WARNING
WARNING
❢ WARNING ❢
• The temperature where CDR400At is located
should be between 5ºC and 40ºC (41ºF – 104ºF),
when used in a fan-cooled system.
• Do not disassemble the CDR400At cover to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Always remove the disc before transporting
CDR400At.

Important Precautions
Important Precautions
• Please read the following precautions before
attempting to operate the CDR400At.
• Before recording a disc, be sure to clean the disc
and tray using an air aerosol-type dust remover.
A dust particle on the disc may cause recording
to fail, producing an unusable disc.
• Always record in a dust-free environment. If the
disc must be removed from the CDR400At before
recording is finished, store the disc in a clean,
dust-free environment.
• The CDR400At contains no user serviceable parts.
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• If any of the following should occur, the
CDR400At should be serviced by qualified per-
sonnel:
Metal objects or liquids get inside the CDR400At.
The CDR400At does not operate normally or a
marked change in performance is noticed.
• Do not place heavy objects on the CD-R discs.
• Do not subject the CDR400At and computer to
impact or shock when in use, as this may impair
recording or playback.
• Yamaha is not responsible for any data or infor-
mation losses resulting from the operation of the
CDR400At.

Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha CDR400At drive. Please read
this manual before using the drive in order to make the best use of the
superior CDR400At functions.
After reading, please retain this manual for future reference.
CDR400At Features
■ 4xS Recording - 6xS Reading
The CDR400At is a CD-ROM recorder capable of recording at quad
speed (4xS), double speed (2xS), or normal speed (1xS).
It can read discs at up to 6xS.
■ Compatible with Seven Different Formats
The CDR400At can both record and read seven different formats:
CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, CD-DA, CD-Bridge (multisession),
CD-Extra, and Video CD. The CDR400At is also equipped with an
analog audio output terminal (headphones) for CD-DA.
■ SCSI 2 Interface for Data Transfer
The CDR400At features SCSI 2, the second generation SCSI interface
for connecting computers and peripheral devices.
■ Compatible with Windows 95 Plug and Play
SCSI IDs are set automatically by the SCAM protocol (level 1).
■ Orange Book Part 2 Compatible 5-Mode Recording
The CDR400At conforms to the five recording modes outlined in the
Orange Book Part 2: Track at Once, Multisession, Disc at Once, Ses-
sion at Once, and Packet Writing.
1
Introduction
Orange Book Compatible Recording
Track at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. Discs
recorded in this mode cannot be played in CD players or CD-ROM
drives other than a CD-R drive until the session is closed.
Multisession
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc in stages (one session at a
time). Additional data can be written later.
Disc at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to an entire disc in one pass. It is
not possible to write additional data later.
Session at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one session at a time. To
use this mode, your software must support Session at Once recording.
New sessions can be written later.
Packet Writing
This is useful for data back-up. Smaller units of data can be added to
tracks. To use this mode, your software must support Packet Writing.
The CDR400At supports sequential packet writing.

Chapter 1 - System Configuration
Chapter 1 - System Configuration
Before using the CDR400At, make sure that you have all of the items
on the list of included items.
In order to use the CDR400At, you will require the following.
Computer
The following operating environment is required:
•
•
An IBM/AT compatible computer with a 100 MHz or faster Pentium
CPU (in order to write at 4x speed), or a 100 MHz or faster 486

A vacant slot in which to install a SCSI card or a pre-installed
SCSI card
•
•
•
A vacant half-height bay

CDR400At drive settings
Before installing the CDR400At in your computer, you will need to
set the following jumpers.
You set these jumpers by inserting jumper connectors into the jumper
switch located on the rear panel of the CDR drive.
♦ SCSI ID settings
♦ Parity setting
♦ Terminator setting
♦ Block size setting
Important: Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert jumper connectors.
In the diagrams in this manual, solid black fill is used to indicate
locations where a jumper is used to short between pins.

♦ SCSI ID settings
The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a
connected SCSI device. You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID
number. Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and
“0” is reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain.
Use a number between 1 and 6 for the CDR400At. Refer to the dia-
gram below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The
factory set ID number is “3”.
Important: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID number
for each device.

Chapter 2 - Installing the Yamaha CDR400At Drive
Note: When you are using Windows 95, and if the SCSI ID setting on the rear
panel is the same as the number assigned to another SCSI device, the
Plug and Play component of Windows 95 will automatically assign an
unused number to the CDR400At (SCAM protocol level 1).

Installing the CDR400At drive
The following steps will differ slightly depending on the type of computer
you are using. For details on removing the cover from your computer,
and installing or removing internal devices, refer to the manual for your
computer.
1. Switch off your computer, and unplug it from the AC outlet.
If you fail to do this, there is a danger of electric shock and/or of causing
short circuits, which may damage the computer and/or CDR400At drive.

PUSH
2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Be careful not to lose the screws that were removed.
3. Your hands or body may be holding a charge of static elec-
tricity.Touch a metallic portion of the chassis or power sup-
ply to release any such charge.
8
Chapter 2 - Installing the Yamaha CDR400At Drive
4. Remove the front cover of a vacant half-height drive bay.
For details refer to the manual of your computer.
5. Remove the SCSI card, and set the terminator setting of the
SCSI internal circuit to the position for internal connected
devices. For details refer to the manual of your SCSI card.
6. Slide the CDR400At drive into the drive bay from the front.
At this time, be careful not to apply excessive force to the drive itself.
Finger-tighten the four fastening screws, and check that there is enough
room to connect the power supply cable, SCSI cable, and AUDIO cables.
7. Connect the SCSI flat cable.
Connect the 50-pin SCSI flat cable to the SCSI card and to the SCSI
interface located on the rear panel of the CDR400At drive.
Position the connector so that the colored line is at pin 1 (your lower right).

This indicator lights up in orange when the CDR400At is powered on,
and lights up in green when the CDR400At contains a disc.
5 READ/WRITE LED
This indicator lights up in green when data is being read, and flashes
when data is being accessed. It also lights up in orange when data is
being recorded on a disc.

This button is used to open or close the tray.
7 Manual Eject hole
This is used to manually eject a disc that cannot be ejected in the nor-
mal way. It is for emergency use only.

Ejecting the Disc
If the CDR400At is powered on:
Press the eject button to eject the disc.
Note: You cannot eject the disc if the SCSI command prohibits the eject opera-
tion while the CDR400At is reading data.
Caution: Be sure to remove the disc after it is completely ejected. (Trying to
remove the disc before it is completely ejected may cause the drive to
malfunction.)
Press the eject button
If the CDR400At is not powered on:
Pressing the eject button will not eject the disc.
15
Chapter 3 - Operation
Manual Eject (emergency use)
Here we explain how to eject the disc when it cannot be ejected in the
normal way; for example, the power is shut off inadvertently or the
loading mechanism fails. This technique should be used only as a last
resort. Frequent use may lead to malfunction.
You’ll need a pin-like object of 2 mm or less in diameter to do this. A
straightened paper clip makes an ideal tool.
1. Insert the pin-like tool into the manual eject hole and push
gently.
The spring-loaded mechanism ejects the disc.
2. After manually ejecting a disc, you must turn off the power
supplied to the CDR400At, then turn it on before continuing.
