Thanks Moose

I had a look for the wires before I posted the question but will check again, But the only thing I found pluged into the back of the CDROM was the riibbon and a pug with about 5 wires that goes into both players.

Yep, the small plug with 5 wires will be for the sound output from the CD drive. Take it out of the old drive and put it into the new burner. Done.
