| 313367 | 2005-01-12 21:14:00 | I want to change my DVD jumper setting to secondary slave (it is now secondary master). I don't know which jumper configuration is secondary slave. it doesnt' say on the drive and i don't have a manual. Can somebody help? It is a really old pioneer dvd rom (6x). I can't seem to find anything on the pioneer website. | werq (6855) | ||

The jumper should be on the 2 closest to the IDE connector if, as you say, it is set to master. Move the jumper to the next 2 pins to the left, so it is in on the middle 2 pins of the 6. That will set it to slave. It will then become secondary slave if you plug it back into the same IDE cable. |

(coz these settings seem to be the same as the one for my CD writer (for which i have the manual). |

Looking at the pins, from left to right, it should look like this - : : : The first 2 pins, one above the other, are for Cable select. 2nd 2 pins are for Slave 3rd lot of 2 pins are for Master Put the jumper on whichever 2 pins you want that relates to the setting you want. Beware that you can't have 2 IDE devices on the same cable that have the jumper on the same setting except for Cable Select. |
