Introduction

Features of the CRW2200UX Drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW2200UX drive supports up to 20X-speed writing of CD-R discs, and up

to 10X-speed writing/rewriting of CD-RW discs. Furthermore, the drive supports

data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.

USB 2.0 compatible

USB 2.0 provides high-speed data transfer capability (max. speed 480 Mbits/sec.).

The transfer speed is about 40 times faster than the conventional USB standard

(USB 1.1).

USB’s hot swapping capability allows the drive to be plugged in and unplugged even

with the computer turned on.

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 CRW2200UX drive checks the disc’s capability and

automatically selects the optimum writing speed for greater reliability. The speed

you set is the maximum writing speed.

Reliable writing

Yamaha’s 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.

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.”

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.

Test-writing for Buffer Underrun

Test writing is a function to check for the likely occurrence of Buffer Underrun on your

computer system.

Most writing software includes test writing functions for this purpose.

When the Buffer Underrun Protection is set to ON (Default), test writing cannot be selected

on your writing software.

To use test writing, the Buffer Underrun Protection should be set to OFF.

the CRW2200UX drive.

• The CRW2200UX drive cannot be used with a system that has been booted on MS-DOS or

Safe mode.

CD Writing Software

The CRW2200UX drive requires a CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW

disc. Make sure your CD writing software supports the CRW2200UX drive.

Note

For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Hard Drive Space

Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50 MB to 100 MB of free space as a

working area on the hard drive.

When writing data on a CD-R/RW disc after creating an image file, there must be

enough free space on the hard drive to store the image file in addition to the working

area (a total of up to about 900 MB).

However, this hard drive space for image files is not needed when directly writing

onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW2200UX drive

(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 CRW2200UX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:

CD-R discs

The CRW2200UX 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

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 CRW2200UX 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

These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200UX

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.

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 CRW2200UX 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. 28), 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

When you take the CRW2200UX drive out of its packaging, you should immediately

write 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).

Remove dust or dirt from the disc, using an air spray or by wiping with a dry, soft

cloth. To avoid damage, always wipe the disc gentry in directions perpendicular

to the edge of the disc.

G Can data be read from other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, etc.)?

If no data can be read from a specific disc, data may be written in a format that

the drive cannot recognize, or the disc may be damaged or deformed. Note that no

data can be read from any blank discs, and also that the CRW2200UX drive may

sometimes fail to read data correctly from a disc even if the disc is compatible

with the drive.

G Does the LED on the front panel of the CRW2200UX drive light properly when a

disc is inserted?

If the LED on the front panel remains orange (indicating that the drive cannot

recognize the disc) no matter what type of disc is inserted, consult your local

Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).

No data can be read from any CDs, a disc is ejected spontaneously, or the LED

remains orange even after a disc has been inserted (normally, the LED will

change from orange to green after flashing green for a moment) (¡P. 30)

G If any of these problems arises, disconnect the USB cable from the CRW2200UX

drive while leaving the AC adapter connected to the drive, insert the disc once

again. If no data can be read from a specific disc or a specific disc is ejected, it

may be caused by the deterioration of the disc itself, including data corruption.
