Note: This is a Quick Start Guide only. For further information about your QS

Note: Most computers will provide enough power through USB
connection. If your QS Slim is not operating normally, connect the
auxiliary USB to power cable as well as the built-in USB cable. This
will ensure that adequate power is supplied to your drive.
The Kanguru QS Slim features a built-in USB cable. When not in use,
the built-in USB cable can be stored within the housing to allow for
maximum portability.
To release the USB cable:
1. Slide the Cable Release Switch to the right. The USB plug will
become exposed.
Storing the USB Cable
After you have safely disconnected your Kanguru QS Slim from your
computer, you can store the USB cable inside the drive. Simply feed
the cable back into the drive until the cable and USB plug are stored
completely inside the enclosure.
2. Gently pull on the USB plug until the cable is released.
WARNING! The cable will extend to a maximum length of 6”. Do
not over-extend the cable. Do not allow the QS Slim to hang from the
cable.
Windows Operation
Playing Blu-ray movies
The Kanguru QS Slim BDRW does not require any additional driver files
for use with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10. These
operating systems have built-in drivers that support USB connection with the
USB Blu-ray drive. Simply connect your Kanguru QS Slim BDRW USB2.0
Blu-ray drive to your PC through a USB port to turn it on. Windows will
automatically detect the new hardware and install the necessary driver. When
the installation has completed successfully, you will find a “BD-RE Drive”
icon displayed under My Computer.
To play a Blu-ray movie on your computer, there are several things you will
need in addition to your Kanguru Blu-ray drive. First you will need Blu-ray
playback software and HDCP supported hardware.
Removing your Kanguru QS Slim BDRW
Some video cards that currently support HDCP:
• nVIDIA: GeForce 7800 GTX 512 / 7900 GT / 7900 GX2 / 7900 GTX /
7950 GX2 / 8600 GS / 8600 GT / 8600 GTS / 8800 GTX or higher with
256MB min memory.
• ATI: Radeon® X1950/ HD2300/ HD2400/ HD2600 series or higher with
256MB min memory.
Be sure to follow these safe removal procedures. Failure to do so may result
in data corruption.
1.
Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the taskbar.
2.
Select the USB Mass Storage Device with the corresponding drive
letter for your Kanguru QS Slim BDRW from the popup menu.
3.
A message will appear informing you that it is safe to remove the
device. You can now disconnect the USB cable.
If you receive a message that the device cannot be removed, close any programs
or windows that may be accessing the device and then try to safely remove it
again.
WARNING! Do not disconnect a USB drive from your computer while
copying files to or from the device or while files or applications stored on the
drive are in use. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF DATA.
Important! Due to copyright protection features, certain requirements must
be met in order to playback BD movies on a computer. When using digital
video connections, both your monitor and graphics card must support Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). Please refer to your monitor or
graphic card manufacturer’s web site to see if your hardware supports HDCP.
Graphic card driver shall meet AACS compliance criteria. Please consult your
graphics card vendor for proper driver solution.
Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may require
a considerably increased performance PC to provide acceptable results. While
this Blu-ray drive can read DVD-video or BD-MV(BD-ROM) discs, decoding
them for display requires separate MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding that is done
by separate hardware (either an MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoder card or MPEG,
H.264 or VC-1 decoding done by your video card), or separate software that
you install to do MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding.
Note: Apple has not officially supported Blu-ray playback in Mac OS X yet.
There are several software solutions that allow you to write to Blu-ray discs, but
no applications for playback of HDCP video.
