Hi

There is no picture of the DVD to suggest what plugs in where.

 

The connectors are of different lengths and potentially are keyed in an "L" shape.

Hi

The power supply is likely to have more connectors than there are actual devices, as they are spare in case of adding another Hard Disk etc.

 

It should not be possible to plug in the wrong cable.

A DVD recorder would want a power and a SATA connected.

 

So please take pictures and post them for a better explanation.
