1.2.2) Main Applications for Yamaha’s 3-in-1 CD-RW Series of Drives:

Music: Record your own original music on CDs or compile your favorite songs and create new Audio CDs.

Images & Graphics: Most scanned or digital photos, digital video and computer generated graphics are notoriously large to record on contemporary, portable media. Now you can record your images on CDs and free your hard drive space for other uses.

Backup and Archive: Save critical information in the least expensive way. For just pennies per megabyte, you can copy files to CD-ReWritable media or archive valuable information for future reference. CDs are recognized as the most reliable, long-lasting medium to store data. Plus, unlike other media used for backup or archiving, the information stored on a CD is instantly accessible.

Distribute and Transfer Data: Send multimedia presentations and catalogs with highresolution images and CD-quality sound to anyone. With Yamaha CD-ReWritable drives, you do not have to worry about media compatibility. Any ordinary CD-ROM drive can read the data you store on a CD-R media using a CD-ReWritable drive.

1.2.3) CD-ReWritable Drives vs. CD-Recordable Drives

All Yamaha CD-RW drives are “multi-function” or “3-in-1” drives. This means that your new drive may be used as a CD-R drive (to write once on CD-R media), a CD-RW drive

(to rewrite on CD-RW media), or as a CD-ROM drive (to play audio or computer CDs).

1.2.4) How CD-RW Drives Write and Re-Write

To write on CD-R media, CD-RW drives write data by burning tiny pits into a green, gold, or blue dye layer. The disc is read by a head which is simply looking for the absence or presence of reflected laser light.

To re-write on CD-RW media, CD-RW drives write data by altering the alignment of crystalline structures in the media. When the disc is read by a laser, these changes in the crystalline structure alter the phase of the effected light. The disc can be “wiped clean”

in an erase process that realigns the crystalline elements.

Your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive automatically recognizes and accommodates whatever CD media is inserted. For better clarification, please study the table below:

	Format Function	CD-R		CD-RW
	Compatibility?	Nearly all CD-ROM drives		CD-RW drives
		Audio CD Players		MultiRead(MR) enabled CD-ROM

1.2.5) About CD-R and CD-RW Discs

CD-R discs

The CRW2200 drives 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.

16X-20X speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. See page 6

When writing at 8X or faster speeds, use “high-speed writing capable” discs.

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 drives can write/rewrite at 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., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”

High Speed CD-RW discs

These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200 drives 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.”

10X-speed writing is enabled with Full CAV method.

•In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/ RW drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must be used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs, the drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.

•If these discs are used in a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in the computer not operating correctly or other malfunctions occurring.

•Refer to the page at the URL below before attempting to read these discs on a Yamaha CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo.

Important Note: The Orange Book standard defines how all recordable discs (including CD-R and CD-RW) are written. Part 2 of the Orange Book standard relates to CD-R discs, and Part 3 to CD-RW discs. The standard was named after the color of the book’s pages.

1.2.6) About Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) Writing Method

Writing to a CD-R disc is normally done using CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method. In this method, the disc’s rotation speed is adjusted continuously to keep a steady data transfer rate. The data transfer rate, in the CLV method, is held constant but, because of the smaller size of the inner circles of the disc versus the large outer circles, the disc speed is adjusted depending upon which portion of the disc data is being recorded on (i.e. if recording on the inner edge versus the outer edge, the disc should rotate faster to keep up with the data transfer rate - which is held steady throughout the writing cycle.)

In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method keeps the disc’s roatation speed constant while adjusting the data transfer rate depending upon which portion of the disc is being recorded. In other words, in the CAV writing method, the outer portion of the disc should receive an increased data transfer rate compared to the inner portion. Applying the CAV method enables a significant increase in the data transfer rates with a minimum load increase to the drive’s mechanism.

Yamaha’s new CRW2200 Lightspeed2 drives use the CAV method in the inner portions of the disc while using CLV method in the outer portions of the disc in order to enable up to 20x of writing speed. This is called a Partial CAV method.The drive will control the disc rotation speed to start writing at 12X speed in the inner portions, gradually accelerting up to 20X speed and maintaining 20X speed in the outer portions.

1.2.7) 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 writing software. (Make sure that your writing software supports the Full CAV method. The supplied writing software is supported.)

When you try to open and use a file recorded on a CD-RW disc with an application, Yamaha recommends you using the Full CAV method.

1.2.8) What is “Buffer Underrun”

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”.

	Data is stored in	If data transfer is
	buffer memory...	interrupted...
		when no data is left
		in buffer memory...
		(Buffer underrun)
	and then written	then buffer memory
	to disc	begins to empty
		Writing fails
		(buffer Underrun
		Error)

A Buffer Underrun error will permanently ruin the disc.

1.2.9) 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.

If data transfer is	Once data transfer

and buffer memory is

about to empty

3.2) About SCSI Controllers

The Yamaha CRW2200SZ package does not include a SCSI host adapter card. A host adapter card provides the interface between your PC and various peripheral devices. A wide range of cards are available with various levels of performance, features and price. If you plan to add peripherals such as scanners or external hard drives, you may want a more capable host adapter. If, on the other hand, you plan to use the host adapter only to connect this CD-RW, you may prefer a more economical controller. Yamaha recommends Iwill 2930c / 2930u+ PCI SCSI controllers or Adaptec’s AHA29xx/AHA39xx families of SCSI cards.

You can purchase SCSI controller cards from your local computer peripheral retailer or you may contact Yamaha toll-free at 888-926-2426 to purchase a compatible SCSI controller card.

Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card, install it in your computer following the directions provided in the card manufacturer’s operating manual.

3.3) CRW2200SZ (SCSI) Drive Settings

Before installing your new CD-RW drive in your computer, you will need to set the following jumpers:

•SCSI ID settings

•Parity setting

•Terminator setting

•Block size setting

You may set these jumpers by inserting a jumper pin in the jumper switch located on the rear panel of your CD-RW drive.

Important Note: Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert jumper connectors. In the diagrams in this manual, solid black fill is used to indicate locations where a jumper is used to short between pins.

3.3.2) Setting the SCSI ID Number of Your New Yamaha CD-RW Drive

The default factory setting for the SCSI ID Number is 3. For most installations, no adjustment of the SCSI ID number is necessary.

Important Note: Turn off the power before setting the SCSI ID number.

The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a connected SCSI device. You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID number. Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and “0” is reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain.

Use a number between 1 and 6 for your new CD-RW drive below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The factory set ID number is “3”.

11

Important Note: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID number for each device.

SCSI ID Setting:

	1 2 4						1 2 4													1 2 4							1 2 4

SCSI ID 0 SCSI ID 1 SCSI ID 2 SCSI ID 3

1 2 4 1 2 4 1 2 4 1 2 4

SCSI ID 4

SCSI ID 5

SCSI ID 6

SCSI ID 7

* Use jumper connectors to short the locations shown in black.

Important Note: If you are using Window 95, 98, or ME and the SCSI ID setting on the rear panel is the same as the number assigned to another SCSI device, the Plug and Play component of Windows 95, 98 or ME can automatically assign an unused number to your new CD-RW drive (SCAM protocol level 1- if SCAM is enabled).

Please refer to the SCSI Device Connection Diagram (illustration below) for a practical example of how SCSI devices may be set to function together.

3.3.3) Parity Setting of your new 3-in-1 CD-RW Recorder

•Parity ON (with a jumper): Parity Check will be performed. Normally, use this setting.

•Parity OFF (without a jumper): Parity Check will not be performed.

4.2) About the E-IDE (ATAPI) Interface

The most common standard for connecting internal hard drives and CD-ROM drives inside a PC is the E-IDE (ATAPI) interface.

E-IDE or Enhanced IDE computers normally have two IDE interface connectors; a primary and a secondary. Each IDE interface connector allows up to two IDE devices to be connected for a total of four IDE devices. Typically, a hard disk is connected to the primary connector while a CD-ROM drive is attached to the secondary connector.

Important Note : Avoid connecting your new CD-RW 3-in-1 drive to the same primary IDE connector as the one connected to your hard drive if possible. Select the secondary connector that may be connected to your CD-ROM drive. But, if you must connect it to the primary connector, make sure there is only one device (your hard drive) selected as MASTER and all other devices are selected as SLAVE.

4.2.1) Rear panel of CRW2200EZ (E-IDE)

The CRW2200EZ drive’s rear panel features the following:

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector

If your sound card has a digital audio input, you can connect this connector to that digital input using a digital audio cable (sold separately).

IDE INTERFACE connector

15

4.2.2) Setting the Jumper to Select MASTER, SLAVE or CSEL settings

Your new Yamaha CD-RW 3-in-1 drive setting is configured as SLAVE by default. Most users will connect their new CD-RW drive to the secondary E-IDE controller of their computer (see section 4.2 for more information) in which case there is no need to change the default setting. However, a jumper is provided on the rear panel of your new CD-RW 3-in-1 drive to configure it to work in various situations (see page 15 as well).

MASTER - Change the jumper switch to the MASTER position if:

•You’ll be replacing your system’s existing CD-ROM drive with your new Yamaha CD-RW drive. In this case, you need to disconnect your CD-ROM drive’s secondary IDE controller and power cable and then plug in your new CD-RW drive using the same IDE controller and power cable.

•This drive will be the only IDE drive installed in the computer. Bear in mind that this is somewhat unusual unless your computer is using a SCSI hard disk drive and a SCSI CD-ROM drive.

•The drive will be used in a specialized application with multiple Yamaha CD-RW 3-in-1 or multiple CD-RW drives. In this case, only one drive would be the MASTER. The other drives should be selected as SLAVES.

Note: If adding your new Yamaha CD-RW drive to a system already equipped with a DVD-ROM or high speed CD-ROM drive, you may want to proceed with the following configuration if you encounter problems: Turn off your computer. Remove your DVD-ROM or high speed CD-ROM drive from the secondary IDE connector where it is most likely connected to. Install your Yamaha CD-RW drive (with its default, MASTER jumper setting) on the secondary controller where your DVD-ROM was once installed (replacing it). Reset the jumper switch of your DVD-ROM from MASTER (or CSEL) to SLAVE. Add your DVD-ROM drive to your Primary IDE contoller (the controller connected to your hard disk). Use the included 3-connector ribbon cable to replace your primary IDE connector cable if needed.
