Introduction
Features of the CRW2100IX Drive
High speed
The CRW2100IX drive supports up to 16X speed writing of a CD-R disc, and up to 10X speed writing of a CD-RW disc. For example, an audio CD (79 minutes/ 700MB) can be created in approximately 5 minutes. With newly adopted Partial CAV writing method (See the following column), you can write a disc by directly transferring content data from a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive. Data reading at up to 40X speed is supported.
Easy setup
Implementation of an IEEE1394 interface (also known as FireWire or i.LINK) eliminates the need for drive configurations (device ID, termination, and so on). You can connect and start using the drive whenever you wish without restarting your computer.
CD TEXT support
The CRW2100IX drive is compatible to CD TEXT format. Information such as the song name or artist name can be recorded using writing software. The text data on the disc you create can be displayed by a CD player that is compatible with CD TEXT.
Wide compatibility
To ensure compatibility with a wide range of discs, technical data has been exchanged with major disc manufacturers. 700MB discs are also supported.
High-fidelity audio
The CRW2100IX supports extracting digital audio data at up to 40X speed, as well as recording digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at 16X speed.
Reliable writing
Yamaha’s proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System*1 improves jitter values*2 to allow the signal to be recorded accurately. In addition, the 8MB buffer memory and Running OPC*3 technology further enhance reliability.
Optimum speed
The CRW2100IX drive can write at an optimum speed*4 if the CD-R disc does not allow 12Xor 16X-speed writing.

Introduction
*1. Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)
Technology that reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it shines accurately on the disc.
*2. Jitter value
An important measure of recording quality. This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology.
*3. Running OPC
CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc. Running OPC is technology that solves this problem by automatically adjusting the output of the laser according to the material of the disc on which data is being written.
*4 If you attempt to write at 16X or 12X speed but the CRW2100IX drive detects that the quality of a target CD-R disc and other things are inappropriate for such speeds, the drive will automatically slow down the writing speed optimally for the disc.
About IEEE1394
IEEE1394 is an industry standard approved by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). The serial interface has a broad bandwidth and is fast enough to bidirectionally transfer large amounts of digital video and audio data between electronic devices including computer peripherals. Also known as FireWire and i.LINK, the IEEE1394 interface allows units to transfer data or various controls over a single IEEE1394 interface cable. Unlike legacy serial interfaces such as RS-232C, IEEE1394 allows a daisy-chaining (serial connection) of devices and any two devices in the chain can transfer data to each other. IEEE1394 also supports a tree (parallel) connection of devices. In addition to this flexibility, IEEE1394 also eliminates the need for complicated settings as found in SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), such as device ID and termination. As of writing, IEEE1394 supports three different data transfer rates: 100Mbps, 200Mbps, and 400Mbps.
About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method. In this method, the disc rotation speed will be so adjusted 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, CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method uses a constant disc rotation speed at any portion of the disc whereas the data transfer rate will vary. Because CAV method has an advantage to largely increase the data transfer rate with a minimum load to the drive’s mechanism (compared to CLV’s rotation speed adjustment), many of current CD-ROM drives use CAV method.
CD formats define the constant linear density of written data (data should be written onto the disc track in the constant pitch) so that 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 CRW2100IX drive uses CAV method in the inner portions as well as CLV method in the outer portions (Partial CAV) in order to enable up to 16X-speed writing. The drive will control the disc rotation speed to start writing at 12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerating up to 16X speed and maintaining 16X speed in the outer portions.

Windows Users
●Computer
PC/AT-compatible computers
CPU: Pentium II, 300MHz or faster. RAM: 64MB or more.
IEEE1394 port: At least one IEEE1394 port is required.
nThis port may be a built-in (onboard) type, or provided with a PCI expansion card or a CardBus card. If you newly install an IEEE1394 PCI or CardBus interface card, your computer should have an empty PCI expansion slot or a CardBus slot. For more information about the IEEE1394 interface card, refer to “IEEE1394 Interface Card (PCI or CardBus)” shown below.
●Operating System (OS)
Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional
●CD Writing Software
The CRW2100IX drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc. When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2100IX drive.
nFor details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
●CD-ROM Drive
You may need another CD-ROM drive for any CD-related operations (playback of an audio CD, installation from CD-ROM, and so on) until you verify that the CRW2100IX is successfully installed. Also you may need another CD-ROM drive if you are planning to copy a CD-ROM directly to a CD-R/RW disc on the CRW2100IX drive.
nThe CRW2100IX cannot boot your computer with a CD-ROM containing the operating system, so that the unit cannot be used for installation of the operating system.
●IEEE1394 Interface Card (PCI or CardBus)
For the CRW2100IX to work properly with your computer, your IEEE1394 interface card must be OHCI compliant. As of writing, Yamaha has verified compatibility with following cards:
|
Manufacturer |
Product |
Card Type |
|
Advansys |
ASB30400 |
PCI |
3 SIIG |
NN2603 |
PCI |
|
Before Use
nFor latest information about approved IEEE1394 interface cards, check YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive web site at http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/.
nSome IEEE1394 interface cards may not work properly with your computer. If you newly purchase and install the interface card, make sure of the compatibility not only with your computer, but also with the CRW2100IX drive.
nIf you already have an IEEE1394 interface card installed and working properly on your computer, there might be cases of incompatibility with your new CRW2100IX drive. In such cases, make sure that your computer system meets above requirements, and also the interface card is compatible with the CRW2100IX drive.
Macintosh Users
●Computer
Macintosh computers with a built-in FireWire port CPU: PowerPC G3, 300MHz or faster.
RAM: 64MB or more.
●Operating System
Mac OS 8.6, 9 or later.
nFireWire software version 2.2.2 or later is recommended for the CRW2100IX to work properly. The latest software is available from Apple support web site.
●CD Writing Software
The CRW2100IX drive requires CD writing software to write to a CD-R/RW disc. When you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports the CRW2100IX drive.
nFor details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
●CD-ROM Drive
You may need another CD-ROM drive for any CD-related operations (playback of an audio CD, installation from CD-ROM, and so on) until you verify that the CRW2100IX is successfully installed. Also you may need another CD-ROM drive if you are planning to copy a CD-ROM directly to a CD-R/RW disc on the CRW2100IX drive.
nThe CRW2100IX cannot boot your computer with a CD-ROM containing the operating system, so that the unit cannot be used for installation of the operating system.
Hard Drive Space (Windows and Macintosh Users)
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100MB free space) on the hard drive. When creating an image file for all data to write to a CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as much hard drive space as that data (up to 900MB in total). However, such hard drive space for the image file is not needed when you are directly writing from a hard drive, CD-ROM drive or so on (on-the-fly writing). In any case of writing to a CD-R/ RW disc, you will need a 50 to 100MB working area on your hard drive.
n Data is written to a 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 in your hard drive as
an image file.
