Introduction
Features of the CRW8824S Drive
High speed
CD-R/RW discs can be written/rewritten at up to 8X speed. For example, an audio
CD (74 minutes/650 MB) can be created in approximately 10 minutes.
Data reading at up to 24X speed is supported.
CD TEXT support
CD TEXT is a capability that adds text data to an audio CD. 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. 700 MB discs are also supported.
High-fidelity audio
Writing software can be used to extract digital audio data at up to 24X speed.
(This data can be saved in WAVE format in a Windows environment, or in AIFF
format in a Macintosh environment.) Digital sound can be recorded with com-
plete fidelity even when writing at 8X 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 4 MB buffer memory and
Running OPC*3 technology further enhance reliability.
*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
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.

System Configuration
In order to use the CRW8824S drive, your computer system will need to meet the
following set of requirements.
Computer
The minimum system requirements for using the CRW8824S drive are as follows:
Any fully PC/AT-compatible computer.
A Pentium-class or higher CPU running at 200MHz or faster.
OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows
NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, or Windows 2000.
RAM: 32MB memory, 64MB or more recommended.
A vacant 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the 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 CRW8824S) to your
computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends
any of Adaptec’s AHA-2940-series cards (PCI slot).
Software
The software requirements for using the CRW8824S drive are as follows:
CD writing software. This software must support the CRW8824S drive for
writing to CD-R or CD-RW.
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documenta-
tion that came with it.
When temporarily storing data on a hard disk prior to writing to CD-R/RW, you
will need an extra area of 50 ~ 100MB free hard disk space. When creating an
image file of the data on hard disk before writing to CD-R/RW, you will need as
much hard disk space as the original data, plus an extra 50 ~ 100MB. However,
this extra area is not needed when backing up directly from CD-ROM.
Data is written to disc much more reliably when writing from an image file,
eliminating the likelihood of errors occurring. Furthermore, this solution is ideal
when making multiple copies of discs since the original data is backed up to hard
disk as an image file.

System Configuration
Discs
The CRW8824S can record discs that carry the following logos.
CD-R discs
• The CRW8824S can write these discs at 8X*, 6X*, 4X, and 1X speeds.
• These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD player.
* Compatible with “Orange Book Part 2.”
* When writing at 8X or 6X speeds, please use “high-speed writing capable” discs.
CD-RW discs
• There are two types of CD-RW discs: those that support write/rewrite
speeds of 4X, 2X and 1X, and those that support only 2X.
• The CRW8824S can write/rewrite at 4X and 2X speeds 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.”
* Compatible with “Orange Book Part 3 Vol.1.”
High Speed CD-RW discs
• These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X–10X speeds.
• The CRW8824S can write/rewrite these discs at 8X and 4X speeds.
• 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.”
* Compatible with “Orange Book Part 3 Vol.2.”
• 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.
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 pages.

Jumper switches
The plastic shunts actually contain metal for bridging the two pins of a jumper
switch, creating an electrical connection between them when attached. When
removed, the jumper switch is set to “OFF.” Store unused shunts in a safe place
where they will not be lost.
Use a pair of long-nosed pliers to attach or detach the shunts accordingly.
However, make sure that the computer is switched off when doing so.

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 computer’s SCSI adapter card itself.
Therefore, the CRW8824S can actually be assigned an ID number from “0” to “6.”
The ID number is set by attaching/detaching the shunts on the ID Select jumper
switches according to the diagram shown below.

The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure the
CRW8824S drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as that of any other device on the
chain. By factory default,the CRW8824S is assigned ID number“3”but this can be changed.
If the SCSI card supports SCAM and SCAM is turned “ON,” a different ID number
may be assigned if the SCSI ID number on the rear panel coincides with another
SCSI device.

2 Parity Check
The parity check is used for error correction during data transmissions. If parity-
checking has to be disabled, the shunt on the Parity jumper switch should be
removed.

3 Termination
Terminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the
chain. The SCSI terminator switch should be set to “ON” if the CRW8824S is the
last device on the internal SCSI chain. If the CRW8824S is not the last device on
the internal SCSI chain, the shunt on the Terminator jumper switch should be
removed.

Installation
Installing the CRW8824S Drive
You can install the CRW8824S drive in one of two possible 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 fit the CRW8824S drive in addition to
the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive.
CRW8824S
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 CRW8824S drive.
CD-ROM drive
CRW8824S
When replacing an IDE-type CD-ROM drive with the CRW8824S drive, you will
also need a SCSI adapter card and an internal SCSI flat cable.

Installation
Fitting the CRW8824S 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 CRW8824S 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.
The method for removing the casing and fitting the drive in the drive bay can vary
depending on the manufacturer. Refer to the documentation that came with your
computer for further details.

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.
About SCSI adapter card termination
To connect internally-mounted SCSI devices, the SCSI adapter card’s on-board
internal SCSI termination must be switched ON. With most cards, this is done
automatically. If your SCSI adapter card requires that you manually disable
internal termination, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Operation
It may not be possible to eject the disc tray while a disc is being read or in other
situations, depending on the SCSI command.
Only remove the disc after the disc tray has opened fully. Otherwise, you risk
damaging the drive or the disc.
Manually Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency
If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as a power outage, it can be
opened manually.
Manual Eject hole
Paper Clip
You should only attempt to eject a disc manually as a last resort.
Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.
1 Power down the computer.
2 Find a pin-like tool with a diameter of 2mm or less to fit through the Manual
Eject hole on the drive’s front panel.
A straightened paper clip is ideal for this purpose.
3 Push the tool gently into the Manual Eject hole until the spring-loaded
mechanism ejects the tray and disc.

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.
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 CRW8824S 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 CRW8824S
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. 21, 29)
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 CRW8824S drive in the BIOS.
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?
If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows 95/98/98SE,
make sure that you have installed the most recent drivers supplied by the SCSI
card manufacturer.
If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows NT/2000,
update to the most recent ASPI drivers supplied by the manufacturer of the
SCSI card or the CD-writing software.
For information about the latest version of any driver, please contact the
respective hardware/software manufacturers.
Is the SCSI adapter card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)?
The drivers for your SCSI adapter card may be incorrect. For more details,
contact the manufacturer of your SCSI adapter card.

Troubleshooting
Is the drive’s SCSI ID number the same as that of another device on the SCSI
chain? ( P. 10)
Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed?
Check the connectors.
Is the terminator on the CRW8824S 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. 11)
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
CRW8824S drive.
To find out if it does, contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software.
The disc tray does not come out.
Is the CRW8824S 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. Alterna-
tively, 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 CRW8824S drive?
Even if the disc is of a type compatible with the CRW8824S 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 CRW8824S has a power consumption of 11W (when reading and writing).
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 ON/DISC LED remains lit in
orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has not been
recognized). ( P. 38)
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 ON/DISC LED remains lit in orange after any discs have been inserted),
you should contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.
Errors occur when backing up at 6X or 8X speed from a separate CD-ROM
drive to the CRW8824S 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 or 42X speed CD-ROM drive.
Therefore, before writing directly at 6X or faster speed, 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.).
Errors can occur if you knock the CRW8824S drive while it is writing to disc.
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 depen-
dent on the writing mode.

The lead-in and lead-out areas signify the beginning and end points of a session.
They are not part of the data but contain information about the session itself.
Basically, a session consists of a lead-in, data, and a lead-out.
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-at-
Once mode is sometimes referred to as Multisession.

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 which
specifically supports packet writing, such as Adaptec’s DirectCD.

Packet
Same as writing to floppy or hard disk
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.
