SafeBurn™ (Enhanced write stability technology)
● Generous 8MB of buffer memory
Because of the large data storage area, stable disc w riting is possible even at fast
speeds.
● Buffer Underrun Protection
When data transfer from the host PC is interrupted, Buffer Underrun Protectionis
→
activated to keep precious CD-R discs from going to waste. (
P. 3)
● Optimum Write Speed Control
Before writing to a CD-R, the CRW2200 d rive checks the disc’s capability and
automatically selects the optimum writing speed for greater reliability.
Reliable writing
● Yamaha’s proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)
This technology reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it projects
accurately onto the disc. Jitter value, an important measure of recording quality,
has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this
technology.
● Running OPC (Optimum Power Control)
Running OPC automatically adjusts the output of the laser according to the
characteristics of the disc being used. Running OPC provides greatly enhanced
recording reliability for various manufacturer’s discs.
High-fidelity digital audio
The CRW2200 drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed, as
well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at
20X speed. Also, the built-in digital audio output is ideal for the pure transmission of
an audio signal when connected to the SPDIF (digital audio) input of the computer's
sound card.
CD TEXT support
Informationsuch as the song name or artist name can be recorded on Audio CDs
using CD creation software. The text data on the created disc can be displayed on a
CD player that is compatible with the CD TEXT format.

Buffer Underrun Defined
CD-R/RW drives are equipped with buffer memory. This memory temporarily
stores data while a disc is being recorded. When buffer memory becomes empty
(due to unexpected interruptions or the system’s inability to keep up with the
writing process), a write error occurs. This error is known as a “buffer underrun
error.”

A Buffer Underrun Error will permanently ruin the disc.
Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection
Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in Yamaha’s CRW2200 series CD-R/
RW drives. When a buffer underrun is about to occur, a buffer underrun error is
prevented by temporarily suspending the writing process. Writing resumes when
enough data has accumulated again in buffer memory. Buffer Underrun
Protection on the CRW2200 series is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless
recording between stop and continuation points.

Before Use
System Requirements
In order to use the CRW2200 drive, y our computer system will need to meet the
following requirements.
Note
The CRW2200 drive may not w rit e at the maximum s peed depending on your computer’s system
configuration.
PC/AT-Compatible Co m puter
CPU: Pentium II-cla ss or higher, 300MHz or faster.
RAM:32MB memory (64MB or more recommended).
Note
If you are using Windows 2000 Professional operating system, you need 64MB memory or more.
A vacant 5.25-inch drive bay slot (For supplemental drive).
These are also required for SCSI connection.
• A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).
• A PCI bus SCSI card (Ultra SCSI co mpatib le with an internal SCSI connector, s uch
as Adaptec’s AHA-2940 series recommended).
About SCSI cards
SCSI is a hardware interface that allows for the connection of peripheral devices to the computer.
To use a computer without a SCSI connection, insert a SCSI card into the appropriate PCI slot on your
computer. For information on how to install the SCSI card, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Operating System (OS)
Windows 95 (OSR2 or later), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows
Me, Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows 2000 Professional
CD Writing S o ftw are
The CRW2200 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 CRW2200 drive.
Note
For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the documentation that came with it.
Hard Drive Space
When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working a rea (5 0 to 100MB free
space) on the hard drive. If you wan t to create an i mage file containing all the data to
be written to the CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, y ou will need as
much hard drive space as that data (up to 900MB in total). However, this additional
hard d rive space for the image file is not needed when you are wr iting directly from a
hard drive or CD-ROM d rive, etc. (on-the-fly writing).
About disk image files
You can collect data files into a single disk image file for a CD-R/RW dis c. Also, note that an
image file is useful when writing multiple discs with the same content. For further details, refer to
the documentation that came with your CD writing software.

Before Use
Supported Discs
The CRW2200 drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:
CD-R discs
The CRW2200 drive can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X, or
20X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD
player.
*1
Notes
• 16X- or 20X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (→P. 6)
• For 8X or faster writing, use CD-R discs that match their respective writing
speeds.
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 CRW2200 drive can
write/rewriteat 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., CDROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”
High Speed CD-RW discs
Thesediscs allow writing/rewritingat 4X to 10X speeds.The CRW2200 drive
can write/rewrite these discs at 4X, 8X, or 10X speed. These discs can be read/

Before Use
About CD-ROMs
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 79 minutes of stereo audio is written in 16-bit resolution at a
sampling rate of 44.1kHz for a 79 minute disc.
Data CD: Up to 700 megabytes of computer data is stored in standard ISO9660
format for a 700MB disc.
Video CD: These hold movies in which the video and audio data has been
compressed using MPEG-1 technology.
About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)
Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using the 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, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method uses a constant disc
rotation speed for all portions of the disc so that the data transfer rate will vary.
Because the CAV method has the advantage of largely increasing the data
transfer rate with a minimum load to the drive’s mechanism (compared to CLV’s
rotation speed adjustment), many current CD-ROM drives use the 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 the 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 CRW2200 drive uses the CAV method in the inner portions as well as the
CLV method in the outer portions (Partial CAV) in order to enable up to 20Xspeed writing. The drive will control the disc rotation speed to start writing at
12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerating up to 20X speed and
maintaining 20X speed in the outer portions.
6
Before Use
About 10X-speed writing/rewriting of a High Speed CD-RW disc
10X-speed writing/rewriting of a High Speed CD-RW disc is enabled with the
CLV method, and the 4X-10X Full CAV method. Commonly, writing/rewriting
is enabled with the CLV method. When writing/rewriting with packet writing,
you can also select the Full CAV method. For more details, refer to the
documentation that came with your CD writing software. (Make sure that your
CD writing software supports the Full CAV method. The included CD writing
software is supported.) For direct editing of a file on a CD-RW disc, the Full
CAV method is recommended.
