1.	When the DSR-8000dp is connected to the PC, the DSR-8000dp or the S201 recorders, are not recognized by the computer; or Seagate Pioneer DVD-304S is the only drive recognized by the computer. A It is possible that the cable is connected to the back of DSR-8000dp incorrectly. aa--Verify that the SCSI cable is connected to the "Direct SCSI" port, not the "SCSI (MASTER)" port. aa--Confirm that the DSR-8000dp is in "DPM88"mode? The SYSTEM MODE of DSR-8000dp needs to be set to DPM88 in order for it to be recognized by the computer. aa--Confirm the SCSI ID of the DSR-8000dp does not conflict with other SCSI devices on the PC?
2.	Using Windows NT/98/2000, a "2102" error occurs in the middle of writing to a DVD-R. A This error indicates a Buffer Underrun. The data is not being transferred fast enough from the computer to the DSR-8000dp. When you use Windows NT, confirm the source hard drive has DMA turned on. For changing the DMA setting, please use "DMACHECK.exe" which is included in Service Pack4 in Windows NT. When you use Windows 98/2000, please open "properties" of HDD in the device manager and check the box marked DMA.
3.	An error occurs in the middle of writing to a DVD-R. A - If you are writing to more than one recorder, confirm the blank DVD-R media is the same in all the drives. When you use different blank disks when writing to multiple drives, a writing error can occur. - Confirm the blank DVD-R media you are using is labeled "For Authoring"?
4.	In the Device Manager, the DSR-8000dp is being reported as an unknown device, under the name "HOEI DPM88 SYSTEM". Is this normal? Should there be a driver for this device? A It is normal for the unit to report as a "HOEI DPM88 SYSTEM" in the Device Manager. There is no driver for the system and having it listed as an unknown device does not affect the operation of the unit.
5.	The system starts to write, but there is no progress indication. A It is possible that ASPI driver is not installed properly for the Adaptec SCSI card or the driver needs to be updated. - First, please confirm that the same error occurs when using the SCE's CD/DVD-ROM Generator. Start up CD/DVD-ROM Generator only, then open the Recording Unit Controller. Does the "Loading ASPI Manager Loading Failed" error message appear? - If it does, the ASPI drivers need to be installed or updated. The drivers are available on the Adaptec web site, www.adaptec.com.
6.	The error message, "DSR UNIT NOT FOUND!" or "NO ASPI DRIVER!" is shown when you start up DPM88. A Check if your PC and DSR-8000 are properly connected each other. Replace the SCSI cable with an another fine cable if your have. Check whether the ASPI driver is installed in your PC or if version of ASPI driver in your PC may be old. The ASPI driver later than ver4.60 is recommended to use with DPM88.
7.	The master disc created by the DPM88 ver2.00 does not pass through the MCHECK. A A Check which version of MCHECK you use. Version of MCHECK.exe to check the master disc created by the DPM88 ver2.00 must be later than SCE's "PlayStation 2" Master Disc Checker ver1.59.
