About IEEE13 94
IEEE13 94 is an indu str y standard ap p ro ved by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers). The serial interface has a broad bandwidth and is fast
enough to transfer large amounts of digital video and au dio data bi-directionally
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 for daisy-chaining devices (serial
connection) with data transfer possible between any two devices on the chain.
IEEE13 94 also suppor ts a tr e e ( parallel) connection of devices . I n addition to
this flexibility, IE EE 1 3 94 a lso eliminates the ne ed fo r co m p licate d setting s s uch
as device ID and termination as fou n d with SCS I (Small Com puter System
Interface) type interfaces. As of this writing, IEE E1394 supports three different
data transfer rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 400 Mbps.

Introduction
Buffer Underrun Defined
CD-R/RW drives are equippe d with buffer memory. This mem o r y temporarily
stores data while a disc is being recorded. When buffer memory becomes empty
(due to u ne xpected interruptions or the system’s inability to keep up with the
writing pr ocess), a writing er r o r occurs. This e rro r is k nown as a “b uffer
underrun error.”
➀➁➂
Data
Data is stored in
buffer memory...
and then written
to disc
If data transfer is
interrupted...
then buffer memory
begins to empty
When no data is left
in buffer memory...
(Buffer Underrun)
writing fails
(Buffer Underrun
Error)
A Buffe r Underrun E rr or will perman e ntly ruin the dis c.
Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection
Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in Yamaha’s CRW2200 series CD-R/
RW drives. When a b uffer underrun is abou t to occur, a bu ffer underrun error is
prevented by temp orarily suspe ndin g the wr iting pr oces s. W riting resum es w he n
enough data has accumulated again in buffer memory. Buffer Underrun
Protection on the CRW2200 series is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless
recording between stop a nd continuation points.
➀➁
If data transfer is
interrupted...
and buffer memory is
about to empty...
writing is suspended writing resumes
Once data transfer
resumes normally...
and enough data has accum ulated
in buffer memory...
Yamaha Buffer Underrun P rotection ensures error-free results.
Test-w ri ting for Buffer Underru n
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 depe nds on your computer syste m .
Most writing software includes test-writing f unctions to check the likely occurrence of
Buffer Underrun before actual ly 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 Buffe r Underrun Protection
should be set to OFF.

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-R OM form at:
CD-D A: Up to 79 minutes of stere o audio is written in 16-bit resolutio n at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz for a 79 minute disc.
Data CD: Up to 70 0 megabytes of computer data is stored in standard ISO966 0
format for a 700 MB d isc.
Video CD: These hold movies in which video and audio data has been
compressed using MP E G-1 technology.
About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)
Writing to a CD-R disc is no r mally done using the CLV (Constant Linear
Velocity) method. In th is method, the disc rotation speed is a djusted 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 ( C onstant Ang ula r Velocity) me th od uses a con s tant disc
rotation spe e d f or a ll portions of the disc so that the data transfer rate will vary.
Because the CAV method has the adva ntage of largely increasing the data
transfer rate w ith a m inimu m load to th e drive’ s mech anis m (com pare d to C LV’s
rotation speed adjustment), many current CD-ROM drives use the CAV method.
CD formats define the c onstant linear de nsity of written data (data sho uld be
written on to the disc at a constant pitch) so that the amo u n t o f r e c o r d e d data per
disc rotation w ill incr ea se a s th e w ritin g p o int m ov e s fro m th e inn er to th e ou ter.
In other words, in CA V writing, the o uter portion has an increased data transfer
rate.
The CRW2200IX drive uses the CAV me thod in the inn e r portions as we ll a s
the CLV m e tho d in the ou ter po rtio ns (P ar tial CA V) in order to enable up to
20X-spee d w ritin g. T he driv e will c on trol th e disc rota tion spe ed to sta rt w ritin g
at 12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerating up to 20X speed and
maintaining 20X spee d in the outer portion s.
