TARGUS USB 2.0 CD-ROM  
SLIM EXTERNAL DRIVE  
Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the Targus Targus USB 2.0 DVD/CD-RW Slim External Drive that  
allows you to read audio and data CDs. After installing the Targus drive, you can use it at  
any time by connecting the supplied Universal Serial Bus (USB) Y-cable to your computer’s  
USB ports.  
This user’s guide describes how to connect and operate the Targus drive. In addition to this  
user’s guide, this package contains:  
• Targus Targus USB 2.0 DVD/CD-RW Slim External Drive  
• USB Y-cable  
System Requirements  
To use the Targus drive, your computer must meet the following hardware requirements and  
run one of the operating systems listed below.  
Hardware  
• PC with an Intel® Pentium® processor or equivalent and a hard disk drive  
• 64 MB RAM or higher, depending on the operating system  
• Two (2) USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface ports  
NOTES: When connected to USB version 1.1 ports, the drive’s performance level will  
be less than optimal. For best results, connect the driver to USB version 2.0 ports.

Targus USB 2.0 CD-ROM Slim External Drive  
The Targus drive receives its power from your computer’s USB ports. You must have a  
minimum of two USB ports to use the drive, they must be in full compliance with the  
USB specifications and supply a minimum of 5V/500mA of power.  
Operating System  
• Windows® Me/2000/XP  
Connecting the Drive and Installing the Drivers  
NOTES: Installing the Targus drive may change internal drive letter assignments.  
You can connect the Targus drive to your computer via a hub or port replicator as  
long as the device has its own AC power adapter.  
The Y-cable that connects the Targus drive to your computer has two USB type A  
connector ends, one single and one with a USB pass-through.  
The connector with the USB pass-through supports up- and downstream data flow  
between your computer and supported devices connected to the pass-through connector  
and provides power to the drive. The single connector supports up- and downstream data  
flow between the drive and your computer and also provides power to the drive.  
CAUTIONS: Avoid connecting a high power device, such as a printer or scanner, to  
your computer via the Y-cable’s pass-through end as the device may not work  
properly and/or cause the Targus drive to stop working temporarily. For best  
results, connect only low power devices, such as a mouse or keyboard, to the pass-  
through end.  
If using a hub or port replicator, the USB ports on the device must provide at least  
500 mA, per port, for the Targus drive to work properly. Also, for best results, turn  
off any high power devices on the hub or port replicator while using the drive.

Targus USB 2.0 CD-ROM Slim External Drive  
NOTE: Not all USB hubs and port replicators will support the use of this drive with  
the y-cable. If your hub or port replicator does not allow the drive to function, the  
drive will need to be attached directly to the USB ports on your computer.  
When the USB type A connectors are used together, the Y-cable provides enough power  
to run the Targus drive, eliminating the need for an AC power adapter.

connected to your computer or if the computer’s battery is flat and there is no  
power available for the eject button. Excessive use of the emergency eject  
mechanism may damage it and cause the mechanism to stop working.

Hot Swapping  
You can connect and disconnect the Targus drive while the computer is running. When  
connecting the Targus drive, first connect the Type A connectors of the Y-cable and then  
connect the Type B.  
When disconnecting, remove the Type B connector from the drive first.  
Playing Audio CDs  
To play audio CDs, use the Windows MediaPlayer included in your computer’s operating  
system.  
The Targus drive supports digital audio extraction (DAE) for audio CD playback. This allows  
you to listen to audio CDs via your computer’s built-in audio system without connecting  
external devices, such as headphones or speakers. To use this method, the digital audio  
feature in Windows Media Player must be enabled.  
You can also listen to audio CDs by connecting headphones or external speakers to the  
audio out jack on the Targus drive. However, you must disable the digital audio feature in  
Windows Media Player, otherwise you will continue to hear audio through your computer.  
To enable or disable the digital audio feature, refer to the Windows® operating system  
manual that came with your computer or select the Help option in Windows Media Player.  
Things to Remember

• A short delay is normal before the Targus drive reads an audio CD, CD-ROM, DVD or  
DVD-ROM.  
WARNING: Never clean the Targus drive with a commercially available CD or CD-  
ROM cleaning set as doing so may cause damage to the drive.
