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.

P. 7)

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/
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.”

About the Orange Book

The Orange Book standa rd defines how all recordable discs (including CD-R and CD-RW ) are
written. Pa rt 2 of the Ora nge Book standard relates to CD-R discs, and Part 3 to CD-RW d iscs.
The standard was nam ed after the color of t he book ’s.

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.

Audio cable connection

Yamaha recommends connecting the audio cable before installing the SCSI
convertor for easy connecting.

4444

Connect the audio cable to the CRW2200 drive. (If necess ary)

You can play audio CDs on the CRW2200S and hear it through your computer’s
sound card.

Notes on playing audio CDs

• A udio is available from the headphone s or speakers connected to the headphone jack

located o n the front panel of t he CRW2200S (this is convenient if you have no sound card
in you r computer). In this case, you do not need to connect an audio cable.

• W hen creating an audio CD, if you us e the SCSI f lat cable to send the si gnal , you do not
need to connect an audio cable.

• If you use the CRW2200S as a suppl ement al drive for the unit, and the CD-R OM drive or
DVD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, YAMAHA recommends you
playback audio CDs using the exi sting drive.

There are two methods of connecting the unit and the sound card: an analog
connection and a digital co nnection.

Connecting the analog audio cable

Connectone end (the end which has one connector)of the included audio cable to
the ANALOG AUDIO OUT connector on the rear panel of the C RW22 00 drive.
Make sure to check the connector direction according to the figure below.

Connecting the digital audio cable

The digital connection for the CRW2200S is ideal for pure quality audio playback,
outputting digital signals recorded on CDs to the sound card without any distortion.

Examples of the digital connection

To ou tput digital audio signals to external devices, you must u se the digital connection to
connect the u ni t and the sound card. With t his conne ction you can:

• Enjoy music using a digital audio amplifier.

•RecordmusicdigitallywithanMDplayer.

Connect the digital audio cable to the DIGI TAL AU DIO OUT connector on the

➀

SCSI ID number

➁

Parity check

➂

To set each jumper switch, you have to bridge the two pins in the respective
column of the grid with a plastic shunt. Shunts are already attached to the jumper
switches in their default configurations.

➀ SCSI ID Number

Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its SCSI ID
number. You need to assign a number from “0” to “7” for each SCSI device.
Commonly, ID number “7” is reserved for the computer’s SCSI card itself.
Therefore, the CRW2200S can actually be assigned an ID number from “0” to
“6.” The ID number is set by attaching/detaching the shunts on the ID Select
jumper switches according to the diagram shown below.

E-IDE (ATAPI) Connection Set Up

Choosing the Connection Method

4444

First, check how existing IDE devices are connected to your computer,
and then determine how to connect the CRW2200E in conjunction with
those devices.

As a supplemental drive

If the casing of your computer has a spare 5.25-inch drive bay available, such as
with many tower-type designs, you can install the
the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive.

As a replacement drive

If the casing of your computer does not have a spare 5.25-inch drive bay
available, such as with many desktop-type designs, you can replace the
computer’s existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW2200E.

Note

You cannot replace the computer’s existing CD-ROM drive with the CRW2200E using the
existing cable if the drive is a SCSI type. In this case, use an IDE cable to connect the
CRW2200E.

E-IDE (ATAPI) Connection Set Up

About IDE

IDE (Enhance d IDE/E-IDE ) is one of the standards applied to the co nnection
between personal computer s and their peripher als. A computer motherb o ard
provides two IDE connecto rs (primary and secondary ). (Although, some
motherboar ds provide only a primary conne ctor.) You may connect up to two
IDE devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors u sing an
IDE cable. One of the devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and
the other is called “slave .”

Notes

• When you are using the IDE device as a master, connect the devic e to the conn ec to r of the
leading edge of the IDE cable, or you are using the device as a slave, connect the device to
the connector of th e middle of the IDE cable.

• When you connect two IDE devices to one IDE cable, assign each as MASTER or SLAVE
respectively. The CRW2200E is shipped with the SLAVE setting.

Typical IDE-type hardware installation

When replacing an existing I DE-ty pe drive to another Controller Port, you will
need to change the device settings (MASTER/SLAVE) .

Note

For details on settings, refer to the documentation that came with the device or the
manufacturer’s Home Page.

E-IDE (ATAPI) Connection Set Up

Notes

• When replacing an IDE-type hardware solely to a IDE cable, select master for the drive,
and c onnect it at the end of the cable.

• When the operating sy stem st a rts with the SCSI hard d r ive, a prim ar y I D E con nector may
have no IDE device s. In such a c ase , Yamah a recomme nds you connect the CRW2200E
as a primary master.

• When you connect the removed IDE-type hardware to the other connector of the cable,
some cables may h ave only one connector. In such a c ase , use the cable with two
connectors.

Set the CRW2200E as MASTER or SLAVE to meet your computer
environment by plugging the included plastic shunt into the appropriate
jumper switch on the rear panel of the CRW2200E.

Rear Panel

Master Slave (factory setting)

The CRW2200E is shipped with the SLAVE setting. Thus, you do not need to
reset the factory setting if you plan to use the CRW2200E as SLAVE. If you
connect the drive solely to the secondary IDE cable or replace the drive with an
existing master device, you need to reset the CRW2200E as MASTER.

Note

The plastic shunts actually contain metal for bridging the two pins of a jumper switch,
creating an electrical connection between them when attached. When removed, the jumper
switch is set to “OFF.” Store unused plastic shunts in a safe place where they will not be lost.

About the CSEL jumper switch

If your comput er supports the CSEL function, you can plug a plast ic shunt into this jumper
switch to have the computer automatically select MASTER or SLAVE fo r the CRW2200E.
However, we recommend using the MASTER or SLAVE jumper switch because the CSEL
function sometimes creates a conflict. Refer to the documentation that came with your
computer to check whether the computer supports the CSEL function.

Use a pair of long-nosed pliers to attach or detach the plastic shunts
accordingly. However, make sure that the computer is powered down
when doing so.

Connect the audio cable. (If necessary)

You can play audio CDs on the C RW2200E and listen through your computer’s
sound card.

Notes

• Audio is available from the headphones or speakers connected to the headphone jack

located on the front panel of the CRW2200E (this is convenient if you have no sound card
in your computer). In this case, you do not need to connect an audio cable.

• When creating an audio CD, if you use the IDE cable to send the signal, you do not need to
connect an audio cable.

• If you use the CRW2200E as a supplemental drive for the unit, and the CD-ROM drive or
DVD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, YAMAHA recommends you
playback audio CDs using the existing drive.

There are two methods of connecting the unit and the sound card: an analog
connection and a digital connection.

Connecting the analog audio cable

Connectone end (the end which has one connector)of the included audio cable to
the ANALOG AUDIO OUT connector on the rear panel of the CRW2200E.
Make sure to check the connector direction according to the figure below.
There are two connectors at the opposite end of the audio cable: a vertically­mounted type (PH) and a horizontally-mounted type (MPC). Choose the one that
matches your soundcard’s connector and leave the other free.

Some sound cards may have one or more a ud io input connector s.
However, dep en din g on your c onn ec to rs, the specifications may differ from the C RW2200E.
If no sound is audible from the speaker even though the audio cable is connected, refer to the
documentation that came with your sound card for more details, and make sure that your
audio cable is connectedcorrectly.
The ANALOG AUDIO OUT connector of the CRW2200E is shown in the figure on the
previous page.

Connecting the digital audio cable

The digital connection for the CRW2200E is ideal for pure quality audio
playback, outputting digital signals recorded on CDs to the sound card without
any distortion.

Examples of the digital connection

To ou tput digital audio signals to external devices, you must u se the digital connection to
connect the u ni t and the sound card. With t his conne ction you can:

• Enjoy music using a digital audio amplifier.

•RecordmusicdigitallywithanMDplayer.

Use the digital audio cable to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of
the unit and the SPDIF input connector (digital audio) of the sound card, making
sure of th e connector’s direction.

Only the first session of a multisession disc can be played back on a conventional audio CD
player. Single session discs can be played back completely.

Appendix

Session-at-Once (SAO)

As a writing method that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned “Disc-at­Once” and “Track-at-Once,” you can combine multiple tracks into one session and
write them, and then add additional data.
For example, this is the writing method used to create a CD EXTRA format CD. The
music tracks will be recorded in the first session, and the data will be recorded in the
second session.

Example: CD EXTRA

Packet Writing

This mode is used when writing to a track of a disc using small blocks of data called
“packets,” in a manner similar to a floppy disk. This mode is useful when making
small incremental backups of data. You will need to use software that specifically
supports packet writing, such as Adaptec’s Direct CD.

Packet

............

Same as writing to floppy or hard disk

Notes on Packet Writing

• D iscs must be formatted before they can be u sed for packet writing . With CD-RW, erased data
can be overwrittenuntil the disc is completely f ull.

• When using packet writing on a CD-RW disc, the actual data cap acit y is 100MB less than tha t
stated on the cover of the disc. The difference in capacity is dependen t on the writing mode.

• With CD-R, the space used by the erased data cannot be reused and is “masked” so that it is no
longer visible. T his can be done up to 100 times.
