Located on the front of the drive in the bottom right hand corner is the tray eject button and activity LED. Sony includes an IDE cable, quick start guide and instruction manual, but does not include an analog audio cable or any sort of writable media.

Sony offers a one year limited warranty with the DRU-503A which includes 90 days of toll-free technical support available Monday through Saturday 8AM to 8PM Central Standard Time. Sony also offers Website technical support 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Setup and Use

Sony packages both a hardware and software quick start guide with the DRU-503A which allows you to get the drive installed and writing discs fairly quickly. There is a larger, more detailed manual located on the CD-ROM should you need to look up specific information. We had no trouble installing the DRU-503A and found installation to be no different that any other CD or DVD drive.
