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

• 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 per­sonnel:
Important Precautions
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 infor­mation losses resulting from the operation of the CDR400At.

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.
Introduction
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, Ses­sion at Once, and Packet Writing.

Page 8
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.

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 dia­gram below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number . The factory set ID number is “3”.
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 W indows 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 fr om 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.

2. Remove the cover from your computer.
Be careful not to lose the screws that were removed.
3. Your hands or body ma y be holding a c har ge of static elec­tricity . Touch a metallic portion of the chassis or power sup­ply to release any such charge.

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 dri v e 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).

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.

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.
