Introduction

Features of the CRW2200SX Drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW2200SX drive supports up to 20X-speed writing of CD-R discs,^*1and up

to 10X-speed writing/rewriting of CD-RW discs.^*2Furthermore, the drive supports

data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.

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. (→P. 3)

Optimum Write Speed Control

Before writing to a CD-R, the CRW2200SX drive checks the disc’s capability and

automatically selects the optimum writing speed^*3for 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.

High-fidelity digital audio

The CRW2200SX 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.

Introduction

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. (→P. 7)

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

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.”

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.

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 and the CD-R/

RW drive.

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. (For more details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD

writing software.)

Before Use

System Requirements

In order to use the CRW2200SX drive, your computer system will need to meet the

following requirements.

Note

The CRW2200SX drive may not write at the maximum speed depending on your computer’s

system configuration.

drive.

Note

For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Hard Drive Space

When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100 MB of

free space) on the hard drive. If you want to create an image file containing all the

data to be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will

need as much hard drive space as that data (up to 900 MB in total). However, this

additional hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are writing

directly from a hard drive or CD-ROM drive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).

About disk image files

You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW disc. Also, note that an

image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to

the documentation that came with your CD writing software.

Before Use

Supported Discs

The CRW2200SX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:

CD-R discs^*1

The CRW2200SX 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. (→P. 7)

• For 8X or faster writing, use CD-R discs that match their respective writing

speeds.

CD-RW discs^*2

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 CRW2200SX 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^*3

These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200SX

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. (→P. 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 CRW2200SX 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

(→P. 29), 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 CRW2200SX 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

Notes

• The SCSI ID number for each device on the chain must be unique. Make sure the CRW2200SX

drive’s SCSI ID number is not the same as that of any other device on the chain. By factory

default, the CRW2200SX drive is assigned ID number “1” but this can be changed.

• When setting the dip switch, move the lever completely upward or downward.

➁ Termination

Terminators prevent SCSI signals from being reflected off the last device in the

chain. The SCSI terminator dip switch should be set to ON if the CRW2200SX

drive is the last device on the SCSI chain. If the CRW2200SX drive is not the

last device on the chain, the TERMINATOR dip switch should be set to OFF.

controllers.” (→P. 18)

When you turn on the computer, you can access the machine’s hardware SCSI

BIOS settings before Windows is loaded. You can set the computer to recognize

the SCSI card and the CRW2200SX drive in the BIOS.

Note

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).

Troubleshooting

● Are you using the correct SCSI driver (mini-port driver)?

If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows 95/98/98 Second

Edition/Me/NT/2000 Professional, make sure that you have installed the most

recent SCSI driver supplied by the SCSI card manufacturer.

For information about the latest version of the driver, please contact the

respective SCSI card manufacturer.

● Is the SCSI card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)?

The SCSI driver for the SCSI card may be incorrect. For more details, contact the

SCSI card manufacturer.

● Is the drive’s SCSI ID number the same as that of another device on the SCSI

chain? (→P. 12)

● Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed?

Check the connectors. (→P. 14)

● 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? (→P. 13)

● Is the terminator on the CRW2200SX 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. 13)

● Check the other SCSI devices to eliminate the possibility of trouble stemming

from those devices.

If you use two or more SCSI devices simultaneously, it may cause trouble with

the device driver or the data trasfer speed. Disconnect other SCSI devices from

the computer but leave the CRW2200SX drive connected, and be sure that the

unit is recognized correctly.

● To write to CD-R/RW discs, your CD writing software must support the

CRW2200SX drive.

To find out if it does, contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software.

The disc tray does not open.

● Is the CRW2200SX drive turned on?

The power LED on the front panel of the CRW2200SX drive should light up

when power is turned on.

● Some CD writing software will lock the disc tray once loaded.

In this case, use the eject command from within the software. Refer also to the

documentation that came with the software.

● For Macintosh users

When the disc’s icon is displayed on the screen after a disc is loaded, the eject

button cannot be used.

To open the disc tray, drag the disc’s icon into the Trash and drop it there to

unmount the disc.

Troubleshooting

● Can you open the disc tray after attempting to restart the computer?

the drive’s front panel.

● Disconnect the SCSI cable from the CRW2200SX drive but leave the AC adapter

connected, and press the eject button.

● Manually open the disc tray as a last resort. (→P. 22)

If this trouble occurs frequently, the drive’s spring-loaded mechanism may be

damaged. Consult your nearest Yamaha dealer for repair.

The disc keeps being ejected.

● Has the disc been placed on the disc tray correctly?

If not, place the disc properly and close the disc tray.

● Has dust or dirt collected on the disc surface?

If so, clean the disc surface using an air spray or by wiping using a lint-free cloth.

Remember to wipe the surface from the center of the disc to the edge.

Be careful not to scratch it.

● Does the drive accept other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc, etc.)?

If the drive does not accept a specific disc, the disc itself must be the problem.

Check for scratches, warping, or other reasons. If the drive does not accept any

disc, consult your nearest Yamaha dealer for repair.

The drive does not operate correctly.

● Is the disc compatible with the CRW2200SX drive? (→P. 32)

Even if the disc is of a type compatible with the CRW2200SX drive, some

varieties of discs may still be unreadable on it. However, blank discs cannot be

played.

● Has dust or dirt collected on the disc surface?

If so, clean the disc surface using an air spray or by wiping using a lint-free cloth.

Remember to wipe the surface from the center of the disc to the edge.

Be careful not to scratch it.

● For Macintosh users

If extension files supporting the drive are not installed, the disc cannot be

mounted or read.

Extension files are included in the CD writing software.

For details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD writing software.

● Is the terminator of the last device in the SCSI chain set to ON, or, if it has no

built-in termination, has a terminator been attached? (→P. 13)

● Does your computer have several different CD writing software installed?

If you use two or more CD writing software simultaneously, the behavior of the

drive can become unpredictable.

Troubleshooting

The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the LED on the front panel remains

lit in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has not been

recognized). (→P. 31)

● Shut down the computer. Then disconnect the SCSI cable from the drive but

leave the AC adapter connected. Now try loading the 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 LED

on the front panel remains lit in orange after a disc has been inserted), you should

contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.

No sound of CD-DA (audio CD) disc is audible.

● Check that the LINE OUT jacks (L/R) of the CRW2200SX drive is connected

correctly to the sound card or amplified speakers. (→P. 10)

● For users with Windows Me, no sound is audible from headphones connected to

the headphone jack of the CRW2200SX drive or from powered speakers

connected to the LINE OUT jacks (L/R) on the rear panel of the CRW2200SX

drive. Make sure settings are as shown below.

(When you are using Windows Media Player 7.0 with Windows Me, the above

symptom is known to exist because the default setting is set to ON for “Digital

activate the Buffer Underrun Protection. For more details, refer to the

documentation that came with your CD writing software.

● For more effective writing, and to avoid causing “Buffer Underrun,” try the

following:

•

Lower the writing speed setting.

Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk.

Optimize the hard drive (Defragment the drive).

When writing, close other applications (including screen savers, etc.).

Turn hard disk power management off.

Select “Sync data transfer” for the transfer mode setting of the SCSI devices,

such as a hard drive, or a CD-ROM drive, etc. (→P. 19)

For IDE devices, select “DMA” for the setting of transfer mode.

•

Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later).

Close residential software.

Make sure the trouble does not stem from your CD writing software by

referring to the documentation that came with it.

Note

Errors can occur if you knock or move the CRW2200SX drive while it is writing to disc.

Note

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 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 100MB 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.

Appendix

About the Firmware

The firmware is a small piece of software built into the CRW2200SX drive, and is

used to operate the drive. Since it resides in flash memory, it can be overwritten and

updated. To ensure more reliable operations and enhanced performance of the drive,

updates to the firmware will be made available. You can find information about the
