Introduction  
Features of the CRW2200SX Drive  
High speed writing/reading  
The CRW2200SX drive supports up to 20X-speed writing of CD-R discs,*1 and up  
to 10X-speed writing/rewriting of CD-RW discs.*2 Furthermore, the drive supports  
data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.  
SafeBurn™ (Enhanced write stability technology)  
Generous 8MB of buffer memory  
Because of the large data storage area, stable disc writing is possible even at fast  
speeds.  
Buffer Underrun Protection  
When data transfer from the host PC is interrupted, Buffer Underrun Protection is  
activated to keep precious CD-R discs from going to waste. (P. 3)  
Optimum Write Speed Control  
Before writing to a CD-R, the CRW2200SX drive checks the disc’s capability and  
automatically selects the optimum writing speed*3 for greater reliability. The speed  
you set is the maximum writing speed.  
Reliable writing  
Yamahas proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)  
This technology reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it projects  
accurately onto the disc. Jitter value, an important measure of recording quality, has  
been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology.  
Running OPC (Optimum Power Control)  
Running OPC automatically adjusts the output of the laser according to the  
characteristics of the disc being used. Running OPC provides greatly enhanced  
recording reliability for various manufacturer’s discs.  
High-fidelity digital audio  
The CRW2200SX drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed,  
as well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at  
20X speed.

Introduction  
Buffer Underrun Defined  
CD-R/RW drives are equipped with buffer memory. This memory temporarily  
stores data while a disc is being recorded. When buffer memory becomes empty  
(due to unexpected interruptions or the system’s inability to keep up with the  
writing process), a writing error occurs. This error is known as a “buffer  
underrun error.”  
Data  
If data transfer is  
interrupted...  
When no data is left  
in buffer memory...  
(Buffer Underrun)  
Data is stored in

(Buffer Underrun  
Error)  
A Buffer Underrun Error will permanently ruin the disc.  
Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection  
Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in Yamaha’s CRW2200 series CD-R/  
RW drives. When a buffer underrun is about to occur, a buffer underrun error is  
prevented by temporarily suspending the writing process. Writing resumes when  
enough data has accumulated again in buffer memory. Buffer Underrun  
Protection on the CRW2200 series is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless  
recording between stop and continuation points.  
If data transfer is  
interrupted...  
Once data transfer  
resumes normally...  
and buffer memory is  
and enough data has accumulated  
about to empty...

writing is suspended  
writing resumes  
Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection ensures error-free results.  
Test-writing for Buffer Underrun  
You can run a check for the likely occurence of Buffer Underrun by Test-writing a CD-RW  
disc. The occurrence of a Buffer Underrun depends on your computer system and the CD-R/  
RW drive.  
Most writing software includes test-writing functions to check the likely occurrence of  
Buffer Underrun before actually writing the disc.  
Buffer Underrun Protection is set to ON by default. Test-writing is not available in this  
setting. To use test-writing with your computer system, the Buffer Underrun Protection  
should be set to OFF. (For more details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD  
writing software.)

CD Writing Software  
The CRW2200SX drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc.  
When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2200SX  
drive.  
Note  
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.  
Hard Drive Space  
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100 MB of  
free space) on the hard drive. If you want to create an image file containing all the  
data to be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will  
need as much hard drive space as that data (up to 900 MB in total). However, this  
additional hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are writing  
directly from a hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).  
About disk image files  
You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an  
image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to  
the documentation that came with your CD writing software.

Before Use  
Supported Discs  
The CRW2200SX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:  
CD-R discs*1  
The CRW2200SX drive can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X,  
or 20X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD  
player.  
Notes  
• 16X- or 20X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 7)  
• For 8X or faster writing, use CD-R discs that match their respective writing  
speeds.  
CD-RW discs*2  
There are two types of CD-RW discs: those that support write/rewrite speeds  
of 1X, 2X, and 4X, and those that support only 2X. The CRW2200SX drive  
can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed on the first type of disc, and at 2X on the  
second type of disc. These discs can be read/played on a device (e.g., CD-  
ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”  
High Speed CD-RW discs*3  
These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200SX  
drive can write/rewrite these discs at 4X, 8X, or 10X speed. These discs can be  
read/played by a CD-RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo, or by  
a device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”  
Note  
10X-speed writing/rewriting is enabled with the CLV method, and the 4X-10X  
Full CAV method. (P. 8)  
• In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/RW  
drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must be  
used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs, the  
drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.  
• If these discs are used in a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the  
High Speed CD-RW logo, the discs may not be recognized,  
resulting in the computer not operating correctly or other  
malfunctions occurring.  
• Refer to the page at the URL below before attempting to read  
these discs on a Yamaha CD-R/RW drive not bearing the

Before Use  
About the Orange Book  
The Orange Book standard defines how all recordable discs (including CD-R and CD-RW) are  
written. Part 2 of the Orange Book standard relates to CD-R discs, and Part 3 to CD-RW discs.  
The standard was named after the color of the book’s cover.  
About CD-ROMs  
A CD-ROM disc is a compact disc containing high-density read-only data. It has  
many applications, including the playback of music and video, the archiving of  
data, as well as on-line documentation. The following are descriptions of each  
CD-ROM format:  
CD-DA: Up to 79 minutes of stereo audio is written in 16-bit resolution at a  
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz for a 79 minute disc.  
Data CD: Up to 700 megabytes of computer data is stored in standard ISO9660  
format for a 700 MB disc.  
Video CD: These hold movies in which video and audio data has been  
compressed using MPEG-1 technology.  
About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)  
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using the CLV (Constant Linear  
Velocity) method. In this method, the disc rotation speed is adjusted so as to  
keep a constant data transfer rate at any portion of the disc. In other words, the  
disc rotation speed will vary in CLV writing.  
In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method uses a constant disc  
rotation speed for all portions of the disc so that the data transfer rate will vary.  
Because the CAV method has the advantage of largely increasing the data  
transfer rate with a minimum load to the drive’s mechanism (compared to CLV’s  
rotation speed adjustment), many current CD-ROM drives use the CAV method.  
CD formats define the constant linear density of written data (data should be  
written onto the disc at a constant pitch) so that the amount of recorded data per  
disc rotation will increase as the writing point moves from the inner to the outer.  
In other words, in CAV writing the outer portion has an increased data transfer  
rate.  
The CRW2200SX drive uses the CAV method in the inner portions as well as  
the CLV method in the outer portions (Partial CAV) in order to enable up to  
20X-speed writing. The drive will control the disc rotation speed to start writing  
at 12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerating up to 20X speed and  
maintaining 20X speed in the outer portions.

Before Use  
About 10X-speed writing/rewriting of a High Speed CD-RW disc  
10X-speed writing/rewriting of a High Speed CD-RW disc is enabled with the  
CLV method, and the 4X-10X Full CAV method. Commonly, writing/rewriting  
is enabled with the CLV method. When writing/rewriting with packet writing  
(P. 29), you can also select the Full CAV method. For more details, refer to the  
documentation that came with your CD writing software. (Make sure that your  
CD writing software supports the Full CAV method.) For direct editing of a file  
on a CD-RW disc, the Full CAV method is recommended.  
Serial Number  
Once you have taken the CRW2200SX drive out of its packaging, you should  
immediately note down the serial number found at the bottom of the drive with the  
bar code. You may need to refer to this number when requesting Customer Support  
services. In the box below the following diagram, write down the 10-character serial  
number (consisting of 3 letters followed by 7 digits).

Setup Procedures  
Set Up the CRW2200SX Drive  
SCSI Settings  
Before connecting the CRW2200SX drive to the computer, you need to set up the  
following using the dip switches located on the rear of the drive.  
SCSI ID Number  
Termination  
Rear panel  
Dip switches  
SCSI ID Number  
Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its own SCSI ID  
number. You need to assign a number from “0” to “7” for each SCSI device.  
Commonly, ID number “7” is reserved for the computer’s SCSI card itself.  
Therefore, the CRW2200SX drive can actually be assigned an ID number from “0”  
to “6.” Set the SCSI ID numbers using the three dip switches as shown below.

Setup Procedures  
Notes  
• The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure the CRW2200SX  
drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as that of any other device on the chain. By factory  
default, the CRW2200SX drive is assigned ID number “1” but this can be changed.  
• When setting the dip switch, move the lever completely upward or downward.  
Termination  
Terminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the  
chain. The SCSI terminator dip switch should be set to ON if the CRW2200SX  
drive is the last device on the SCSI chain. If the CRW2200SX drive is not the  
last device on the chain, the TERMINATOR dip switch should be set to OFF.

Troubleshooting  
Are you using the correct SCSI driver (mini-port driver)?  
If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows 95/98/98 Second  
Edition/Me/NT/2000 Professional, make sure that you have installed the most  
recent SCSI driver supplied by the SCSI card manufacturer.  
For information about the latest version of the driver, please contact the  
respective SCSI card manufacturer.  
Is the SCSI card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)?  
The SCSI driver for the SCSI card may be incorrect. For more details, contact the  
SCSI card manufacturer.  
Is the drive’s SCSI ID number the same as that of another device on the SCSI  
chain? (P. 12)  
Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed?  
Check the connectors. (P. 14)  
Is the terminator of the last device on the SCSI chain set to ON, or, if it has no  
built-in termination, has a terminator been attached? (P. 13)  
Is the terminator on the CRW2200SX drive set correctly?  
It should be set to ON only if it is the last device on the SCSI chain. Otherwise, it  
should be set to OFF. (P. 13)  
Check the other SCSI devices to eliminate the possibility of trouble stemming  
from those devices.  
If you use two or more SCSI devices simultaneously, it may cause trouble with  
the device driver or the data trasfer speed. Disconnect other SCSI devices from  
the computer but leave the CRW2200SX drive connected, and be sure that the  
unit is recognized correctly.

As a writing method that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned “Disc-at-  
Once” and “Track-at-Once,” you can combine multiple tracks into one session and  
write them, and then add additional data.  
For example, this is the writing method used to create a CD EXTRA format CD. The  
music tracks will be recorded in the first session, and the data will be recorded in the  
second session.

Packet Writing  
This mode is used when writing to a track of a disc using small blocks of data called  
“packets,” in a manner similar to a floppy disk. This mode is useful when making  
small incremental backups of data. You will need to use software that specifically  
supports packet writing.

Notes on Packet Writing  
• Discs must be formatted before they can be used for packet writing. With CD-RW, erased data  
can be overwritten until the disc is completely full.  
• When using packet writing on a CD-RW disc, the actual data capacity is 100MB less than that  
stated on the cover of the disc. The difference in capacity is dependent on the writing mode.  
• With CD-R, the space used by the erased data cannot be reused and is “masked” so that it is no  
longer visible. This can be done up to 100 times.
