Features of the CRW3200UX Drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW3200UX drive supports up to 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs, and up to 10X-speed writing/rewriting for CD-RW discs. In addition, the drive supports data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.

Tip

•The Partial CAV method permits 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs.

•The CLV method and the 4X – 10X Full CAV method permit 10X-speed writing/ rewriting for CD-RW discs.

USB interface (USB 2.0)

The CRW3200UX drive uses USB 2.0 that provides high-speed data transfer capability (max. speed 480 Mbps/sec.). The transfer speed is about 40 times faster than the USB 1.1.

In addition, the CRW3200UX drive supports the hot plug function that enables you to connect/disconnect the drive while computer is turned on.

SafeBurn™ (Enhanced stability writing technology)

The generous 8 MB buffer memory provides sufficient data storage to enable stable disc writing at high speeds. Even if data transfer from the computer is interrupted, the Buffer Underrun Protection function is activated to save CD-R discs from a writing error. (P. 34)

“Optimum Write Speed Control” adjusts the writing speed to the optimum rate for every CD-R disc automatically. You can set the maximum writing speed with your CD writing software.

Note

•“Optimum Write Speed Control” can be activated when the maximum writing speed is set at 12X or more.

•The minimum writing speed to be automatically selected is 8X. Manually set the optimum writing speed if a writing speed supported by a disc is less than 8X.

High fidelity digital audio

The CRW3200UX drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed using CD writing software, as well as recording digital audio with high fidelity even at 24X-speed writing.

Features of the CRW3200UX Drive

Audio Master Quality Recording (High quality audio writing mode)

Audio Master Quality Recording enables you to create high quality audio CDs. This mode is available for CD-R discs with a capacity of 650 MB and 700 MB. (P. 36)

Note

Audio CDs that are created with Audio Master Quality Recording may not be played

back on certain audio recorders and CD-R/RW drives.

CD-MRW (CD Mount Rainier ReWriting)

CD-MRW is a new standard of packet writing. Compared to the ordinary packet writing, CD-MRW provides many useful functions such as background formatting. (P. 36)
