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 high-

resolution 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:

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. URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/

1.2.5) About CD-R and CD-RW Discs

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 Lightspeed 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”.

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.

1.2.9) 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.

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.

3.3.1) Rear Panel of CRW2200SZ (SCSI)

The CRW2200SZ drive’s rear panel features the following.

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.

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”.

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

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:

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.

PUSH

OFF

SLAVE • Leave the jumper switch at SAVE postion if:

• Your new Yamaha CD-RW drive will be connected to the secondary E-IDE controller (to

which your system’s existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is connected). This is the most common configuration and you are recommended to connect your new CD-RW to your computer’s secondary E-IDE controller.

• You intend to connect your new CD-RW drive to your computer’s primary E-IDE controller (to which your computer’s hard disk is connected).

To connect your new CD-RW drive to the secondary E-IDE controller (your CD-ROM or DVDROM is likely connected to the secondary E-IDE controller), you do not need to change the default setting (SLAVE). Changing the setting to the MASTER position will provide your new Yamaha recorder priority over your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives.

CSEL - Cable SELect or CSEL is a function that automatically selects the correct MASTER/ SLAVE setting. Not all computers support CSEL. Use the CSEL position only if you are sure your computer supports CSEL.

Important Note: If installing your new Yamaha CD-RW drive in a PC equipped with a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive that features CSEL (in which case the jumper switch on that drive will be set on CSEL), you may encounter problems (such as a blue error screen) when attempting to record a CD using a CD recording software. In such a case turn off your computer, remove the cover, and then reposition the jumper switch of your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive from its CSEL configuration to the MASTER setting. Leave your new Yamaha drive’s setting on SLAVE. If still encountering problems, set the DVD-ROM drive to SLAVE & set the Yamaha drive to MASTER.

5. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW 3-IN-1 CD-RW DRIVE

Make sure the following items are ready before proceeding with the installation of your new CD-RW drive (see illustration).

• Phillips screwdriver • A pair of pliers • Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive

• Installation CD-ROM disc • This Quick Start Guide

Installing your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive is quite simple. Please follow the instructions on the next page patiently, step-by-step.

1. Before attempting to install your 3-in-1 CD-RW drive, turn off your computer by flipping

the power switch to the OFF position. Unplug the power cord as well.

2. Remove the cover of your computer carefully to allow access to the inside of the computer

(Consult your computer’s operating manual for information on removing the cover.)

3. Before touching any of the components inside your computer, first ground yourself

by touching the metal case of your computer. This will prevent the unwanted discharge of static electricity.

4. Select an available drive bay that can hold your new 3-in-1 CD-RW drive. Most computers

have a blank cover plate over the empty drive bay. These plates typically snap into place although some may be secured by screws. Consult your computer’s documentation and then remove the cover plate.

Drain any static charge

Note 1: To install your new 3-in-1 CD-RW drive, you need an empty drive bay. If you plan to use an existing drive bay currently occupied by a CD-ROM drive, you must first remove the driver software for that drive and then turn off your computer and remove the drive. Then, turn on the computer again, making sure that your system recognizes that the old drive is no longer there. Turn off the computer again and start the installation process of your new 3-in-1 CD-RW drive from the beginning.

Note 2: The drive bays of most computers accommodate any Yamaha CD-RW drive directly. However, some computers may require an accessory rail or mounting bracket. These components are available from your computer’s manufacturer or your local computer hardware store.

5. Your Yamaha CD-RW drive is protected in a poly bag. Ground yourself again and then

remove the drive slowly from its poly bag. Make sure you hold your 3-in-1 CD-RW drive by its main case and not the tray or front panel.

6. Locate the serial number label, as shown on page 6, and write down the serial number

of your 3-in-1 CD-RW drive. This serial number is required for product registration, as well as for any type of technical and customer service.

7. Slide your 3-in-1 CD-RW drive into the drive bay. Do not force the CD-RW drive in if

you feel it does not fit the slot. Repeat step 4 and study the illustration carefully.

8. If space is tight inside your computer, you may wish to connect the audio output cable,

the power supply cable, and the ribbon cable before sliding your CD-RW 3-in-1 drive all the way into the bay.

9. Connect one end of the the supplied audio cable to the audio output (audio out) of your 3-in-1 CD-RW drive. Connect the other end of the audio cable to your soundcard. Do not force in the connector heads. Gently try to insert the connector heads in after determining their correct orientation. Please note that some soundcards may only have one internal audio input which is probably occupied by the audio output of your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive already. If this is the case, it is best to leave the existing drive connected to the soundcard.

Note 3: Your new Yamaha CD-RW drive will be fully functional without any connection to the soundcard. The only exception is that you will not be able to play an audio CD on your new CD-RW drive and hear it through your soundcard. You will be able to listen to an audio CD by connecting a headphone to the headphone jack located on the front panel of the new CD-RW drive. Of course, you can still playback an audio CD on your CDROM drive.

If you are planing to replace your existing CD-ROM drive with your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive, please refer to Note 1 highlighted on page 19.

10. Your new CD-RW drive will be connected to your computer via a ribbon cable. For CRW2200SZ, we have included a 3-connector SCSI ribbon cable. For CRW2200EZ, we have included a 3-connector E-IDE ribbon cable.

11. If you are installing a SCSI drive in your system, chances are that you already have other SCSI devices in your computer as well. If so, the SCSI ribbon cable in your computer may already have a spare connector and you may skip to Section A,

step 16

(see below). If not, please proceed to Section A - SCSI

Models, step 12 (see below).

If you are installing an E-IDE drive in your system, chances are that your computer may already have an IDE cable with a spare connector. If so, you may skip to Section B, step 15 (see next page). If not, please proceed to Section B - E-IDE Models, step 12 (see next page).

Section A - SCSI Models

Important Note: Before proceeding further, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the cable and review the

information in "About SCSI Controllers" on page 8.

12. If your CD-ROM drive is connected to your SCSI card, make a note of the position of the colored wire on your existing SCSI cable. Carefully and gently disconnect the original SCSI ribbon cable from your existing CD-ROM drive. In the same manner, disconnect the other end of the cable from your SCSI controller card.

13. It is now time to replace the original ribbon cable with the three-connector ribbon cable provided in this package. On most computers, the connectors are keyed in such a way that it is impossible to install this cable incorrectly. However, this may not be the case with your computer.

14. To ensure that both ends of the cable are correctly connected, make sure that the colored wire and the Pin 1 arrow are lined up with Pin 1 of the SCSI controller card and drive connectors. Also, make sure that the cable connector is properly aligned with the mating connector before you apply pressure to seat the connector.

15. Connect one end of the new ribbon cable to your SCSI controller card. Connect the middle connector or the other end to your existing CD-ROM drive (If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive). Make sure all are seated correctly and then carefully apply pressure to secure them in place.

16. Connect the SCSI ribbon cable to your new Yamaha CD-RW as illustrated below. Please note that your CD-RW drive has an arrow on the right side of the SCSI connector. This arrow should point to the color (usually red or pink) line on the SCSI cable. Connect the other end of the ribbon cable to the SCSI controller card. Your new Yamaha CD-RW drive is designed to accept the SCSI ribbon cable only at its correct orientation. Do not force the ribbon in if you feel it does not fit the slot. Refer back to step 10 and repeat the process described.

Please proceed to page 23 step 17, to continue installation of your SCSI model recorder.

Section B - E-IDE Models

Important Note: Most CD-ROM drives are connected to IDE controllers. If so, you do not need to disconnect

your CD-ROM drive.

12. It is now time to replace your computer’s original IDE ribbon cable with the three connector E-IDE ribbon cable provided in the package. On most computers, the connectors are keyed in such a way that it is impossible to install this cable incorrectly. However, this may not be the case in your computer.

13. To ensure that the cable is correctly connected, make sure that the colored wire and the Pin 1 arrow are lined up with Pin 1 of the IDE controller or the IDE connector on the motherboard and drive connectors. Also, make sure that the cable connector is properly aligned with the mating connector before you apply pressure to seat the connector.

14. Connect one end of the new ribbon cable to your computer's IDE controller or the IDE connector on the motherboard. Connect the middle connector or the other end to your existing CD-ROM drive. Make sure both are seated correctly and then apply some pressure to completely secure them in place.

15. Connect the IDE ribbon cable (either the end or the middle connector) to your new CD-RW 3-in-1 drive. Please note that your CD-RW drive has an arrow on the right side of the IDE connector (see illustration below). This arrow should point to the red line on the IDE cable. Your CD-RW drive is designed to accept the IDE ribbon only at its correct orientation. Do not force the ribbon in if you feel it does not fit the slot. Refer back to step 10 and repeat the process described.

1. Reconnect your monitor, mouse, keyboard and AC power cord to your PC.

2. Turn your computer on by flipping the switch to the ON position. Look for the LED light

located on the front panel of the CD-RW drive to lit up.

3. Your computer should now boot-up normally. Wait for Windows 95/98/ME to load

in its usual way.

4. When using Windows 95/98/ME, after the computer’s operating system has loaded,

open the “Control Panel” and double-click on the “System” icon. Select the “Device Manager” tab and double-click on “CDROM.” If the drive has been correctly installed, it should be listed as shown in the figure below.

*This is a screen shown in the Windows 98 Second Edition

environment.

Important Note: When using Windows NT, you can verify by opening the “Control Panel,” double-

clicking on “SCSI Adapter and clicking the “Devices” tab.

Important Note: For more information on using the operating system, refer to the documenation

that came with the operating system.

Important note: If there is an or mark etc. next to the icon for the CRW2200 drive,

it means that this unit has not been installed correctly.

Important note: For Windows 2000, double-click System in the “Control Panel,” select the

“Hardware” tab, and click the “Device Manager” button in “System Properties.”

6. SOFTWARE

6.1) Nero - Burning ROM 5.5

With Nero – Burning ROM making CD's is really simple. There are a large variety of options to help both the beginner and the professional – and the user has complete control over the CD-writing process all the time.

Using Nero, you can create many different types of CDs:

• Audio CD's

• Data CD's

• Mixed-mode CD's (audio and data)

• (Super)video CD's

• CD Extra

• Bootable CD's

• Hybrid CD's (for Windows and Mac)

• UDF CD's

6.2) InCD

Yamaha CD-RW recorder owners can use InCD CD-RW's to compile disks that can be used as large data memories. You can use Windows Explorer to copy files by 'drag & drop' onto the CD-RW, and you can store data from within any application onto the CD-RW (and delete it again) discs. It is as if you had a floppy disk where you could store 530 MB of data.

6.3) Nero Cover Designer

What is your own CD worth without its own individual cover? This is where Cover Designer comes into its own. Simply start from within Nero, and the data and playlists will be automatically transmitted from Nero to Cover Designer. It is also easy to scan, import and edit images.

6.4) Nero Wave Editor

Wave Editor is the program to use if you want to edit audio files. By editing files nondestructively, you can check quickly whether the effect achieves the desired result. You can improve the sound and reduce unwanted noise with the optimization methods provided. Wave Editor is also the right choice if you want to transfer the music on your gramophone records to CDs.

6.5) Nero Toolkit

A number of small programs with different functions are provided here.

6.6) NeroMIX

NeroMIX is the application to use if you want to play audio files. It can reproduce audio data, regardless of whether it is from a CD, hard disk, direct from the Internet or from an externally connected device. In addition, visual effects can be reproduced that move to the beat of the music and which can even create and modify themselves – providing many hours of enjoyment.

6.7) Installation

Simply place the Nero installation CD in the CD or DVD drive or CD writer and wait until the setup program appears. Then select the desired program and follow the instructions on the screen. That's it!

6.8) Progam Start

You can launch Nero – Burning ROM simply by clicking on the Nero symbol in the Start -> Programs -> Ahead Nero menu. The Wizard that will lead you through the compilation and burning process will now start up.

Important Terms

Buffer Underrun Protection: New technology to prevent the buffer running empty, the so-

called 'buffer underruns'. By selecting this option before you write, you will reliably prevent a situation where the burning procedure will be stopped because the flow of data to the writer is too slow. We recommend that you always select this option.

Burning speed: When you burn a CD, the data must be transferred to the CD writer at a particular speed (e.g. 3000 KB/s at 20x speed). If there is less data, the data transfer rate is lower than the writing speed and Buffer Underrun Protection has not been selected, the data flow will be interrupted and the burning process will be disrupted.

Image file: The files to be written are read first and then stored on the hard drive as an image file. The image file itself is then used for burning. The advantage with this is that the image file can be used repeatedly and the writing process is quicker, should you possess a high-speed CD or DVD-ROM drive. The drawback: the image file takes up to 800 MB of hard disk memory

Direct copying ('on-the-fly'): The files to be copied are written on the target CD immediately. The benefit is that you can write really quickly should you possess a high-speed CD or DVD-ROM as a (reading) drive. The downside – a buffer underrun can easier occur if

Buffer Underrun Protection has not been selected.

6.9) Other Software

There may be other, promotional software supplied in your new Yamaha 3-in-1 CD-RW drive package. If so, please follow instructions on the software discs and/or screen

prompts (directions) to install the additional software.

7.1) Creating a CD

Making CD's is really simple, regardless of the source of the files (CD-ROM or hard disk) or whether they are audio files or data.

7.2) Creating an Audio CD

After it has been written on, an audio CD is automatically terminated, i.e. it is not possible to add more audio tracks.

Note: If you want to be able to play your CD's reliably on all types of equipment, you should only burn your audio data onto CD-R media. CD-RW media are not yet supported by many types of players.

Audio CD's can be made in two different ways. The audio data to be written on the CD is available either

• on one (or more) CD's or

• is already stored on the hard disk.

1. Start Nero, the Wizard will open automatically. Select the 'Compile a new CD' option.

Click on 'Next' and highlight 'Audio CD' in the next dialog.

2. Click on 'Next' and exit the Wizard in the next dialog by clicking on 'Finish'. The compi-

lation and browser windows will appear.

3. In the browser window, select the desired drive and 'drag' the audio tracks (one after

the other) into the compilation window. Depending on the type of drive and the length of the tracks, it can take between a couple of seconds and a few minutes until the audio data is stored on your hard disk.

4. Once all the audio tracks have been put together, click on the 'Burn' button. The CD can now be written on immediately ('Burn' option) or a test can first be conducted ('Test and burn' option). Click on 'Burn' and the option will become available. That's it!

Note: If the audio data are of '.wav', '.mp3', '.vqf' or '.aiff' format, the files will be automatically converted into the CD-DA format before burning, one with which CD-players are able to read audio CD's.

Distribution Discs

When writing important data or preparing data for distribution to others, make sure that the disc can be read properly before writing duplicates.

Copyrights

When writing to CD-R/RW, make sure that you are not infringing any copyrights. It is illegal to copy audio CDs for non-personal use. When backing up software, please make sure that you are not infringing any software copyrights for that product.

Warranty

Yamaha and suppliers accept no liability for the loss of any data or any problems caused as a result. As a precaution, it is recommended that the discs are tested after they have been written to. Furthermore, under no circumstances does Yamaha and suppliers guarantee the reliability of the discs.

7.3) Creating a Data CD

Unlike audio CD's, which can only be completely recorded 'in one go', you can record a number of sessions on one data CD (so-called multi-session CD's). In other words, data can be either recorded on a new CD or can be recorded as a new session on an existing CD.

1. Start Nero, launch the Wizard, and select the 'Compile a new CD' option. Click on 'Next' and highlight 'Data CD' in the next dialog.

2. Click on 'Next' and then, in the next dialog, specify whether you want to create a new

CD or continue an existing session. Then exit the Wizard by clicking on 'Finish'. The compilation and browser windows will appear.

3. In the browser window, select the desired drive and (one after the other) 'drag' the files

and/or directories that you wish to write into the compilation window.

4. Once all the data has been put together, click on the 'Burn' button. The CD can now be

written on immediately ('Write' option) or a test can first be conducted ('test and burn' option). Click on 'Burn' and the option will become available. That's it!

7.4) Creating an Image File

An image file contains all the stored data that is to be burnt onto a CD.

One advantage is that an image file can be written onto CDs repeatedly, without having to compile the data again each time. Because an image file takes up to 800 MB, it is a good idea to check first to see how much memory is still free. You can create image files from all data formats.

1. Start Nero and 'drag' the data, tracks and/or directories from the browser window into the compilation window.

2. Click on the 'Burn' button and select the check box 'Create Image', then click on the 'Burn' button.

3. Give a name to the image file you wish to store and click on 'Save'.

7.5) Loading an Image File

1. Start Nero, launch the Wizard, select the 'Compile a new CD' option and then click on

the 'Next' button.

2. Select the 'Other CD formats' option and click on 'Next'.

3. Select the 'Create a CD from an image file' option and click on 'Next'.

4. In the next dialog, click on the 'Finish' button to exit the Wizard. Highlight the image

file (.nrg) and click on the 'Open' button.

5. Disable the 'Create Image' check box (if it has been selected) and click on the 'Burn'

button.

7.6) Copying a CD

If the CD that you wish to copy has a standardized CD format (and you are not breaking any copyright laws) you can make a backup copy of a CD.

1. Start Nero, launch the Wizard, select the 'Copy a CD' option and then click on the

'Next' button.

2. Select the drive where the original CD is located and click on 'Next'.

3. Click on 'Burn' to start copying the CD.

7.7) Continuing a Multi-session CD

1. Start Nero, launch the Wizard, select the 'Compile a new CD' option and then click on the 'Next' button.

2. In the next dialog, highlight 'Data CD' and click on 'Next'. Now select the 'Continue an existing data CD (multi-session)' option and click on 'Next'.

3. Highlight a track and click on 'OK' (normally you would use the last track selected,

which is highlighted).

4. Exit the Wizard in the next dialog by clicking on 'Finish'. The compilation and browser

windows will appear.

5. In the browser window, select the desired drive and (one after the other) 'drag' the files

and/or directories that you wish to write into the compilation window.

6. Once all the data has been put together, click on the 'Burn' button. The CD can now be

written on immediately ('Burn' option) or a test can first be conducted ('Test and burn' option). Click on 'Burn', and the option will become available. That's it!

7.8) Working with InCD

InCD only functions with rewritable media (CD-RW's). InCD formats a CD-RW in such a way that it can be used like a large floppy disk, i.e. files can be added by 'drag & drop' with the Windows Explorer, or deleted. Similarly, it is possible to save files from any application, for instance from 'Word'.

InCD starts automatically when the computer is booted, and the corresponding symbol appears in the Windows task bar.

There is a UDF-formatted CD in the drive.

There is no CD (or no UDF-formatted CD-RW) in the drive.

Formatting a CD-RW: With the right-hand mouse button, click on the InCD icon in the Windows task bar and select 'Format'. Follow the instructions in the dialog and select the CD-RW recorder and formatting method. Start formatting by clicking on the 'Finish' button.

Ejecting a CD-RW: Media formatted with InCD can no longer be ejected using the button on the CD-RW recorder but only by means of the corresponding InCD command. With the right-hand mouse button, click on the InCD icon in the Windows task bar and select 'Eject'.

Note: Media that has been written on with InCD can be read on another Windows PC if you install the UDF reading drivers (found on the installation CD).

deformed? Check the connectors.

● Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’s power supply attached correctly, and

does the drive power up? Also, are the SCSI or IDE ribbon cables (depending on model) correctly connected?

SCSI models only: If the system has started up normally, you will be able to see the drive and the SCSI card listed in Control Panel | System | Device Manager tab. The drive will be listed when you double-click on CDROM and the SCSI card will be listed when you double-click on SCSI controllers.

When you power up your computer, you can access the machine’s hardware BIOS set- tings before Windows is loaded. You can set your computer to recognize the SCSI card and the drive in the BIOS.

Important Note: The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a small program that resides on a ROM chip on the computer’s motherboard as well as on some expansion cards. It checks the system and its devices (such as serial ports and hard disk controllers) before loading the operating system (OS).

●

Are you using the correct SCSI driver?

If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows 95/98, make sure that you have installed the most recent drivers supplied by the SCSI card manufacturer.

If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows NT, update to the most recent ASPI drivers supplied by the manufacturer of the SCSI card or the

CD-writing software.

For more information about the latest version of any driver, please contact the respective hardware/software manufacturers.

● Is the SCSI adapter card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)?

The drivers for your SCSI adapter card may be incorrect. For more details, contact the manufacturer of your SCSI adapter card.

● Is the drive’s SCSI ID number the same as that of another device on the SCSI chain?

● Is the terminator on the drive set correctly?

It should be set to ON only if it is the last device on the SCSI chain. Otherwise it should be set to OFF.

● Is the termination of the SCSI card set such that internal SCSI devices can be

connected?

Please read the instructions that came with your SCSI card for details.

● To write to CD-R/RW discs, your CD writing software must support the drive. To find out

if it does, contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software.

The disc tray does not come out.

● Is the drive powered up?

● Some CD writing applications will lock the disc tray once loaded. In which case, use the

eject command from within the application. Alternatively, read the manual that came with the application.

The drive does not operate correctly.

● Is the disc compatible with the drive?

Important Note: Even if the disc is a type compatible with the drive, some varieties can still be unreadable on it.

●

Is there dust on the disc tray or on the disc itself?

● Is the terminator of the last device on the SCSI chain set to “ON?” Or if it has not built-

in termination, has a terminator been attached?

● Does the computer have a sufficient power supply?

The drive has a power consumption of 11W (when reading and writing).

●

Does your computer have several different CD writing applications installed?

If you use more than one CD writing application simultaneously, the behavior of the drive can become unpredictable.

The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the ON/DISC LED continues to blink in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has not been recognized).

● Disconnect the SCSI cable from the drive but leave the power cable connected,

then load a disc (SCSI units only).

● You may be trying to write to an unusable disc. If the drive fails to write to a variety of

different discs, it may be faulty and you should contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.

The “Buffer Underrun” error message is displayed.

● Try the following:

• Lower the writing speed settings (e.g., from 20x to 16x to 8x speed to 6x speed to 4x speed to 2x speed).

• Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk. (to find out more about creating an image file, please consult Adaptec’s online manual placed as a PDF on the installation disc)

• Defragment the hard disk.

• Turn hard disk power management off.

• Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4).

• Disable network access.

• Close other applications (including screen savers, task schedulers, etc.).

Important Note: Errors can occur if you knock the drive while it is writing to disc.

Important Note: When using packet writing on a CD-RW disc, the actual data capacity is 100MB less than that

stated on the cover of the disc. The difference in capacity is dependent on the writing mode.

What should I do if I get a blue “Error Screen” (Windows only) when trying to record a CD?

● If installing your new Yamaha CD-RW drive in a PC equipped with a CD-ROM or DVD-

ROM drive that features CSEL (in which case the jumper switch on that drive will be set on CSEL), you may encounter problems (such as blue error screen) when attempting to record a CD using a CD recording software. In such a case, turn off your computer, remove the cover, and then reposition the jumper switch of your existing CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive from its CSEL configuration to the MASTER setting. Set your new Yamaha drive’s setting on SLAVE. If still encountering problems, switch your DVD-ROM jumper setting to SLAVE and set your Yamaha drive setting to MASTER.

Do I need a special SCSI-3 cable to connect my new CRW2200SZ to my PC?

● No. The Yamaha SCSI-3 drives are SCSI-3 devices which mean that they support the

SCSI-3 command set. They do not, however, use SCSI-3 connectors. CRW2200SZ uses a low density, 50-pin, male internal connector and the ribbon cable supplied with your drive features the appropriate connector. CRW2200SZ is capable of transfer rates of up to 20 Megabytes per second and can operate at their peak performance using standard 50-pin connectors.

I cannot read a CD-RW disc in my new CRW2200 series drive?

● Please read the table in section 1.2.5) on page 5 of this Quick Start Guide.

I cannot read a CD-RW disc recorded by my CRW2200 series drive in another CD-RW drive

● Check to see if the “High Speed” logo is displayed on the other CD-RW drive. Please

read the table in section 1.2.5) on page 5 of this Quick Start Guide.

When I copy data or music, why can’t my CD-ROM drive or CD players see the information or play the music?

● It might be because you are using a CD-RW disc. Most older CD-ROM drives

and CD players do not recognize the rewriteable media, so they won’t be able to read the information.

What should I do if I get a gray screen on start-up with my new MAC Tower (Blue) G3?

● See details below for work-around.

Try starting up the computer with the power OFF on the Yamaha drive. When the computer is totally up, turn ON the Yamaha drive and use ADAPTEC’S SCSI Probe 5.1 (download SCSI Probe at http://www.adaptec.com/support/overview/macintosh.html) to mount the drive to the OS. Then open Toast to make CDs.

If you still can’t get your computer to start up, go to your SCSI card manufacture web site and download the current BIOS flash utility and the current firmware from Yamaha. Install the updates and restart the computer with the Yamaha drive turned OFF until the computer is totally up.

My CRW2200EZ/SZ is noisy when the disc spins up, is this normal?

● Yes. Like many of the fast CD-ROMs, the CRW2200EZ/SZ uses the CAV (Constant

Angular Velocity) method to achieve a high constant disc rotation speed to increase the data transfer rate. The drive can very noisy when spinning up a new disc, which is much louder than the usual levels of disc operation.

How can I measure the audio ripping speed of my new drive?

● Most CD mastering software could measure audio ripping speeds of any CD-RW, CD-

ROM or DVD-ROM drive. However, since any measurement is influenced by many different elements (including system configuration, length of the audio CD,number of tracks on the CD, and the actual quality of the audio CD itself), most of these programs are not able to provide an accurate reading.While you may try several CD speed measurement software titles out there, we recommend CDSPEED99 which could be obtained from the web at http://www.cdspeed2000.com/.

I do not seem able to rip audio CDs at 40x. How can I reach the maximum 40x audio ripping speed?

● It’s important to understand that your new CRW2200 series CD-RW recorder could

achieve the 40x maximum ripping speed via CAV (Constant Angular Velocity - see page 6 of the Quick Start Guide for details),which is increasingly becoming common in most top performing CD-ROM and CD-RW recorders today. What it means is that audio ripping in the most inner portion of the disc starts at about 16x and progresses further until reaching 40x at the outer portion of the CD. Hence, while attempting to calculate the speeds achieved, one should calculate an estimated time. For example, if you try to calculate an average rip speed for this CAV-equipped recorder, depending on system configurations and the quality of the audio disc used, you will be able to reach an average rip speed somewhere in the 30x neighborhood (which, in practice, is very fast) allowing you to rip a full disc in about 3 minutes. But, if you would like to measure the maximum rip speed achieved, you will notice that reaching 40x will happen towards the very end of the disc.
