This flowchart shows the procedure for setting up the CRW6416S drive. For easy cross-referencing, the relevant pages in this manual are also given.

Introduction

Features of the CRW6416S Drive

6X Speed Writing to CD-R, 4X Speed Writing to CD-RW and 16X Speed Reading

The CRW6416S drive can write to CD-R at 6X, 4X or 1X speed and write/overwrite to CD-RW at 4X or 2X speed. It can also read from CD-R and CD-ROM media at up to 16X speed.

Supports a Wide Range of CD Formats

The CRW6416S drive can read from and write to CD-ROM in standard ISO9660 format and to audio CD in CD-DA format. Use the drive for a wide variety of purposes, such as backing up data, writing your own audio CDs and creating multimedia titles (using CD Extra mode). Just choose the writing/reading format that suits your needs. For more details, refer to page 4.

SCSI-2 (Fast SCSI) Compatible

The CRW6416S is compatible with SCSI-2 (Fast SCSI), the second-generation SCSI protocol for interconnecting computers and peripherals.

Windows 95/98 Plug and Play Compatible

Under Windows 95 or Windows 98, the SCSI ID number of the CRW6416S can be set automatically. If there is a conflict between the manually-assigned SCSI ID of the CRW6416S drive and the ID of another SCSI device on the same chain, the CRW6416S is automatically assigned a vacant SCSI ID instead.

Supports all Four CD Writing Modes

These modes are Disc-at-Once (the disc is written in a single pass without pausing), Track-at-Once (data can be written incrementally to disc one track at a time), Session-at-Once (each session is written in a single pass without pausing), and Packet Writing (data can be written to disc in small increments just like with a floppy or hard disk). For more details, refer to page 36.

System Configuration

In order to use the CRW6416S drive, your computer system will need to meet the following set of requirements.

Computer

The minimum system requirements for using the CRW6416S drive are as follows:

● Any fully PC/AT-compatible computer.

● A Pentium-class or higher CPU running at 133MHz or faster. (200MHz or

faster recommended.)

● OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 3/4/5.

● A 5.25-inch drive bay for mounting the drive.

● A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet).

● A SCSI card to connect SCSI devices (including the CRW6416S) to your

computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends any of Adaptec’s AHA2940-series cards (PCI slot).

Software

The software requirements for using the CRW6416S drive are as follows:

● CD writing software. This software must support the CRW6416S drive for

writing to CD-R or CD-RW.

n For details about how to install and use the software, refer to the manual that comes with it.

● When temporarily storing data on hard disk prior to writing to CD-R/RW,

you will need an extra area of 50 ~ 100MB free hard disk space in addition to the amount used by the data itself. So when storing an image file of an audio CD on hard disk, a 74-minute disc (which is about 740MB of data) will require a total of 790 ~ 840MB of free hard disk space. However, this extra area is not needed when directly backing up from CD-ROM.

n Data is written to disc much more reliably when writing from an image file, eliminating the

likelihood of errors occurring. Furthermore, this solution is ideal when making multiple copies of discs since the original data is backed up to hard disk as an image file.

System Configuration

Media

The CRW6416S drive is compatible with discs which meet the following specifications:

● CD-R discs:

Use discs that conform to the Orange Book Part 2 standards. When writing to CD-R at 4X or 6X speed, you should use discs that have been designed for high-speed recording.

● CD-RW discs:

Use discs that conform to the Orange Book Part 3 standards. When writing to CD-RW at 4X speed, you should use discs that have been designed for high-speed recording.

● Read-only discs:

You can read from any CD-ROM discs that conform to the Yellow Book standard, and which bear the logo. You can also play back any CDDA (audio) discs that conform to the Red Book standards, and which bear the logo.

n 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. Similarly, the Red Book standard relates to audio (CD-DA) discs and the Yellow Book standard relates to CD-ROM discs.

About CD-ROM

A CD-ROM disc is a compact disc containing high-density read-only data. It has many applications, including the playback of music and video, the archiving of data, as well as on-line documentation. The following are descriptions of each CD-ROM format:

CD-DA: Up to 74 minutes of audio is written in 16-bit resolution at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz.

Data CD: Up to 650 megabytes of computer data is stored in standard ISO9660 format.

Video CD: Up to 74 minutes of video and audio is compressed in MPEG format for playback.

System Configuration

Tools

You will need the following tools at hand when installing the CRW6416S drive.

Philips Screwdriver

You will need to use this when removing the cover of your computer and when mounting the drive. You may also need to temporarily remove the sound card to gain access to the CD audio connectors. In which case a small screw retaining the sound card’s face plate has to be removed.

Long-Nosed Pliers

You will need these to insert or remove the plastic jumper shunts when setting the jumper switches at the back of the CRW6416S drive.

Front and Rear of Unit

Disc tray

The tray is used to hold the disc. It slides out from the drive unit when a disc needs to be loaded or unloaded.

Eject button

Press this button when you need to unload a disc. Remove the disc after the tray has opened.

Manual eject hole

Only use this if no other method is available for unloading a disc.

Headphone jack

You can connect stereo headphones to this stereo mini jack and listen to audio CDs loaded in the drive.

Headphone volume control

Adjust this control to set a suitable volume level when listening to an audio CD using the headphone jack. Slide the knob to the left to decrease the volume and to the right to increase it.

ON/DISC LED

This LED is orange when the drive is powered on, and green when the drive contains a disc.

READ/WRITE LED

This LED is green when data is being read off a disc, and orange when data is being written. It flashes on and off intermittently when the disc is being accessed.
