For the latest information about discs previously checked for compatibility with the drive, refer to the following website. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ CD-R discs • The CRW3200SX drive can write at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X or 24X speed. • CD-R discs can be played back on a CD-ROM drive or a CD player. Note • 24X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 6) • Check the writing speeds your disc supports prior to writing. CD-RW discs • The CRW3200SX drive can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed. • CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW” discs. Note Some discs support only 2X speed. High Speed CD-RW discs • The CRW3200SX drive can write/rewrite at 4X, 8X or 10X speed. • High Speed CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a CD-RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo or a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW” discs. Note • When using the packet writing method (P. 35) for writing/rewriting onto High Speed CD-RW discs, you can select the 4X – 10X Full CAV method. For more information refer to the documentation that comes with your CD writing software. (Your CD writing software must support the Full CAV method, as does the CD Writing software that comes with the CRW3200SX drive.) • The Full CAV method is recommended when opening and editing a file on a CDRW disc with an application software. • In order to write, erase, read or play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a CD-R/ RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo. When using a CD-ROM drive to read/play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a drive that supports CD-RW discs. If these discs are used with a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in a computer not operating properly or other malfunctions occurring. Refer to the YAMAHA website below prior to attempting to read/play back these discs on a YAMAHA CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo. URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ 5  Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) The CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method is generally used to write data on a CD-R disc. In writing using the CLV method, the disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data writing speed (data transfer rate) constant on all parts of the disc. In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method exercises control so as to keep the disc rotation speed constant. Since the CAV method makes it possible to substantially increase the maximum data transfer rate without straining of the drive, it is adopted today for most CD-ROM drives. CD formats define the constant linear density of written data so that the amount of written data per disc rotation will increase as the writing point moves from the inner track to the outer track. With the CAV method, therefore, data is transferred at a higher rate when it is written on the outer tracks of the disc. To achieve 24X-speed writing, the CRW3200SX drive employs the Partial CAV method, which is a combination of the CAV method for inner tracks and the CLV method for outer tracks. The Partial CAV method controls the disc rotation speed so that the CRW3200SX drive starts writing at 18X speed on inner tracks, increasing the speed to 24X as the read/write head moves outward and holds the speed at 24X on outer tracks. Tip The CRW3200SX drive supports 8 cm discs. Note Use only circular discs. Do not use any irregular shaped discs such as heart-shaped or star-shaped discs to avoid the risk of malfunction. System Requirements The CRW3200SX drive is designed to operate in the following computer environment. If your computer does not meet these requirements, the CRW3200SX drive may not operate or write at the maximum speed. For Windows Computer (PC/AT compatible) • CPU: Pentium II-class or higher, 300 MHz or faster • RAM: 32 MB (64 MB or more is recommended) 64 MB or more is required (128 MB is recommended) for Windows 2000 Professional, while 128 MB or more is required (256 MB is recommended) for Windows XP. Continued on next page 6  Precautions on Use • 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 900 MB). However, hard drive space for image files is not required when directly writing onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW3200SX drive (on-the-fly writing). Image file You can collect the data files to be written on a CD-R/RW disc into a single image file. The image file is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details, refer to the documentation that comes with the CD writing software. • A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed or builtin) • SCSI card SCSI is a standard to connect a computer and peripheral devices. An optional SCSI card is required to connect the CRW3200SX drive for the computer without a SCSI connector. Adaptec’s AHA-2940 series SCSI cards (for PCI slot) are recommended. For the latest information about SCSI cards supporting the CRW3200SX drive, refer to the following websites.

When you have a question about the drive or need user support services, the serial number is required. Please write the serial number down in the space below. It may be difficult to check the serial number after setting up the drive or for any other reason. Serial number (10 characters: 3 letters + 7 numbers) Serial Number 1 Set up the CRW3200SX drive Prior to connecting the CRW3200SX drive to the computer, set up the following using the dip switch on the rear panel of the drive. ➀ SCSI ID Number ➁ Termination Rear panel Dip switch ID SELECT TERMINATOR 1 24 9  ➀ SCSI ID Number Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer needs to be identified by its own SCSI ID number from “0” to “7.” The SCSI ID number “7” is normally reserved for the SCSI card. Therefore, assigning a SCSI ID number from “0” to “6,” except for the ID numbers in use by other SCSI devices, to the CRW3200SX drive is recommended. The dip switch of the CRW3200SX has four switches, and use SW 1, SW 2, and SW 3 (three switches from the left) to set the SCSI ID number. The switches are set to ON when pulled down. Each switch set to ON counts each ID SELECT number, and the sum total of the ID SELECT number determines SCSI ID number as the SCSI ID table shown below. SCSI ID 0 SCSI ID 1 (by default) SCSI ID 3 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON SCSI ID 4 SCSI ID SCSI ID 2 SCSI ID 5 SCSI ID 7∗ SCSI ID 6 OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON SW 1 (ID SELECT: 1) SW 2 (ID SELECT: 2) SW 3 (ID SELECT: 4) 0 1 (default) ON 2 3 ON ON ON 4 5 ON ON 6 7∗ ON ON ON ON ON ON ∗ The SCSI ID number “7” is normally reserved for the SCSI card. Note • In the case that other SCSI device has been already connected to the computer, be sure that the CRW3200SX drive’s SCSI ID number is different from other devices’. The CRW3200SX drive’s SCSI ID number is set at “1” by default. • Set the dip switch completely upward/downward. 10  Preparing the CRW3200SX Drive ➁Termination A terminator prevents the reflection of SCSI signals at the last device of the SCSI chain. The terminators of the first and last devices of the SCSI chain should be set to ON. If the CRW3200SX drive is not at the last of the SCSI chain, the TERMINATOR (SW 4) of the dip switch should be set to OFF.

If a specific disc is automatically ejected or cannot be read, the disc itself may have a problem. If the drive does not accept any compatible discs (and the LED remains purple), contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual). 27  9 The error message “Buffer Underrun” is shown. If your CD writing software supports Buffer Underrun Protection, you must activate it. For details, refer to the documentation that comes with your CD writing software. To prevent the occurrence of a buffer underrun and to increase the efficiency of data writing, try the following: – Reduce the data writing speed. – Create an image file on the hard drive. – Optimize the hard drive. (Defragmentation) – Do not start any application software including screen savers during data writing. – Deactivate the power management for the hard drive. – Set the data transfer mode of any SCSI devices such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive to “Sync data transfer.” (P. 18) Set the mode of any IDE devices to “DMA.” – Deactivate Windows Active Desktop. – Quit all memory-resident software programs. – Check your CD writing software settings with the documentation that comes with it. Note A writing error may happen if the drive is vibrated while data is being written on a CD-R or a CD-RW disc. 10 Other problems ● Isn’t more than one CD writing software installed in your computer? Installing more than one CD writing software in a computer may cause instability of operation. ● Is there any problem with other SCSI devices? When multiple SCSI devices are connected to the computer, some reason such as device drivers or data transfer speed problems may cause improper operation. In such a case, disconnect all SCSI devices from the computer while the CRW3200SX drive is connected, and then check that the drive is recognized properly by the computer. ● CD writing software must support the CRW3200SX drive in order to recognize the drive. Contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software to see whether the software supports the CRW3200SX drive. 28  Firmware Firmware refers to the operating software designed for your CD-R/RW drive.

When the buffer memory becomes empty due to a delay of data transfer for any reason, a writing error happens. Such condition is defined as buffer underrun, and such an error is defined as a buffer underrun error. Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in the CRW3200SX drive. When buffer underrun almost happens, Buffer Underrun Protection temporarily suspends the writing process. Writing resumes when enough data has accumulated in the buffer memory. Buffer Underrun Protection in the CRW3200SX drive is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless recording before and after suspension. Test writing Test writing is a function to check for the possible occurrence of buffer underrun in your computer environment. When Buffer Underrun Protection of the CD writing software is activated, the test writing function cannot be operated. Buffer Underrun Protection should be deactivated to operate the test writing function. Writing Methods Disc-at-Once (DAO) This method is used to write all data onto a disc in one operation. It writes multiple pieces of data without placing a space between data, starting with the innermost track of the disc. Once data is written by this method, no data can be added to the same disc even if there is free space available on the disc. This method is useful for making a backup copy of an entire disc. Track-at-Once (TAO) This method is used to write data on a disc on a track-by-track basis. A track can be defined as the smallest unit of area that contains an ordinary program, image file, text file, etc. This method enables you to add data to the same disc, one track of data at a time, as long as there is free space available on the disc. A disc that contains data written in several sessions is defined as a multi-session disc. An area that records data and management information (Lead-in/Lead-out) is defined as a session. Lead-in and Lead-out are signals written for stating the starting and ending points of one session. Note Ordinary audio CD players can only play back single-session discs or the first session on a multi-session disc. Do not record audio data on the second and subsequent sessions. 34  Technical Notes Session-at-Once (SAO) This method is used to write data on a disc on a session-by-session basis. Unlike Track-at-Once described above, Session-at-Once enables you to record multiple tracks onto a disc at a time. CD EXTRA, for example, uses this method to write multiple pieces of audio data (or multiple tracks) in the first session and information required for computers in the second session. This method enables you to add data into the same disc, one session at a time, as long as there is free space available on the disc. A disc that contains data written in several sessions by this method is defined as a multi-session disc, like a disc written by the Track-at-Once method. Packet Writing This method is used to record data onto a disc on a file-by-file basis. This method divides a track into small segments called “packets” so that data can be written on a packet-by-packet basis, which means that you can write data in much the same way as you copy data to a floppy or hard drive. Since the data can be written easily, packet writing is proper to daily data backup. Packet writing also enables you to add packets to a disc as long as there is free space available on the disc. Note • Discs need to be formatted for packet writing prior to use. • Formatting a CD-RW disc using packet writing software reduces its storage capacity by about 100 MB since packet writing requires exclusive space for itself. • For CD-R discs, deleting data means masking data but not actually removing data. Therefore, actual free space in a CD-R never be increased even if data is deleted. Audio Master Quality Recording (High quality audio writing mode) This method enables you to record high quality data that can be played back with the 1.4 m/s linear velocity. Note • Audio Master Quality Recording (High quality audio writing mode) is enabled with the 4X speed Disc-at-Once writing method. • Maximum recording time is 63 minutes for a 650 MB CD-R disc and 68 minutes for a 700 MB CD-R disc. CD-MRW (CD Mount Rainier ReWriting) This method is a new standard of packet writing for a CD-RW disc and supports defect control by the drive, background formatting, and disc ejecting during formatting. It enables you to use a CD-RW disc like a floppy disk. Note Formatting a CD-RW disc using CD-MRW reduces its storage capacity by about 150 MB since CD-MRW itself requires exclusive disc space. 35  Distributors and Head Offices / Vertriebs- und Hauptgeschäftsstelle Distributeurs et sièges sociaux / Distribuidores y Casas matrices If you have any questions, please contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer listed below.
