your laptop/notebook.
Installation Notes
•
•
The SD-R2412 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo 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-R2412 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 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive – SD-R2412
Drive Operation
Inserting Media
To insert media perform the following steps:
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. Gently close the disc tray.
Removing Media
To remove media disc from the drive, perform the following steps:
1. Open the loading tray by pressing the Eject Button, and pulling tray out.
2. Grasp disc by it's outer edge, and lift out of loading tray.
3. Gently close the loading tray.
Usage Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the disc tray closed when not using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo 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 playing a DVD movie or accessing a disc. To
stop a DVD movie, click Stop button in the DVD player application program
•
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.

Regional Coding
Region Protection Coding (RPC) of DVD Discs: this feature is supported on DVD Players and is used
with DVD-Video Discs (i.e. movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into
different regional "zones." These regions or "zones" correlate to the regional markets into which the
motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC Codes are placed on Movie Discs marketed
throughout the world based on the region of the world where they are being sold. These RPC codes
help to control and prevent the pirating of new release movies into other motion picture market regions
prior to their true release dates within those markets.
The SD-R2412 DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive supports the current RPC phase 2 industry specifications. This
means that when the DVD-ROM drive ships from the factory it is set to the region for which the
Operating System was intended. In other words the drive is set to support the Region 1 (North America)
Operating System and will only play Region 1 (North America) DVD-Video movie discs.
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. Turn computer power OFF by properly shutting down system.
2. Insert a solid bar (i.e. large paper clip) into Emergency Eject hole and push in as shown in the
picture below.
3. Loading tray will open/eject.
Figure 2.Using Emergency Eject
Handling Media
DVD media is sensitive to dust and fingerprints. Carefully handle media by its edges only. If a DVD
movie skips or hangs during playback, clean the media. Most DVD video playback issues are media-
related and can be remedied by proper handling and care of media.
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.
