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-RWdiscs.  
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 CD-  
RW 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.

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.

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.

G SCSI ID Number  
Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer needs to be identified by its  
own SCSI ID number from 0to 7.The SCSI ID number 7is normally  
reserved for the SCSI card. Therefore, assigning a SCSI ID number from 0to  
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.

Technical Notes  
Buffer Underrun Protection Function  
CD-R/RW drives are equipped with a buffer memory, which temporarily stores data  
that is being transferred. 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.

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 packetsso 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.
