• Is there dust on the disc tray or on the disc itself?
• Does the computer have a sufficient power supply?
The drive has a power consumption of 11W to 12W (when reading and writing) and
25W on spin up.
• Does your computer have several different CD/DVD writing applications installed?
If you use more than one CD/DVD writing application simultaneously, the behavior of
the drive can become unpredictable.
• Do you have DMA enabled on all of your Internal Drives?
8.11. The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the ON/DISC LED continues
to blink after the disc has been loaded.
You may be trying to write to an unstable disc. Replace the disc with another blank
disc. If the drive fails to write to a variety of different discs, it may be faulty and you
should contact Memorex Tech Support.
8.12. What should I do if I get a blue “Error Screen”when trying to record a CD?
If installing your new Memorex DVD Recorder in a PC equipped with a CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive that features CSEL (in which case the jumper on that drive will be set
on the CSEL setting), you may encounter problems (such as a blue screen) when
attempting to record a disc using the supplied recording software. In such a case, turn
off your computer, unplug it from the wall power, remove the cover and then verify that
your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and your new Memorex drive are set to the
CSEL jumper setting. If not, set both drives to the CSEL setting, place the cover back
on your computer, plug it back in and power up your computer to see if the issue is
gone. If not, you may need to reconfigure them to a Master Slave type of configura-
tion. Simply place the Memorex DVD Recorder to the top drive slot and set the jumper
to the MA (Master) setting and place your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM in the drive
slot below your Memorex DVD Recorder and set the jumper to the SL (Slave) setting.
Check to see that all of your cables are in place, place the cover back on your comput-
er, plug it back in and power up your computer to see if the issue is gone.
8.13. When I copy data or music, why can’t my CD-ROM drive or CD players
see the information or play music?
It might be because you are using a CD-RW disc. Most older CD-ROM drives and CD
players do not recognize the new rewritable media, so they won’t be able to read the
information.
