1. INTRODUCTION
1.1) Welcome to Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive family
Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive.
Bringing a new dimension to your PC’s capabilities and performance, Yamaha’s 3-in-1
CD-RW drives are designed for recording, re-writing, and playing CDs. Used primarily for
CD duplication, data storage, back-up, and transferring data, CD-RW drives are quickly
becoming mainstream in today’s computers. No other storage medium is so cost effective.
No other medium can be read by over 300 million computers worldwide. And no other
medium lets you record music and play it back on your home stereo or in your car.
Yamaha makes the CD-ReWritable drives that every other drive is compared to. Yamaha
quality, reliability, features, bundled software, and reputation are the reasons.

record your images on CDs and free your hard drive space for other uses.
Backup and Archive: Save critical information in the least expensive way. For just
pennies per megabyte, you can copy files to CD-ReWritable media or archive valuable
information for future reference. CDs are recognized as the most reliable, long-lasting
medium to store data. Plus, unlike other media used for backup or archiving, the information
stored on a CD is instantly accessible.
Distribute and Transfer Data: Send multimedia presentations and catalogs with highresolution images and CD-quality sound to anyone. With Yamaha CD-ReWritable drives,
you do not have to worry about media compatibility. Any ordinary CD-ROM drive can read
the data you store on a CD-R media using a CD-ReWritable drive.
1.2.3) CD-ReWritable Drives vs. CD-Recordable Drives
All Yamaha CD-RW drives are “multi-function” or “3-in-1” drives. This means that your new
drive may be used as a CD-R drive (to write once on CD-R media), a CD-RW drive
(to rewrite up to 999 times on CD-RW media), or as a CD-ROM drive (to play audio or
computer CDs).
1.2.4) How CD-RW Drives Write and Re-Write
To write on CD-R media, CD-RW drives write data by burning tiny pits into a green, gold,
or blue dye layer. The disc is read by a head which is simply looking for the absence or
presence of reflected laser light.
To re-write on CD-RW media, CD-RW drives write data by altering the alignment of crystalline structures in the media. When the disc is read by a laser, these changes in the
crystalline structure alter the phase of the effected light. The disc can be “wiped clean”
in an erase process that realigns the crystalline elements.
Your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive automatically recognizes and accommodates whatever
CD media is inserted. For better clarification, please study the table below:

CD-R discs
The CRW2100 drives can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, or
16X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD
player.
16X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. See page 6
When writing at 8X or faster speeds, use “high-speed writing
capable” discs.
CD-RW discs
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
CRW2100 drives 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
These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2100
drives 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.”
10X-speed writing is enabled with Full CAV method.
• 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.
• Refer to the page at the URL below before attempting to
read these discs on a Yamaha CD-R/RW drive not bearing
the High Speed CD-RW logo.

1.2.5) About CD-R and CD-RW Discs
Important Note: 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.

1.2.6) About Partial CAV Writing Method
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method. In this
method, the disc’s rotation speed is adjusted continuously to keep a steady data transfer rate.
The data transfer rate, in the CLV method, is held constant but, because of the smaller size of the
inner circles of the disc versus the large outer circles, the disc speed is adjusted depending upon
which portion of the disc data is being recorded on (i.e. if recording on the inner edge versus the
outer edge, the disc should rotate faster to keep up with the data transfer rate - which is held
steady throughout the writing cycle.)
In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method keeps the disc’s roatation speed constant while adjusting the data transfer rate depending upon which portion of the disc is being
recorded. In other words, in the CAV writing method, the outer portion of the disc should
receive an increased data transfer rate compared to the inner portion. Applying the CAV
method enables a significant increase in the data transfer rates with a minimum load increase to
the drive’s mechanism.
Yamaha’s new CRW2100 Lightspeed drives use the CAV method in the inner portions of the
disc while using CLV method in the outer portions of the disc in order to enable up to 16x of
writing speed. This is called a Partial CAV method.

3.2) About SCSI Controllers
The Yamaha CRW2100SZ package does not include a SCSI host adapter card. A host
adapter card provides the interface between your PC and various peripheral devices. A
wide range of cards are available with various levels of performance, features and price. If
you plan to add peripherals such as scanners or external hard drives, you may want a
more capable host adapter. If, on the other hand, you plan to use the host adapter only to
connect this CD-RW, you may prefer a more economical controller. Yamaha recommends
Iwill 2930c / 2930u+ PCI SCSI controllers or Adaptec’s AHA29xx/AHA39xx families of SCSI
cards.
You can purchase SCSI controller cards from your local computer peripheral retailer or you may
contact Yamaha toll-free at 888-926-2426 to purchase a compatible SCSI controller card.
Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card, install it in your computer following the
directions provided in the card manufacturer’s operating manual.
3.3) CRW2100SZ (SCSI) Drive Settings
Before installing your new CD-RW drive in your computer, you will need to set the
following jumpers:
• SCSI ID settings
• Parity setting
• Terminator setting
• Block size setting
You may set these jumpers by inserting a jumper pin in the jumper switch located on the
rear panel of your CD-RW drive.
Important Note: 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.
3.3.1) Rear Panel of CRW2100SZ (SCSI)
The CRW2100SZ drive’s rear panel features the following.
3.3.2) Setting the SCSI ID Number of Your New Yamaha CD-RW Drive
The default factory setting for the SCSI ID Number is 3. For most installations, no adjustment of the SCSI ID number is necessary.
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 your new CD-RW drive below for more information on
setting the SCSI ID number. The factory set ID number is “3”.

connected SCSI device.
• Terminator ON (with a jumper): Use this setting if your new CD-RW drive is the last
device in the internal SCSI daisy-chain.
• Terminator OFF (without a jumper): Use this setting if devices other than your new CDRW drive are in the internal SCSI daisy-chain and your new drive is not the last device.
* Use jumper connectors to short the locations shown in black.
For example, in the SCSI device Connection diagram on the previous page, device D will
have an ON SCSI terminator while device C will have an OFF SCSI terminator.
3.3.5) Block Size Setting of your new 3-in-1 CD-RW Drive
• Block size ON (with a jumper): Block Size is set to 512Byte/sector. This function is valid

4.2) About the E-IDE (ATAPI) Interface
The most common standard for connecting internal hard drives and CD-ROM drives inside a
PC is the E-IDE (ATAPI) interface.
E-IDE or Enhanced IDE computers normally have two IDE interface connectors; a primary
and a secondary. Each IDE interface connector allows up to two IDE devices to be connected for a total of four IDE devices. Typically, a hard disk is connected to the primary connector while a CD-ROM drive is attached to the secondary connector.
Important Note : Avoid connecting your new CD-RW 3-in-1 drive to the same primary IDE connector as the
one connected to your hard drive if possible. Select the secondary connector that may be connected to your
CD-ROM drive. But, if you must connect it to the primary connector, make sure there is only one device (your
hard drive) selected as MASTER and all other devices are selected as SLAVE.

4.2.2) Setting the Jumper to Select MASTER, SLAVE or CSEL settings
Your new Yamaha CD-RW 3-in-1 drive setting is configured as SLAVE by default. Most
users will connect their new CD-RW drive to the secondary E-IDE controller of their computer (see section 4.2 for more information) in which case there is no need to change the
default setting. However, a jumper is provided on the rear panel of your new CD-RW 3-in-1
drive to configure it to work in various situations (see page 13 as well).
MASTER - Change the jumper switch to the MASTER position if:
• You’ll be replacing your system’s existing CD-ROM drive with your new Yamaha CD-RW
drive. In this case, you need to disconnect your CD-ROM drive’s secondary IDE controller
and power cable and then plug in your new CD-RW drive using the same IDE controller
and power cable.
• This drive will be the only IDE drive installed in the computer. Bear in mind that this is
somewhat unusual unless your computer is using a SCSI hard disk drive and a SCSI
CD-ROM drive.
• The drive will be used in a specialized application with multiple Yamaha CD-RW 3-in-1
or multiple CD-RW drives. In this case, only one drive would be the MASTER. The other
drives should be selected as SLAVES.
Note: If adding your new Yamaha CD-RW drive to a system already equipped with a DVD-ROM or high
speed CD-ROM drive, you may want to proceed with the following configuration if you encounter
problems: Turn off your computer. Remove your DVD-ROM or high speed CD-ROM drive from the secondary
IDE connector where it is most likely connected to. Install your Yamaha CD-RW drive (with its default,
MASTER jumper setting) on the secondary controller where your DVD-ROM was once installed (replacing it).
Reset the jumper switch of your DVD-ROM from MASTER (or CSEL) to SLAVE. Add your DVD-ROM drive to
your Primary IDE contoller (the controller connected to your hard disk). Use the included 3-connector
ribbon cable to replace your primary IDE connector cable if needed.

SLAVE • Leave the jumper switch at SAVE postion if:
• Your new Yamaha CD-RW drive will be connected to the secondary E-IDE controller (to
which your system’s existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is connected). This is the most
common configuration and you are recommended to connect your new CD-RW to your
computer’s secondary E-IDE controller.
• You intend to connect your new CD-RW drive to your computer’s primary E-IDE controller
(to which your computer’s hard disk is connected).
To connect your new CD-RW drive to the secondary E-IDE controller (your CD-ROM or DVDROM is likely connected to the secondary E-IDE controller), you do not need to change the
default setting (SLAVE). Changing the setting to the MASTER position will provide your new
Yamaha recorder priority over your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives.
CSEL - Cable SELect or CSEL is a function that automatically selects the correct MASTER/
SLAVE setting. Not all computers support CSEL. Use the CSEL position only if you are sure
your computer supports CSEL.
Important Note: If installing your new Yamaha CD-RW drive in a PC equipped with a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive that features CSEL (in which case the jumper switch on that drive will be set on CSEL), you may encounter
problems (such as a blue error screen) when attempting to record a CD using a CD recording software. In such
a case turn off your computer, remove the cover, and then reposition the jumper switch of your existing
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive from its CSEL configuration to the MASTER setting. Leave your new Yamaha
drive’s setting on SLAVE. If still encountering problems, set the DVD-ROM drive to SLAVE & set the Yamaha
drive to MASTER.
