Chapter 5 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.
Special Issues Chapter 5 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.
Chapter 5 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.
Chapter 6 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.
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.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation Troubleshooting IBM-PC DOS/WINDOWS Installation If the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer does not respond after running through the Operations Check on page 3-7 of this Software Installation Guide, note any error messages that may appear in the Inquiry ID line on boot up. Error messages and how to correct them are described on individual pages of this Appendix as indicated below.
Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation SCSI interface card can’t communicate with drive Appendix A This means the device driver was not able to locate the proper SCSI interface card in the PC. 1. Verify that the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer has been turned ON. 2. Make sure you are using the SCSI Cable that goes with your interface card. Not all DB 25 Centronics 50 pin cables are the same. Older Future Domain cards (TMC-845) use an HCA-108 Future Domain cable.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation SCSI interface card can’t communicate with drive This means the device driver was not able to locate the proper SCSI interface card in the PC. (cont. from previous page) 5. Power down the computer, disconnect the cable from the back of the PC and restart the computer.
Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation Time out during selection phase Appendix A This means the driver could not locate the Changer on the SCSI bus. The device driver was, however, able to locate the interface card. 1. Verify that the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer is turned ON. 2. Has the SCSI ID number set on the back of the Pioneer Changer been changed since the software drivers were installed? If so, go into the CONFIG.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation Time out waiting for initial bus free phase, status phase or data phase This means you have some kind of problem with the SCSI cable or a problem with termination. 1. Power down the computer and the Pioneer Changer and re-seat the cable. Make sure it is securely attached. If the problem persists, replace the cable. 2. Check termination. If the Pioneer Changer is the only device or the last device on the SCSI chain, termination should be ON.
Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation The Inquiry ID=0 line is blank (There is no Pioneer Changer model number, or ROM version number on this line.) Appendix A This means that the device driver located a interface card which appeared to be a Future Domain interface card, but was not. We have seen this with Seagate ST01 and ST02 interface cards and the CMS SCSI adapter/ daughter board for the PS/2 Model 30-286 which all use the TI SCSI chip. 1.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation CDR101 Not ready reading drive D This means the drive has failed to read the disc. 1. Verify that discs are in the player label side down. Also check to make sure the discs are not seriously scratched and that they do not have a lot of finger prints on them. If the discs have finger prints on them, they can be cleaned by drawing a soft cloth from the center hole to the edge of the disc; never use a circular motion.
Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation CDR 103 Disc is not ISO 9660 or High Sierra Appendix A This means the disc is probably not a High Sierra or ISO 9660 format. Either High Sierra or ISO 9660 is required to work with Microsoft Extensions (MSCDEX). 1. Verify that the disc is High Sierra or ISO 9660 format and that it is not an Audio Disc. 2. Check and make sure the disc has not been damaged or scratched and that it does not have alot of finger prints on it.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation Incorrect DOS version This means the the version of DOS you are using is incompatible with the version of MSCDEX installed. 1. Make sure you are using the latest version of MSCDEX. (Microsoft CD Extensions). Often a more recent version of MSCDEX will ship with an upgraded version of DOS (DOS 6 and higher). Copy this version into the directory where you have installed the Pioneer CD-ROM drivers.
Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation Appendix A Cartridge will not eject from the Changer 1. 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 it. The other is that the user has set the last DIP switch UP/ON so it has disabled the EJECT button on the front panel. 2. In either case, to remove the magazine, make sure the last DIP switch is DOWN, then turn the Pioneer Changer OFF and back ON.
Appendix A Troubleshooting IBM- PC DOS / WINDOWS Installation BUSY light Flashes at one-second intervals 1. This is a visual indicator from the drive that something is wrong with the drive, affecting its ability to perform. It may be a mechanical problem. Or, the drive may be in test mode. 2. Make sure the switch for Test Mode is DOWN/OFF. Refer to Operating Instructions. For almost all DOS applications, only the terminator switch on the DRM-602X should be up.
Appendix B 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.
Appendix C 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.
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.
Appendix C DOS/WINDOWS Device Driver & MSCDEX File Device Driver command line switches: Switch /D:(device name) /D:MSCD000 Description Example Specifies the device name of the CD-ROM device. This name MUST agree with the device name declared in MSCDEX. /N:n1[,n2] Specifies the number of CD-ROM discs that are in the magazine. This is installed automatically with Version 2.0 and above of the drivers. You may not see this switch in the device driver line .
DOS/WINDOWS Device Driver & MSCDEX File Appendix C Modifications to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file The INSTALL Program also modifies or creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file to add an instruction that tells DOS to invoke the MSCDEX.EXE file with its correct parameters. This allows the system to communicate with the CD-ROM drive. MSCDEX /D:MSCD000 MSCDEX.EXE command line switches: Switch Description /D: (device name) Specifies the device name of the CD-ROM device.
Appendix D (CDP) CD Player Commands Using CDP Commands / CDP Command List For Pioneer CD-ROM Changers Sending CDP (CD Player) Commands from DOS: At the DOS prompt, type the following: C:\>ECHO 1KL>CDP (Carriage return or enter) This will send a command to the CD-ROM Changer to put Key Lock ON, so that the Magazine cannot be ejected. 0KL will turn Key Lock OFF.
