices at the back of this manual.
9) You are ready to use your Pioneer CD-ROM Changer. See page 3-9 for
IBM-PC and compatibles, see pages 4-6 and 4-7 for Macintosh.

Pre-Installation Notes
Back Up Diskettes
The license agreement that is enclosed with your Pioneer product allows you to
make a backup of the driver diskettes, in case your originals become lost, damaged
or corrupted. We strongly recommend that you take this precautionary step before
you proceed with the installation of your software device drivers.
Your DOS operating system comes with a utility such as a [DISKCOPY] and/or
[COPY] command which you can use to make a duplicate disk. Follow the
instructions in your DOS manual. If you have a Macintosh, simply copy the files
to a back up floppy. Once the files have been backed up, it’s a good idea to date
and label the disk.
IBM-PC & Compatible Users, Check SCSI Host Adapter
Make sure the SCSI host adapter (interface card) you are using supports multiple
LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers). A Logical Unit Number is an address
assignment which allocates a separate drive letter to each of the 6 CD-ROM discs.
Example:
Floppy Drives
Hard Drive
=
=
=
Drive Letters A and B
Drive Letter C
CD-ROM Discs
Letters D,E,F,G,H, & I
Most SCSI host adapters do support multiple LUNs, but we recommend you
check the card’s documentation or call the manufacturer to verify that your
interface card will meet this requirement.

Installing More Than One Pioneer CD-ROM Drive
Installing Two Pioneer CD-ROM Changers on one SCSI Chain
Two Pioneer Changers can be installed on one SCSI chain by using the Pioneer
device drivers for IBM-PCs and compatibles that ship with the unit. Use a
Centronic 50 Pin SCSI cable to connect the two drives. Make sure the drive in the
middle of the chain is not terminated and the last drive is terminated. Assign each
drive it’s own specific SCSI ID number. Then select CUSTOM INSTALL and
indicate the SCSI ID numbers of each drive and the number of discs to be
accessed by each drive.
You can also enter the SCSI ID numbers of the two units into the Pioneer Device
Driver line in the CONFIG.SYS with the /S: switch as indicated in the example
below. Also, the /N: switch must be placed into this line to indicate the number
of discs (1-6) to access in each unit.

IBM DOS / WINDOWS Driver Installation
Installing Three Pioneer CD-ROM Changers on one SCSI Chain
Three or more Changers can be installed on one SCSI chain by editing the Pioneer
Device Driver line in the CONFIG.SYS to add an /S: switch and an /N: switch.
The /S: switch indicates the SCSI ID number of each Changer installed on the
SCSI chain. The /N: switch indicates the number of discs in each specific
Changer. See example below:
DEVICE= C:\DEV\DRD600.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N: 1,3,6,6 /S:0,1,2,3 /C:CDP
In the Changer with ID 0, one disc, represented by single drive letter, is accessible;
In the Changer with ID 1, three discs, represented by three drive letters are accessible;
In the Changer with ID 2, six discs, represented by six drive letters are accessible;
In the Changer with ID 3, six discs, represented by six drive letters are accessible.
NOTE: For the example above, drive letters d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s will be used.
Total number of drive letters within the system cannot exceed 24. If you decide to
assign an individual drive letter to all six discs within each changer, you will be
limited to three units on one SCSI Chain. To access all six discs in up to seven
Pioneer CD-ROM Changers, use the XDISC utility, described below.
Use a Centronic 50 Pin SCSI cable to connect the third drive to the second drive on the
SCSI Chain, and so forth. Terminate the last changer on the SCSI chain and do not
terminate those in the middle of the chain. See Hardware Installation Guide for more
information about daisy chaining Pioneer CD-ROM Changers. Assign each Changer
on the SCSI chain its own specific SCSI ID.
Using XDisc to Assign Single Drive Letters to Each Changer
A special utility, XDISC.EXE, is included on the Pioneer Driver Diskette. If you edit
the CONFIG.SYS file and then launch XDISC one drive letter will be assigned for
each Pioneer CD-ROM Changer installed on the SCSI Chain. NOTE: Although
XDISC can designate up to 8 separate drive letters, a maximum of seven units can be
installed on the SCSI bus.
First, edit the CONFIG.SYS Pioneer Device Driver line so it includes an /S: switch
indicating the SCSI ID numbers of each drive installed, and an /N: switch, set to 0 for
each drive you want to install. See example below:
DEVICE= C:\DEV\DRD600.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N: 0,0,0,0 /S:0,1,2,3 /C:CDP

Using XDisc (cont.)
Then, activate XDISC by typing C:\PIONEER\XDISC. Once XDISC is launched,
type XDISC (space) E (space) 3 to access the third disc in the changer assigned
drive letter “E”. NOTE: Drive letters are assigned the next available letter after the
hard drive, floppy drives, etc. NOTE: Do not set 0 and other numbers together as
/N: settings. To use XDISC the /N: switch must be set to all 0s.
Multi Player Control (MPC) Program
MPC for DOS
The Multi Player Control v 1.2 is a memory resident “audio” remote control program
for the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer. Multi Player Control operates the Pioneer CD-
ROM Changer as a CD Player during execution of most programs on a PC. Multi
Player Control consists of one file to make it resident in memory and another program
to remove it from memory. Use MPC.COM to install Multi Player Control Program
and use MPCRMV.COM to remove it from memory.
Install it by typing C:\ Pioneer\MPC.COM. Once it is installed you can bring it up
with the <ALT+ HYPHEN> keys at any time. From within this program you can
select the disc, track number, instruct the unit to play, pause, or eject the disc, and
you can turn the volume up or down. Use the arrow key to select functions, and press
the space key or enter key to execute a selected function. Use the <ESC> key to
close the MPC window. Type C:\ Pioneer\MPCRMV.COM to remove the
program.
You can also send direct commands to the player from within MPC. Select the
Command function to make the command window pop up. Then type a specific
mnemonic command string such as TR3SEPL <CR> Carriage Return. This will
search to TRACK 3, and PLAY. Or send the command 1KL <CR> to turn Key Lock
ON and disable the eject button on the front of the player. Or send 0KL <CR> to turn
Key Lock OFF. The player will send back an “R” indicating it received and executed
the command. See Appendix D for a complete list of CDP commands to control the
CD-ROM Changer.

Special Issues
Special Issues
for IBM-PC & Compatible Users
These are some special issues that may be encountered with IBM-PC &
compatible computers when connecting a Pioneer CD-ROM Changer:
Third Party Device Drivers
A number of third party device drivers are available for different operating systems.
Please refer to Pioneer Product Information Bulletin #25. This document is also
available on the Pioneer LaserFacts System by ordering document number 34 024
and 34 025. See Appendix E for information about the Pioneer LaserFacts System.
Also, see Appendix F for Pioneer Technical Resource Numbers.
Networking
Using a Pioneer CD-ROM Changer as a network resource may require third party
software. A list of several companies and their software products has been
compiled as a resource. It is available as Pioneer Product Information Bulletin
#25. This document is also available on the Pioneer LaserFacts System by
ordering document number 34 024 and 34 025. See Appendix E for information
about the Pioneer LaserFacts System. See Appendix F for Pioneer Technical
Resource Numbers.
Maximizing Performance
• Setting High memory; Buffer Sizes
On the first installation, simplify the process by not using high memory or cache
buffers. This will help you get the system up and running faster. Once the system
is running smoothly, feel free to experiment with loading into high memory and
conserving DOS operating space. To use High Memory, use the /E switch in the
device driver line in the CONFIG.SYS and for the MSCDEX device line in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
You can also set MSCDEX buffers to different sizes by using the /M: switch in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Each number in the /M switch represents 2KB of memory.
MSCDEX automatically allocates 8 KB into memory per disc. So using the /M
switch is redundant and uses extra memory. With the /E: switch on, it will allocate
this into EMS memory.

About AUDIO on CD-ROMs
There are three types of Audio that you will find on CD-ROM discs:
• CD-DA Compact Disc Digital Audio (Conforms to the Red Book Standard)
• Compressed Audio (ADPCM, Adaptive Pulse Code Modulation).
Conforms to the Yellow Book Standard and is found on CD-ROM discs.
• Compressed Audio (ADPCM) that is interleaved with computer data and
found on CD-ROM XA discs.
Compact Disc Digital Audio is high quality audio you’re probably familiar with
on audio compact discs (CDs). This audio is output through the RCA jacks on the
back of the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer. Cables from these RCA jacks can be
connected to an amplifier and speakers or to powered speakers. You can also
hear the audio through headphones connected to the headphone jack on the front
of the unit.
Compressed Audio found on most CD-ROMs requires that a Sound Card be
installed in the computer. The drive transfers the compressed audio data to the
host computer for decompression and conversion through the sound card. The
sound card processes the audio through the computer and outputs the audio
through jacks to an amplifier and speakers or to powered speakers.
Check with the publisher or distributor of the CD ROM product to determine if it
uses CD-DA or compressed audio. Remember if the CD-ROM product outputs
compressed audio, you will need a sound card in your computer to hear the audio.
Kodak Photo CDs - Single Session/ Multi-Session
Pioneer CD-ROM Changers are Kodak Photo-CD compatible and can read
multi-session Kodak Photo-CDs. Multi-session Photo-CDs are those where sets
of photographs are encoded onto the disc at different times. Single-session
Photo-CDs have only one set of photos on the disc, encoded at one time. A
program that will open Photo-CD files for viewing is also required, such as
Kodak Viewer, Aldus PhotoShop, QUICKTIME for the Macintosh, or Microsoft
Video for Windows.

Special Issues
Using CD Player (CDP) commands to control the drive
After installing the proper device driver, the /C:CDP switch should be found in the
Device line of the CONFIG.SYS. When this switch is present, CD Player
commands can be sent the player either from the DOS Prompt or by using the
MPC utility as described in Chapter 3 for IBM-PC and compatible computers.
For example, when sending commands from the DOS prompt:
C:\>ECHO 1KL >CDP <CR> Turns on the Key Lock (disables eject button).
C:\>ECHO 0KL >CDP <CR> Turns off the Key Lock (enables eject button).
See Appendix D for a list of CDP Commands. These commands can be used after
the ECHO statement in the lines described above.

Questions and Answers
Questions and Answers
Here are some common questions asked about Pioneer CD-ROM Changers.
Can I use my Pioneer CD-ROM Changer on a network?
There are many third party drivers available for networking a Pioneer CD-ROM
Changer. Order Pioneer LaserFacts System document number 34 024 and 34 025.
See Appendix E for more information on the Pioneer LaserFacts System.
What if there is no sound audible?
The disc is probably outputting Compressed Audio. This data needs to be
transferred from the unit to the host computer for decompression and conversion
to audio. Make sure you have a sound card installed to handle these tasks. If you
do have a sound card installed and are still unable to hear compressed audio,
check with the sound card manufacturer or disc publisher.
If the audio is CD-DA (Compact Disc-Digital Audio) the audio light on the front
panel of the unit will appear. The audio will be output through the headphone
jack on the front of the unit, or through the jacks on the back of the unit to an
amplifier and speakers or to powered speakers. To test that these connections
have all been made properly, insert a compact audio disc (CD) into the first tray,
make sure the drivers are properly installed, then use MPC for the PC or CLD
Remote for the Macintosh to play the CD in the Changer.
Will a combination sound card/SCSI interface card work with
Pioneer CD-ROM Changers?
A sound card with a SCSI interface included will work fine with Pioneer drives,
as long as the SCSI card is ASPI compliant and supports multiple LUNS (Logical
Unit Numbers). Install the ASPI Manager that ships with the card, then install
ASPI compatible drivers suich as Pioneer DRD60ASP.SYS. If possible, make
sure the card is comapatible with a 50 pin Centronics SCSI connector. Otherwise,
you may need an adapter to enable connecting the 50 pin Centronics SCSI cable
to the external port of the card.
Can I use the Pioneer CD-ROM Changers with a sound card?
You can use the Pioneer units with any sound card as long as the card is supported

Questions and Answers
Chapter 6
supports before you purchase a CD-ROM disc that includes compressed audio.
What should I do if the CD-ROM Changer always inserts the first
or the same disc, no matter which disc the software has been
instructed to use?
The software package was probably written to work with a single CD-ROM
Drive. Try placing the disc in the first slot and then reinstall the application.
Contact the software manufacturer to see if a version of the software exists that
supports multiple subunits.
If you are using an ASPI compatible host adapter, the ASPI Manager may require
an /L: or /ET: statement to enable access to multiple logical units. Refer to the
documentation accompanying the host adapter or contact the host adapater
manufacturer..
Wha t should I d o if the BUSY lig ht fla she s a t one se c ond
inte rva ls and the drive does not respond to commands?
This is a visual indicator from the drive that something is affecting the CD-ROM
Changer’s ability to perform. It may be a mechanical problem. Or, the drive may
be in Test Mode. Make sure the switch for Test Mode is DOWN/OFF. For almost
all DOS applications, only the terminator switch (SW #2) on the DRM-602X
should be up. All others on the DRM-602X and all switches on the DRM-604X
should be down.
What should I do if the Magazine will not eject from the unit?
There are two possible causes of this symptom. One is that the software has
locked the magazine into the machine and will not let the user eject the disk. The
other is that the user has set the last dip switch UP/ON so it has disabled the eject
switch on the front panel. In either case, to remove the magazine, make sure that
the last dip switch is DOWN. Then turn the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer OFF and
back ON. This should allow the front panel eject button to work.
NOTE: If the magazine still does not eject, call End-User CD-ROM Technical
Support. See Appendix F for Pioneer Technical Resource Numbers.

Troubleshooting Macintosh Driver Installation
Troublshooting Macintosh Driver Installation
If you have trouble using the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer after you have
installed the drivers, please check these points:
1. Check SCSI ID number
Remember, the SCSI ID number must be any number between 1 and 6 not already
being used by any other device currently on the SCSI chain. Do not use 0 or 7.
2. Check for INIT Conflicts
Make sure the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer is connected to the computer and
powered ON, with a magazine inserted and with discs placed in the magzine trays
label side down. If your system crashes on boot-up, or if the CLD Access icon
has an X through it at boot up, you most likely have an INIT conflict. Remove
all other INITs from the System Folder and reboot. Or, if you are running under
System 7.0 or above, disable all extensions, by using Extention Manager.
If the system fully boots with only the Pioneer Macintosh driver INITs loaded,
you know you have a conflict. Try loading the Pioneer drivers first. This can be
done by adding a period in front of the INIT names, since INITS load in
alphabetical order. If this does not allow a successful boot, you may have a
conflict that can only be resolved by not using some other INITs. Add INITs
back in one-by-one, rebooting after each to see which one may conflict with the
Pioneer Mac driver INITs. There are several utility programs on the market that
can help you manage INIT loading.
3. If you are installing new Pioneer-MAC drivers into a System
where older drivers were previously loaded
Please remove all old Pioneer-MAC drivers before installing new ones. While
most of the files will be overwritten, this may not always be the case. It is best to
remove the old drivers before installing the new ones.

DOS/WINDOWS Device Driver & MSCDEX File
Installation Overview for IBM-PC & Compatibles
Device Driver & MSCDEX File
The INSTALL program adds a line to the CONFIG. SYS File which tells the
system to load the device driver that is correct for the SCSI host adapter installed in
the computer and it adds or modifies a line in the computer’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to access MSCDEX (Microsoft CD Extensions).
Device Driver Loaded into CONFIG.SYS
The device driver line in the CONFIG.SYS indicates the Directory and PATH
where it is located, as well as the SCSI ID number of the CD-ROM Changer, and
it installs the CDP commands. The CONFIG.SYS File should look similar to this:
DEVICE = C:\DEV\DRD600.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:6 /S:0 /C:CDP
The device driver allows communication to take place between a computer system
and a peripheral device. It is loaded when the system is booted. Pioneer supplies
the following three device drivers for use with several common SCSI host adapters:
1. DRD600.SYS
This device driver works with the Future Domain SCSI host adapters (TMC
and MCS series) and with the Pioneer DD-C5002 SCSI host adapter.
2. DRD60PS.SYS
This device driver works with the IBM SCSI host adapters for PS/2s.
3. DRD60ASP.SYS
This device driver works with any ASPI compatible host adapter that supports
multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers). Note: When using an ASPI compatible
host adapter, obtain the ASPI Manager file from the host adapter manufacturer or
distributor. Install the ASPI Manager before you run the Pioneer Driver
Installation Program.
During the QUICK INSTALLATION procedure, indicate the type of SCSI host adapter
installed in your computer: ASPI Compatible , DD-C5002, FUTURE DOMAIN, or
IBM. (The default is Future Domain). The INSTALL program then loads the proper
driver into the CONFIG.SYS file.

DOS/WINDOWS Device Driver & MSCDEX File
Appendix C
NOTE: The /N: switch (indicating the number of discs to access within the
changer) and the /S:switch (indicating the SCSI ID of the changer) are
automatically determined by the Install Program, and will not usually appear in the
command line. They can be manually added, but if they are indicated in this line,
the /S: switch MUST match the SCSI ID on the back of the unit. The /N: switch
default is 6, but a number from 1 to 6 can be set. If /N:3 is indicated, only the first
three discs in the drive will be assigned drive letters and will be accessible.
NOTE: For information about daisy-chaining drives and about using the XDISC
utility, see Chapter 3, pages 13-15.
