Take the following actions.
1. Check that you are using an audio CD and not a data CD.
2. Adjust the volume control on the drive. See “Front view of the
drive” on page 2-2 to locate the volume control if you have
connected headphones to the front of the drive.
3. Adjust the sound-adapter volume control. See the documentation
that comes with your sound adapter and audio-CD player
program.
4. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical
outlets for your computer and all attached devices, and remove
the computer cover. Check that the audio-signal cable connects
the CD-ReWritable drive to the sound adapter.

Take the following actions for two common error messages.
CDR-103
The CD in the CD-ReWritable drive is not a High Sierra or ISO
9660 format. The CD-ReWritable drive does not support this
format.
CDR-101
This message displays when you try to access the CD-ReWritable
drive before the drive is ready. The busy indicator lights when
you attempt to access the drive after loading a CD into the CD
tray. Wait until the busy indicator stops lighting before
attempting to read the drive.
The connectors on the audio cables provided do not fit the
connector on your sound adapter.
Some sound adapters might require a special cable. See the
documentation that comes with your sound adapter.
You might have to separately purchase an audio cable for the
CD-ReWritable drive. The audio-out connector on the CD-ReWritable
drive requires a MPC-2 compliant Molex 70066-G connector. (To
locate the drive audio connector, refer to “Rear view of the drive” on
page 2-2.) If you are using an IBM computer or IBM sound adapter,
refer to Appendix E, “Help and service information” for assistance.

To start the diagnostic program, insert the IBM 2X/4X/24X
CD-ReWritable Drive Option Diskette, type A:CDDIAG at the DOS
