Introduction
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 writing error occurs. This error is known as a “buffer
underrun error.”

(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
ProtectionontheCRW2200 series is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless
recording between stop and continuation points.

If data transfer is

Yamaha Buffer Underrun Protection ensures error-free results.
Test-writing for Buffer Un de rrun
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 d epends on your computer system and the CD-R/
RW drive.
Most writing software includes test-writing functions to check the likely occurr ence of
Buffer Underrun before actually 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 Buffer Underrun Protection
should be set to OFF. (For more details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD
writing software.)
