When using an ATAPI MP6200A under Windows 95/NT, what device driver is needed?

The device is supported by the ATAPI driver that is included in the Windows 95/NT system.

The MP6200 Series (SCSI type) drive is not recognized by Windows 95.

  1. First, confirm that the SCSI card is being recognized properly. If it is not, contact the manufacturer of the SCSI card for further information.
  2. Confirm that the ID of the MP6200S is not in conflict with the ID of another connected device.
    (For details on how to change IDs, refer to the user's Manual.)

The MP6200 Series (SCSI type) drive is not recognized by Windows NT.

  1. First, confirm that the SCSI card is being recognized properly. If it is not, contact the manufacturer of the SCSI card for further information.
  2. Confirm that the ID of the MP6200S is not in conflict with the ID of another connected device. (For details on how to change IDs, refer to the user's Manual.)

The MP6200A is not recognized by the PC BIOS, but is recognized by the operating system; does this indicate a problem with the drive?

As long as the MP6200A is recognized by the OS, there is no problem, even if the MP6200A is not recognized by the BIOS.
*To Top

When an MP6200A is connected, is it necessary to disable the PC's Resume function?

Before using any CD-R, R/W drive, it is necessary to first disable the Resume function. If the function is not disabled, a write error may be generated during a write.

A CD-R disc that was created by DirectCD (Version 1.0X or 2.0X) cannot be played back on a CD-ROM drive.

When such a disc is to be read by a standard CD-ROM drive, use the option to make compatibility with standard CD-ROM drives when ejecting CD-R disc from a CD-RW drive. This option is selectable on the menu of "Eject Disc" as "Organize the disc so that it can be read in a standard CD-ROM drive.
*To Top

After writing with Direct CD (Version 1.0 or 2.0), an attempt was made to retrieve a CD-R disc in the format that can be read by standard CD-ROM drives, but a notebook's internal CD-ROM drive could not read the disc.

In some cases, a notebook CD-ROM drive cannot read such discs. (This problem concerns the head in the drive.)
*To Top

A CD-RW disc that was created using Direct CD (Version 1.0) cannot be read in a CD-ROM drive.

  1. CD-RW discs cannot be read by a standard CD-ROM drive. (Either use a multi-read CD-ROM drive, or else read the disc on an MP6200 Series drive.)
Note that when using a multi-read CD-ROM drive, select the option to make compatibility with standard CD-ROM drives when ejecting CD-R disc from a CD-RW drive.

This option is selectable on the menu of "Eject Disc" as Organize the disc so that it can be read in a standard CD-ROM drive".

Although a CD-RW disc was written using Direct CD (Version 2.0), why isn't the disc recognized by a multi-read CD-ROM?

Because a CD-RW disc that was written by Direct CD (Version 2.0) is written in random UDF format, it cannot be recognized even by a multi-read CD-ROM. In this situation, read the disc on an MP6200 Series drive.

The disc can be read by a multi-read CD-ROM drive if a UDF driver is installed. It should be possible to click "UDF driver" above to jump to "ROXIO Home Page."

When Direct CD(Ver. 2.0) is started up, a "page violation" message is displayed and Direct CD is forcibly terminated.

This error is generated when the automatic insert and disconnect location in the system is set to OFF (MP6200S, A), so check this setting.

Noise is sometimes generated during direct writing using a SCSI CD-ROM drive as the source device.

This type of problem can sometimes be resolved by upgrading the firmware of CD-RW drive to Ver.2.20 or later version. The drive firmware is available on the RICOH home page.

After writing a music CD, pops or buzzing noises are heard during playback.

Anti-virus software sometimes generates this type of noise while creating a music CD. In this case, uninstall the anti-virus software that is being used and then repeat the writing operation.
*To Top

After creating a music CD, a scratching noise is heard during playback of the second half of the CD (after about 40 minutes).

If a CD-R disc of a type other than what we recommend is used, noise may be generated. Therefore, use the recommended type of CD-R discs.
*To Top

After creating a WAVE file while using the MP6200S or A drive, noise is heard during playback.

If this happens, check the firmware of the MP6200S or A drive. Upgrading to version 2.20 or later will sometimes resolve the problem. The drive firmware is available on the RICOH home page.
*To Top

If a music CD is written on a CD-RW disc and stereo is set, the disc is not recognized.

CD-RW discs cannot be played on a typical audio CD player. In order to play music that was recorded on a CD-RW disc, use either a multi-read CD-ROM drive or a CD-RW drive, such as the MP6200A or S.
*To Top

When playing back a music CD that was just created, a periodic buzzing noise can be heard every five or ten seconds.

This is likely caused by a failure of the MP6200S or A drive. Contact your dealer for further information.
*To Top

Although it is possible to write CD-ROM data, when writing audio CD data from a CD-ROM drive directly to a CD-RW drive, a "Buffer Under Run" error is generated.

This is likely caused by the CD-ROM drive not being able to read the audio CD data at 2x speed or faster.
*To Top

Although it is possible to write CD-ROM data, when writing audio CD data from a CD-ROM drive directly to a CD-RW drive, an error message is generated and it is not possible to write the audio CD data.

This is likely caused by the CD-ROM drive not supporting to read digital audio signals.
*To Top

Although it is possible to specify writing all tracks of an audio CD from a CD-ROM drive directly to a CD-RW drive, when just a single track is specified, an error is generated and it is not possible to write the audio CD data.

This problem arises when an Adaptec AHA-2920 SCSI card is being used. In this situation, purchase and use the SCSI card that we recommend.
