Introduction  
Features of the CRW2100SX Drive  
High speed  
The CRW2100SX drive supports up to 16X speed writing of a CD-R disc, and up  
to 10X speed writing of a CD-RW disc. For example, an audio CD (79 minutes/  
700MB) can be created in approximately 5 minutes. With newly adopted Partial  
CAV writing method (See the following column), you can write a disc by directly  
transferring content data from a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive. Data  
reading at up to 40X speed is supported.  
CD TEXT support  
The CRW2100SX drive is compatible to CD TEXT format. Information such as  
the song name or artist name can be recorded using writing software. The text  
data on the disc you create can be displayed by a CD player that is compatible  
with CD TEXT.  
Wide compatibility  
Compatibility assurance data obtained through exchange of technical data with  
major disc manufacturers ensures compatibility with discs from a very wide range  
of manufacturers. 700MB discs are also supported.  
High-fidelity audio  
The CRW2100SX supports extracting digital audio data at up to 40X speed, as  
well as recording digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at 16X  
speed.  
Reliable writing  
Yamaha’s proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System*1 improves jitter values*2 to allow  
the signal to be recorded accurately. In addition, the 8MB buffer memory and  
Running OPC*3 technology further enhance reliability.  
Optimum speed  
The CRW2100SX drive can write at an optimum speed*4 if the CD-R disc does not  
allow 12X- or 16X-speed writing.

Introduction  
*1 Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)  
Technology that reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it shines accurately on the disc.  
*2 Jitter value  
An important measure of recording quality. This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models  
not using this technology.  
*3 Running OPC (Optimum Power Control)  
CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required  
to write data differs by disc. Running OPC is technology that solves this problem by automatically  
adjusting the output of the laser according to the material of the disc on which data is being written.  
*4 If you attempt to write at 16X or 12X speed but the CRW2100SX drive detects that the quality of a  
target CD-R disc and other things are inappropriate for such speeds, the drive will automatically slow  
down the writing speed optimally for the disc.  
About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)  
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using CLV (Constant Linear  
Velocity) method. In this method, the disc rotation speed will be so adjusted  
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, CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method uses a constant disc  
rotation speed at any portion of the disc whereas the data transfer rate will  
vary. Because CAV method has an advantage to largely increase the data  
transfer rate with a minimum load to the drives mechanism (compared to  
CLVs rotation speed adjustment), many of current CD-ROM drives use CAV  
method.  
CD formats define the constant linear density of written data (data should be  
written onto the disc track in the constant pitch) so that 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 CRW2100SX drive uses CAV method in the inner portions as well as  
CLV method in the outer portions (Partial CAV) in order to enable up to  
16X-speed writing. The drive will control the disc rotation speed to start  
writing at 12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerating up to 16X  
speed and maintaining 16X speed in the outer portions.

Before Use  
System Requirements  
In order to use the CRW2100SX drive, your computer system will need to meet  
the following set of requirements.  
n The CRW2100SX drive may not write at a maximum speed depending on your  
computers system configuration.  
PC/AT-Compatible Computer  
CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300MHz or faster.  
RAM: 32MB memory (64MB or more recommended).  
n If you are using Windows 2000 operating system, you need 64MB or more memory.  
A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).  
A SCSI card to connect SCSI devices (including the CRW2100SX drive) to your  
computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends any  
of Adaptecs AHA-2940-series cards (PCI slot).  
n For details about how to install the SCSI card, refer to the documentation that came  
with it.  
Operating System (OS)  
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows NT4.0 with  
Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000.  
CD Writing Software  
The CRW2100SX drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW  
disc. When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the  
CRW2100SX drive.  
n For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that  
came with it.

Before Use  
For Macintosh computers  
OS: Mac OS 8 or later.  
CPU: PowerPC G3, 300MHz or faster.  
RAM: 32MB (64MB or more recommended).  
CD-ROM drive.  
n Many Apple Macintosh computers have built-in SCSI connectors. However, if your  
Macintosh does not have a built-in SCSI connector, you will need to purchase a PCI  
bus SCSI card. (Yamaha recommends Adaptec’s PowerDomain 2930U card.)  
n For details about how to install the SCSI card, refer to the documentation that  
came with it.  
n When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the  
CRW2100SX drive.  
Hard Drive Space  
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100MB  
free space) on the hard drive. When creating an image file for all data to write to  
a CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as much hard  
drive space as that data (up to 900MB in total). However, such hard drive space  
for the image file is not needed when you are directly writing from a hard drive,  
CD-ROM drive or so on (on-the-fly writing).  
n You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. That image  
file can then be simply transferred and written onto a disc, avoiding writing errors  
related to buffer underrun (a condition where writing is disabled due to under-  
performance of the data transfer rate to the writing speed). Also, note that the image file  
is useful to write multiple discs with the same content.

Before Use  
Supported Discs  
The CRW2100SX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos.  
CD-R discs*1  
The CRW2100SX drive can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X,  
or 16X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a  
CD player.  
n 16X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 2)  
n When writing at 8X or faster speeds, use “high-speed writing capable”  
discs.  
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  
CRW2100SX 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  
CRW2100SX 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.”  
n 10X-speed writing is enabled with Full CAV method.  
• 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.

Setup Procedures  
1 SCSI ID number  
Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its 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 computers SCSI card itself.  
Therefore, your CRW2100SX drive can actually be assigned an ID number from  
“0” to “6.” Press the top or bottom button of the CDR ID selector switch to  
decrement or increment the SCSI ID number, as shown below.  
Press to decrement SCSI ID number

Troubleshooting  
Please also refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site for more information.  
YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site URL:  
The drive does not power up.  
Make sure that the drive is properly connected to a “live” AC outlet using the  
supplied power cable. If necessary, reconnect the cable.  
Make sure that the front panel POWER switch is depressed. As long as the LED  
on the front panel lights up or blinks in green or orange, the drive is successfully  
turned on. There may be no hardware trouble (P. 28). If you cannot see the LED  
activity, consult your nearest Yamaha dealer for repair.  
The computer does not start up.  
Is the SCSI card installed correctly? Please read the documentation that came with  
your SCSI card for details.  
The CRW2100SX drive is not recognized.  
Is the drives power cable attached correctly, and does the drive power up? Also, is  
the SCSI cable connected correctly?  
If the system has started up normally, you will be able to see the CRW2100SX  
drive and SCSI card listed in Control Panel | System | Device Manager tab. The  
drive will be listed as “Yamaha CRW2100S” when you double-click on CDROM  
and the SCSI card will be listed when you double-click on SCSI controllers.  
(P. 22)  
When you power up your computer, you can access the machines hardware SCSI  
BIOS settings before Windows is loaded. You can set your computer to recognize  
the SCSI card and CRW2100SX drive in the BIOS.  
n Generally, the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) is a small program that resides on  
a ROM chip on the computers motherboard as well as on some expansion cards. It  
checks the system and its devices (such as serial ports and hard disk controllers)  
before loading the operating system (OS).  
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/NT/2000, make sure that you have installed the most recent SCSI driver  
supplied by the SCSI card manufacturer.  
For information about the latest version of driver, please contact the respective  
SCSI card manufacturer.  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Troubleshooting  
Is the SCSI card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)?  
The SCSI driver for your 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.  
Is the terminator on the CRW2100SX 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)  
To write to CD-R/RW discs, your CD writing software must support the  
CRW2100SX drive.  
To find out if it does, contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software.  
The disc tray does not come out.  
Is the CRW2100SX drive powered up?  
Some CD writing applications will lock the disc tray once loaded.  
In which case, use the eject command from within the application. Alternatively,  
read the manual that came with the application.  
The disc keeps being ejected.  
Has the disc been placed on the disc tray correctly?  
The drive does not operate correctly.  
Is the disc compatible with the CRW2100SX drive?  
n Even if the disc is of a type compatible with the CRW2100SX drive, some varieties of  
discs can still be unreadable on it.  
Is there dust on the disc tray or on the disc itself?  
Is the terminator of the last device in the SCSI chain set to “ON.” Or if it has no  
built-in termination, has a terminator been attached?  
Does your computer have several different CD writing applications installed?  
If you use more than one CD writing application simultaneously, the behavior of  
the drive can become unpredictable.

Troubleshooting  
The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the LED on the front panel  
remains lit in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the  
disc has not been recognized). (P. 32)  
Power down the computer. Then disconnect the SCSI cable from your drive but  
leave the power cable connected. Now try loading the disc.  
There may be problems with the disc itself. If the drive fails to recognize a variety  
of discs including audio CDs, CD-ROMs and blank CD-R/RW discs (the LED on  
the front panel remains lit in orange after any discs have been inserted), you  
should contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.  
Errors occur when writing a disc at a high speed directly from a separate  
CD-ROM drive to the CRW2100SX drive.  
A possible reason is that the CD-ROM drive is not suitable. Please use a high-  
speed CD-ROM drive. However, for various possible reasons, you may still  
encounter errors even if you are using a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive.  
Therefore, before attempting high-speed writing directly from another CD-ROM  
drive, you should check that it is possible to do so by choosing to test before  
writing.  
The “Buffer Underrun” error message is displayed.  
Try the following:  
• Lower the writing speed setting.  
• Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk.  
• Defragment the hard disk.  
Turn hard disk power management off.  
• Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4 or 5).  
• Disable network access.  
• Close other applications (including screen savers, task schedulers, etc.).  
n Errors can occur if you knock the CRW2100SX drive while it is writing to disc.  
n 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.  
No sound is audible when playing back CD-DA (audio CD) discs.  
Check that the LINE OUT (L/R) connector of the CRW2100SX is connected  
correctly to your sound card or amplified speakers.

Appendix  
Session-at-Once (SAO)  
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, such as Adaptecs Direct CD.

n 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.  
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.
