Item Checklist
Thank you for purchasing an ASUS DVD-ROM Drive. The DVD-ROM Drive adds
multimedia capabilities, such as sound and video, into your system.
DVD-ROM, short for Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory or Digital Video
Disc Read-Only Memory, is a type of read-only compact disk that can hold a mini-
mum of 4.7GB, enough for a full-length movie or hours of music.
One of the many compelling reasons to upgrade to an ASUS DVD-ROM Drive is its
backward-compatibility with CD-ROMs. Thus, you will be able to take advantage
not only of the growing number of DVD-ROM titles today for your entertainment,
education, and productivity but also the thousands of CD-ROM titles currently avail-
able. This means that your ASUS DVD-ROM Drive can play old CD-ROMs, CD-I
disks, CD-R disks, and VCDs, and of course, DVD-ROMs.
Another reason is that the ASUS DVD-ROM Drive is connected by means of the
IDE connector of your computer. This connector is usually used to install the hard
disk to your computer. By using the IDE connection, you avoid the need to use an
interface card.
This User’s Manual explains how to install the ASUS DVD-ROM Drive and the
software to use your new drive. Installation is quick and easy if you follow the
instructions carefully.
You’ll also learn from this manual how to use your ASUS DVD-ROM Drive and
detect and solve any problems you might encounter.
