Jumper settings for master*, slave* or cable select* mode: The writer's master*, slave* or
cable select* setting is determined by the position of the jumper. To change the setting from
master* to slave* or cable select*, you must reposition the jumper. For example, changing the
TDK DVD-R/RW writer to a SLAVE* setting entails repositioning the jumper to cover the "SL"
set of pins, leaving the other pins uncovered. Resetting the writer to cable select* involves
moving the jumper to cover the "CS" set of pins.
