About CD
Re-Writeable
The Yamaha CRW4260 ti-PC is a “multi-function” or “3-in-1” drive.
This means that the drive may be used with CDR (write once) media,
CD-RW (rewriteable) media, or as a CD-ROM drive. Your
CRW4260ti-PC will automatically recognize and accommodate
whatever CD media is inserted.
CD-R CD-RW
Compatibility Nearly all CD-ROM
Cost of media Very low 4-5 X that of CD-R
Erasable Write once - not

HOW CD-R AND CD-RW WORK
CD-R writes 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.
CD-RW writes 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 reflected light. The disc can be
“wiped clean” in an erase process that realigns the crystalline elements.
About SCSI Controllers
This kit 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 is
available with various levels of performance, features, and price. If you plan to add
peripherals such as scanners or external hard-drives you will want a more capable host
adapter. If, on the other hand you plan to use the host adapter only to connect this CDRecorder, a more economical device may be a better choice.
SCSI cards from AdvanSys, Adaptec, BusLogic, Q-Logic, NCR are known to function
properly with this drive.
Visit http://www.yamahayst.com/techsup/recoscsi.html for the latest information on
compatible SCSI cards.
Once you have selected a SCSI host adapter card install it in your computer according to
the manufacturers directions.

Set the CD-Recorder SCSI ID Number
Set the SCSI ID Number while referring to the SCSI device connection diagram.
The factory setting for the SCSI ID Number ID: 3. For most installations, no adjustment
of the SCSI ID number is necessary.
Note: Turn off the power before setting the SCSI ID number.
CDR Internal Model, SCSI ID setting
Setting the SCSI Terminator
Connect the SCSI Terminator while referring to the SCSI device connection diagram.
If you are connecting multiple SCSI devices and the CD-Recorder is the last device,
turn the SCSI terminator to ON.
If you are connecting the CD-Recorder between SCSI devices, set the SCSI
terminator to OFF. (The factory setting is ON.)
