Introduction

Features of the CRW2200IX Drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW2200IX 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.

Easy setup

Implementation of an IEEE1394 interface (also known as FireWire or i.LINK)

eliminates the need for drive configurations (device ID, termination, etc.). You can

connect and start using the drive whenever you wish without restarting your

computer.

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. (GP. 3)

Optimum Write Speed Control

Before writing to a CD-R, the CRW2200IX 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

High-fidelity digital audio

The CRW2200IX drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed,

as well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at

20X speed.

CD TEXT support

Information such as the song name or artist name can be recorded on Audio CDs

using CD creation software. The text data on the created disc can be displayed on a

CD player that is compatible with the CD TEXT format.

*1 16X- or 20X-speed writing is enabled with the Partial CAV method. (GP. 7)

*2 10X-speed writing/rewriting is enabled with the CLV method and the 4X-10X Full CAV method. (GP. 8)

*3 The optimal writing speed automatically selected will be between 8X speed and the maximum speed designated

for that disc. If the disc is rated at lower than 8X speed writing, you need to designate the most suitable writing

speed manually.

About IEEE1394

IEEE1394 is an industry standard approved by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers). The serial interface has a broad bandwidth and is fast

enough to transfer large amounts of digital video and audio data bi-directionally

between electronic devices including computer peripherals. Also known as

FireWire and i.LINK, the IEEE1394 interface allows units to transfer data or

various controls over a single IEEE1394 interface cable. Unlike legacy serial

interfaces such as RS-232C, IEEE1394 allows for daisy-chaining devices (serial

connection) with data transfer possible between any two devices on the chain.

IEEE1394 also supports a tree (parallel) connection of devices. In addition to

this flexibility, IEEE1394 also eliminates the need for complicated settings such

as device ID and termination as found with SCSI (Small Computer System

Interface) type interfaces. As of this writing, IEEE1394 supports three different

data transfer rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 400 Mbps.

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.”

Data

If data transfer is

interrupted...

When no data is left

in buffer memory...

(Buffer Underrun)

Data is stored in

buffer memory...

then buffer memory

begins to empty

and then written

to disc

writing fails

(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.

If data transfer is

interrupted...

Once data transfer

resumes normally...

and buffer memory is

and enough data has accumulated

about to empty...

in buffer memory...

writing is suspended

writing resumes

Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection ensures error-free results.

Test-writing for Buffer Underrun

You can run a check for the likely occurence of Buffer Underrun by Test-writing a CD-RW

disc. The occurrence of a Buffer Underrun depends on your computer system.

Most writing software includes test-writing functions to check the likely occurrence of

Buffer Underrun before actually writing the disc.

Buffer Underrun Protection is set to ON by default. Test-writing is not available in this

setting. To use test-writing with your computer system, the Buffer Underrun Protection

should be set to OFF.

The CRW2200IX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:

CD-R discs

The CRW2200IX 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. (GP. 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 CRW2200IX 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 CRW2200IX

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. (GP. 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 CRW2200IX 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

(GP. 31), 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

Once you have taken the CRW2200IX drive out of its packaging, you should

immediately note 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).

Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW2200IX drive to the host

computer along with other IEEE1394 devices.

G For optimum performance when writing a CD, connect the CRW2200IX drive

directly or solely to the host computer.

G Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW2200IX

drive is in operation (especially when writing to a disc).

G If there is a slower device connected between the host computer and the

CRW2200IX drive, the data transfer between the CRW2200IX drive and the

host computer will be slowed, which may cause a failure in writing a CD.

G The IEEE1394 ports on the CRW2200IX drive have 6-pin connectors, but do not

supply power (IEEE1394 bus power).

G Do not turn off the CRW2200IX drive while its IEEE1394-connected computer

is turned on. Otherwise, it may cause malfunctions on your computer or other

IEEE1394 devices connected together, depending on the specifications of the

IEEE1394 interface card (host adapter) or the writing software you are using on

the computer.

G Avoid creating a looped connection that sends data output from a device back to

the same device. The illustration below shows an example of such a loop (at the

host computer).

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.

Packet

Same as writing to floppy or hard disk

Notes on Packet Writing

• 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.

• When using packet writing on a CD-RW disc, the actual data capacity is 100 MB less than that

stated on the cover of the disc. The difference in capacity is dependent on the writing mode.

• 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.
