Introduction

Features of the CRW6416S Drive

6X Speed Writing to CD-R, 4X Speed Writing to CD-RW and 16X Speed
Reading

The CRW6416S drive can write to CD-R at 6X, 4X or 1X (normal) speed and
write/overwrite to CD-RW at 4X or 2X speed. It can also read from CD-R and CD­ROM media at up to 16X speed.

Supports a Wide Range of CD Formats

The CRW6416S drive can read from and write to CD-ROM in standard ISO9660
format and to audio CD in CD-DA format. Use the drive for a wide variety of
purposes, such as backing up data, writing your own audio CDs and creating
multimedia titles (using CD Extra mode). Just choose the writing/reading format
that suits your needs. For more details, refer to page 10.

Fast SCSI-2 Compatible

The CRW6416S is compatible with Fast SCSI-2, the second-generation SCSI protocol
for interconnecting computers and peripherals.

Windows 95/98 Plug and Play Compatible

Under Windows 95 or Windows 98, the SCSI ID number of the CRW6416S can be
set automatically since the drive supports the SCAM Level 1 protocol. If there is a
conflict between the manually-assigned SCSI ID of the CRW6416S drive and the ID
of another SCSI device on the same chain, the CRW6416S is automatically assigned a
vacant SCSI ID instead.

Supports all Four CD Writing Modes

These modes are Disc-at-Once (the disc is written in a single pass without pausing),
Track-at-Once (data can be written incrementally to disc one track at a time),
Session-at-Once (each session is written in a single pass without pausing), and
Packet Writing (data can be written to disc in small increments just like with a
floppy or hard disk). For more details, refer to page 42.

Copyrights

When writing to CD-R/RW, make sure that you are not breaching any copyrights. It is illegal to
copy audio CDs for non-personal use. When backing up software, please make sure that you are
not breaching any software copyrights for that product.

Distributing discs

When writing important data or preparing data for distribution to others, make sure that the disc
can be read properly before writing duplicates.

Warranty

Yamaha accepts no liability for the loss of any data or any problems caused as a result. As a
precaution, it is recommended that the discs are tested after they have been written to.
Furthermore, under no circumstances does Yamaha guarantee the reliability of the media.

8

System Configuration

In order to use the CRW6416S drive, your computer system will need to meet
the following set of requirements.

Computer

The minimum hardware requirements for using the CRW6416S drive are as
follows:

● Any fully PC/AT-compatible computer.

● A Pentium-class or higher CPU running at 133MHz or faster. (200MHz or

faster recommended.)

● A 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the drive.

● A spare expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).

● A SCSI card to connect SCSI devices (including the CRW6416S) to your

computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends
any of Adaptec’s AHA2940AU-series cards (PCI slot).

Software

The software requirements for using the CRW6416S drive are as follows:

● OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT4.0 with Ser vice Pack 3.

● CD writing software. This software must support the CRW6416S drive for

writing to CD-R or CD-RW.

n For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the manual that comes with it.

● Sufficient free hard disk space to install the necessary software. You will
need a further 750MB of free space, or 800 ~ 850MB for packet writing, if
you plan to write an image file to hard disk prior to writing to CD-R or CD­RW.

n 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.

9

System Configuration

Media

The CRW6416S drive is compatible with discs which meet the following
specifications:

● CD-R discs:

Use discs that conform to the Orange Book Part 2 standards. When writing
to CD-R at 4X or 6X speed, you should use discs that have been designed for
high-speed recording.

● CD-RW discs:

Use discs that conform to the Orange Book Part 3 standards. When writing
to CD-RW at 4X speed, you should use discs that have been designed for
high-speed recording.

● Read-only discs:

You can read from any CD-ROM discs that conform to the Yellow Book
standard, and which bear the logo. You can also play back any CD­DA (audio) discs that conform to the Red Book standards, and which bear
the logo.

n 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. Similarly, the Red Book standard
relates to audio (CD-DA) discs and the Yellow Book standard relates to CD-ROM discs.

About CD-ROM

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 74 minutes of audio is written in 16-bit resolution at a
sampling rate of 44.1kHz.

CD Extra: Audio, text, video and so on are written as a multisession disc.
Applications are wide and varied, including computer games and on-line
publishing.

Video CD: Up to 74 minutes of video and audio is compressed in MPEG
format for playback.

10

System Configuration

Tools

You will need the following tools at hand when installing the CRW6416S drive.

Philips Screwdriver

You will need to use this when removing the cover of your computer and when
mounting the drive. You may also need to temporarily remove the sound card to
gain access to the CD audio connectors. In which case a small screw retaining
the sound card’s face plate has to be removed.

Long-Nosed Pliers

You will need these to insert or remove the plastic jumper shunts when setting
the jumper switches at the back of the CRW6416S drive.

This section gives a step-by-step guide to installing the CRW6416S drive. Make
sure you have all the necessary tools.

First Steps

Once you have taken the CRW6416S drive out of its packaging, you should
immediately note down the serial number shown on the top of the drive
together with a barcode. There is a box below the following diagram in which
you can write down the serial number.

Before fitting the CRW6416S drive into the computer, you need to set up the
drive using the jumper switches located at the rear of the unit. You’ll need to set
the following:

● SCSI ID number

● Parity check

● Termination

● Block size

14

To set each jumper switch, you have to bridge the two pins in the respective

n 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.
