Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing, and welcome to — the Yamaha CDR100/102. Before using CDR100/102, please read through this Operation Guide.
WhatisCDR100/102?
The Yamaha CDR100/102 allows you to record data onto Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) discs. It can also be used to play discs just like a typical CD-ROM drive*. CD-ROM is an acronym for Compact Disc Read Only Memory, which is a read-only medium, so you can read data, but you cannot record new data.
CDR100/102 uses a special kind of disc for recording. Its appearance is similar to that of a typical CD-ROM, however, the base material, manufacturing techniques, and recording principles are different. CDR100/102 uses a laser to write data to disc. Once the laser light hits the disc, the color and reflective qualities of the disc change. Since this reflective quality cannot be changed after initial exposure, the data cannot be erased or changed.
Now that multimedia, which encompasses text, graphics, audio, and video, has become a reality, CD-ROM, with its 550MB to 650MB storage capacity, has an important supporting role to play.
*CDR100/102 will not play commercially made discs whose center-hole location does not conform to the Orange book specification.

4xSRecording&Reading(CDR100) 2xSRecording&4xSReading(CDR102)
CDR100 is the first CD-ROM recorder capable of recording at quad speed (4xS). This means a significant time saving for CD-ROM production. Both the CDR100 and CDR102 can record at double speed (2xS) and normal speed (1xS), and read discs at quad speed (4xS). CDR100 records at a maximum speed of 4xS. CDR102 records at a maximum speed of 2xS.
DualUse:RecordandPlay
As well as recording CD-ROM and CD-DA format discs, CDR100/102 can play them, too. For these two formats, CDR100/102 functions just like a typical CD-ROM drive.
Compactbody
A compact size - approximately the size of an internal 5.25 inch floppy disk drive (half-height type) - allows you to build the unit into your system architecture easily.
SCSI2forHigh-Volume,High-SpeedData
Transfer
CDR100/102 features SCSI2–the Second generation SCSI interface for connecting computers and peripheral devices. SCSI2 provides high-speed transmission for large volume data, especially important when working with image data.

OrangeBookPart2Compatible3-Mode
Recording
CDR100/102 conforms to the three recording modes outlined in the Orange Book Part 2: Track At Once, Multisession and Disc At Once.
TrackatOnce
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc a track at a time. However, the disc cannot be played until the final recording is made.
Multisession
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time, and the disc can be played in-between recording sessions.
DiscAtOnce
In this mode, data can be recorded to an entire disc in one go. To use this mode, your software must support Disc At Once recording.

CD-R Discs 5
CD-RDiscs
Yamaha have developed two discs, use the discs below, or conventional CD-R discs that conform to the Orange Book Standard.
•CDM12Y63 (12-cm)
•CDM12Y74 (12-cm)
Using discs developed and manufactured by Yamaha will minimize the occurrence of errors during writing operation, and will ensure compatibility when you read data from the disc using another manufacturer’s CD-ROM drive.
When using the “TRACK AT ONCE” recording mode, do not try to play the disc until it has been finalized (i.e., until the lead in/out information has been written), otherwise errors or malfunctions may occur. Likewise, trying to play a blank disc (i.e., a disc that has not yet been recorded) in a CD-ROM drive, CD player, or CD-I player may cause malfunctions and disc scratches.
ControllingSoftware
CDR100/102 is a platform independent software controlled device. It can be used in MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX environments. Before purchasing software, make sure that it supports CDR100/102 and your computer platform.
