DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):
The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs
(such as movies). Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into
different regions or zones that correspond to the regional markets into which the
motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put, RPC codes are placed on movies
marketed throughout the world, based on the region of the world in which they are
being sold. These RPC codes help control and prevent pirating of new movies into
other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.

Solving Recording Problems
If you have any problems recording via your COMBO drive,
follow the appropriate instructions below for the source that you are using.
✱✱Hard Drive
✱✱CD-ROM Drive
1
Check whether the source file is corrupted.

3
Clean the source CD, if necessary.
2 Optimize the hard disk by using the Windows defragmenter feature:
Create an image file and then copy the image file to the COMBO drive.
Check the CD-ROM drive record speed.
START / PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / SYSTEM TOOLS / DISC DEFRAGMENTER
There are two recording methods :
Low-speed (file by file)
3 Decompress the hard disk if it is compressed.
High-speed (transfer of an image file from the hard disk)
4 Make sure that the space available on the hard disk is at least twice the
size of the largest file to be recorded on the disc.
4
If the transfer speed of the CD-ROM drive is slower than the record speed,
reduce the record speed.
5 If you wish to record more than 1000 small files:
First create an image file and copy the image file to the disc.
Choose the low record speed
Compress small files and then record them
Note
The COMBO Drive provide a high speed rewriting Disc recording function (CD-RW 10X).
To rewrite at a high speed, use the disc which High Speed is printed on.
HS-RW
: supporting 4X, 10X
General-RW : supporting 2X, 4X

Caution with errors
Term Description
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records data by applying recording laser onto a CD.
If the CD is damaged or recording data is not possible, you need to remove the
following causes of the error before using the CD.
What is Buffer Under-Run?
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record
until the data flow ends. However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily,
this may cause errors in recording data.
It is recommended to set a CD-R or CD-RW drive as follows.
What is Auto-Run?
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file
of the CD automatically.
1
2
3
Do not work on a multi-tasking environment and remove screen savers.
If you work on a multi-tasking environment while the CD-RW drive
is recording/deleting data, Buffer Under-Run may occur.
Do not allow any external access to the Host PC while recording data.
Recommended Disc Types
If another user accesses your printer through a network while you are
recording data, errors may occur.
CD-R
Ricoh, Taiyo Yuden, Samsung, Mitsui, SKC, CMC, Ritek, Kodak
Fujifilm, POSTECH
Remove the Auto-Run function of the CD.
If you insert a CD that has the Auto-Run function to a drive connected to a
PC while recording/deleting data, this may cause errors.
CD-RW Ricoh, Samsung, CMC, Ritek, SKC
How to cancel (select) the Auto-Run function
General DMA Installation Guide
Cancel (Select) the Auto-Run function in [Start > Setting > Control Panel >
System > Device Manager > CD-ROM Setting]
(Windows 95/98/Me)
Important!
4
Use image files when you record many small files.
Please read the entire DMA installation guide before installing your COMBO drive.
If you use a lot of small size files for recording, this may reduce the transaction
rate of the PC. Although Justlink function is often run, the recording quality
may become low.
About DMA Installation
For stable writing performance at high speeds, Installation of DMA transfer mode for
E-IDE/ATAPI interface is strongly recommended.
We recommend DMA mode for fast writing.
If you copy a CD from another, you do not require making available space in the
hard disk. However, when you use image files, you need to copy them on the hard
disk first and then copy to a CD. In this case, you need to ensure maximum 700MB
of available space in the hard disk for reliable recording process.
DMA Setting
Before you install your COMBO drive, we recommend to set DMA to enabled on your
PC system. See the following procedure to set DMA transfer mode in windows
oprerating system. (Windows 95 OSR2/98/ME)
Click on START
Click on Settings
Select Control Panel
Select the System Icon
Select the Device Manager panel
in System Properties
Expand the CD-ROM icon

Use an E-IDE cable, which has the specified length (46cm).
Select your CD-R/RW drive
Click on the Properties button
Click on the Settings tab
Check the DMA checkbox to enables DMA.
Click OK
Using E-IDE cables longer than 46cm may cause errors during data transaction.
Use only one recording software program.
To install a software program for recording, uninstall any other types or versions
of recording software programs first and then reboot the computer.
Restart your PC
Make sure you use the recording software CD (Nero Burning Rom /
Roxio Easy CD Creator) provided by us. Using our software program with
others may cause errors in recording.
Windows 2000/XP
Select the DMA mode by selecting [Start > Setting > Control Panel > System >
Device Manager > IDEATA/ATAPI Controller > Default/Assistant IDE Channel
Advanced Information]
Not compatible with Windows 95 in case of Roxio Software.

Check that the power, audio and IDE cables are
correctly connected to the computer.
Adjust the size of the replay screen.
The COMBO drive is not
detected by the computer.
When the MPEG software
plays a Video CD, the
pictures are not regular and
the running speed is too slow.
After checking the display resolution, adjust it,
if necessary.
Change the IDE cable and reconnect it to the
computer.
Preferably, connect a second IDE cable to the
COMBO drive in master mode.
After installing the COMBO
drive, the PC gets slower.
The computer may not recognize the disc if you
start playback too quickly after inserting the disc.
Open and close the disc compartment and try again.

latest version by downloading it from the
Samsung Web site.
The COMBO drive is not
recognized by MS-DOS.
Clean the disc and try again.
The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.
You must therefore connect the COMBO drive to
the IDE port on the PC mother board, rather than
to the sound card, or install an E-IDE compatible
sound card.
The COMBO drive is not
detected after it is connected
to a sound card.
This case may occur when there is a Windows
installation problem; reinstall Windows.

connected to the sound output terminal on the
COMBO drive and the sound card CD-IN terminal.
No sound is heard from an
audio CD.
Check that the sound card is operational.
Adjust the volume control.
Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your
sound card.
You can listen to the CD by connecting headphones
to the appropriate connector.
If you have installed the appropriate player, such as
Microsoft Windows Media Player, you can adjust the
volume using the headphone volume control on the
drive front panel.
If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media
Player of Windows ME/XP, the earphone does not
appear in the Digital Mode.
Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it,
if necessary.
A CD is not read or is read
too slowly.
Check that the power cable is correctly connected.
The disc compartment will
not open.
