Introduction
Features of the CRW2100S Drive
High speed
The CRW2100S 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 CRW2100S 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 CRW2100S 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 CRW2100S drive can write at an optimum speed*4 if the CD-R disc does not
allow 12X- or 16X-speed writing.
1
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 CRW2100S drive detects that the quality of a target
CD-R disc is 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 drive’s mechanism (compared to
CLV’s 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 CRW2100S 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 16Xspeed 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.
2
Before Use
System Requirements
In order to use the CRW2100S drive, your computer system will need to meet the
following set of requirements.
n The CRW2100S drive may not write at a maximum speed depending on your computer’s
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 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the CRW2100S drive.
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 CRW2100S drive) to your
computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends any
of Adaptec’s AHA-2940-series cards (PCI slot).
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 CRW2100S 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
CRW2100S drive.
n 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 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 800MB 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 underperformance 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.
3
Before Use
Supported Discs
The CRW2100S drive can write to discs that carry the following logos.
CD-R discs*1
The CRW2100S 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
CRW2100S 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
CRW2100S 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.
• Refer to the page at the URL below before attempting to read
these discs on a Yamaha CD-R/RW drive not bearing the
High Speed CD-RW logo.

Setup Procedures
Installing the CRW2100S Drive
You can install the CRW2100S drive in one of two ways:
● As an additional drive
If the casing of your computer has a spare 5.25-inch drive bay available, such
as with many tower-type designs, you can install the CRW2100S drive in
addition to the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive.
CRW2100S
● As a replacement drive
If the casing of your computer does not have a spare 5.25-inch drive bay
available, such as with many desktop-type designs, you can replace the
computer’s existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW2100S drive.
CD-ROM drive
CRW2100S
n When replacing an IDE-type CD-ROM drive with the CRW2100S drive, you will
also need a SCSI card and an internal SCSI flat cable.
14
Setup Procedures
Fitting the CRW2100S as an Additional Drive
1 Power down your computer and unplug it from the AC outlet.
If you proceed without doing this, you run the risk of receiving an
electric shock and/or short-circuiting and damaging components,
including the CRW2100S drive.
2 Remove the outer casing of the computer. If you need to remove
screws in the process, make sure you don’t lose them.
n The method for removing the casing and fitting the drive in the drive bay can vary
depending on the manufacturer. For details, refer to the documentation that came
with your computer.
15
Setup Procedures
3 Touch a metal part of the computer’s chassis or power supply unit to
drain any static charge that may have built up inside your body.
Drain any static charge
You can permanently damage equipment if you touch it while there is
any static charge in your body.
4 Remove the front cover of a vacant 5.25-inch drive bay slot in the
computer and slide the drive backwards into the slot.
n Do not apply excessive force when sliding the drive back into the drive bay slot.
16
Setup Procedures
5 Leave enough room behind the drive for connecting the power, SCSI
and audio cables. Then tighten the four fastening screws on the
sides of the unit by hand to hold the drive in place.
17
Setup Procedures
6 Connect one end of the 50-pin SCSI flat cable to the computer’s
SCSI card. Align the red line of the cable with Pin 1 of the card’s
SCSI connector. Next, connect a free 50-pin connector on the SCSI
flat cable to the back of the CRW2100S drive such that the red line
on the cable is aligned with pin 1, marked “SCSI INTERFACE

The drive does not power up.
● Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’s power supply attached
correctly?
The computer does not start up.
● Is the SCSI card installed correctly? Please read the instructions that came
with your SCSI card for details.
The CRW2100S drive is not recognized.
● Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’s power supply 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 CRW2100S
drive and SCSI card listed in Control Panel | System | Device Manager tab.
The drive will be listed when you double-click on CDROM and the SCSI card
will be listed when you double-click on SCSI controllers. (→P. 22, 30)
When you power up your computer, you can access the machine’s hardware
SCSI BIOS settings before Windows is loaded. You can set your computer to
recognize the SCSI card and CRW2100S drive in the BIOS.
n Generally, the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) is a small program that resides on
a ROM chip on the computer’s 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.
● 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. 11)
33
Troubleshooting
● Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed?
Check the connectors.
● Is the terminator on the CRW2100S 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. 12)
● Is the termination on the SCSI card set such that internal SCSI devices can be
connected?
Please read the instructions that came with your SCSI card for details.
● To write to CD-R/RW discs, your CD writing software must support the
CRW2100S drive.
To find out if it does, contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software.
The disc tray does not come out.
● Is the CRW2100S drive powered up?
● Some CD writing software will lock the disc tray once loaded.
In which case, use the eject command from within the software. Alternatively,
read the manual that came with the software.
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 CRW2100S drive?
n Even if the disc is of a type compatible with the CRW2100S 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 on the SCSI chain set to “ON?” Or if it has
no built-in termination, has a terminator been attached?
● Does the computer have a sufficient power supply?
The CRW2100S has a power consumption of 11W (when reading and
writing).
● Does your computer have several different CD writing software installed?
If you use more than one CD writing software simultaneously, the behavior of
the drive can become unpredictable.
34
Troubleshooting
The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the front panel LED remains
lit in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has
not been recognized). (→P. 39)
● Disconnect the SCSI cable from the drive but leave the power cable
connected, then load a 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 front panel LED 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 CRW2100S drive.
● A possible reason is that the CD-ROM drive is not suitable. Please use a highspeed 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 CDROM 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 CRW2100S 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.
35
Appendix
Writing Modes

Track-at-Once (TAO)
This mode is used when writing data to a disc one track at a time. More tracks
can be added later if there is enough space left on the disc. This is why Track-atOnce mode is sometimes referred to as Multisession.

Session-at-Once (SAO)
As a writing method that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned “Discat-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.

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 Adaptec’s Direct CD.

Same as writing to floppy or hard disk
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.

About the firmware
Firmware is a small piece of software built into the CRW2100S drive, and is used
to operate the drive. Since it resides in flash memory, it can be overwritten and
updated. To ensure more reliable operations and enhanced performance of the
drive, updates to the firmware will be made available. You can find information
about the most recent firmware for the drive on YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web
site.
