Troubleshooting Refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website for the latest support information, including the troubleshooting guide. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ Europe URL: http://www.yamaha-it.de/ 1 The CRW-F1UX drive is not turned on when the power switch is ON. (The power LED does not light.) ● 2 The operating system does not start up properly.
Troubleshooting 4 24 ● Is the included Windows 98 Second Edition USB CD-ROM device driver installed properly? (For Windows 98 Second Edition) Windows 98 Second Edition does not recognize the CRW-F1UX drive unless the included Windows 98 Second Edition USB CD-ROM device driver is properly installed. Install the device driver following the instructions of the separate manual “Windows 98 Second Edition USB CD-ROM Device Driver Installation Guide” for the CRW-F1UX drive.
5 6 The disc is ejected without order (or it comes out spontaneously). ● Is the disc set properly (horizontally) on the disc tray? Set the disc properly, and close the disc tray. ● Is the disc dusty or dirty? Remove dust or dirt from the disc using an air spray or a dry soft cloth. To avoid damaging discs, wipe the disc gently from the center to the edge of the disc. ● Does the drive accept other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc, etc.
Troubleshooting ● 7 Does the status LED of the CRW-F1UX drive light correctly when a disc is inserted? When a disc is inserted, the status LED will blink blue for a moment and then light blue. (P. 3) If no data can be read from a specific disc, data may be written in a format that the drive cannot recognize, or the disc may be damaged or deformed.
3 Start “Windows Media Player.” In the menu bar, select Tools, Options, Devices tab, CD-RW Drive, and Properties. 4 Select “Analog” in the “Playback” item. Select (This screen is an example on Windows Media Player 8.0.) For Windows Me 1 Follow step 1 and 2 on page 26, and uncheck “Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device.” 2 Start “Windows Media Player.” In the menu bar, select Tools, Options and CD Audio tab. 3 Uncheck “Digital playback” in the “Playback Settings” item.
Troubleshooting 8 No data can be read from any CDs, a disc is ejected spontaneously, or the status LED does not light when a disc is inserted. (The LED does not change to blinking blue and then lighting blue.) (P. 3) Disconnect the USB cable from your drive while the AC adapter is connected. Insert the disc once again. If a specific disc is automatically ejected or cannot be read, the disc itself may have a problem.
10 Other problems ● Is more than one CD writing software installed on your computer? Installing more than one CD writing software on a computer may cause instability of operation. For Windows XP Windows XP includes the CD writing function as a standard feature. Disable the function when the other software that supports the CRW-F1UX drive is used. 1 Select My Computer, YAMAHA CRW-F1UX drive icon (Right-click), and Properties.

CRW-F1UX Drive Specifications Safety/EMC Compliance The CRW-F1UX drive conforms to the following specifications. Country/ Region USA Canada EU Compliance Specifications Category Safety Item Standard Remarks Electricity UL60950 Information Technology Equipment Laser 21CFR1040.10 FDA Chapter 1, Subchapter J Class I Laser Product EMC Emission 47CFR15 Peripheral Device FCC Part 15, Subpart B Safety Electricity CSA C22.2 No.
Technical Notes Buffer Underrun Protection Function CD-R/RW drives are equipped with a buffer memory, which temporarily stores data that is being transferred. When the buffer memory becomes empty due to a delay of data transfer for any reason, a writing error happens. Such condition is defined as buffer underrun, and such an error is defined as a buffer underrun error. Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in the CRW-F1UX drive.
Technical Notes Writing Methods Disc-at-Once (DAO) This method is used to write all data onto a disc in one operation. It writes multiple pieces of data without placing a space between data, starting with the innermost track of the disc. Once data is written by this method, no data can be added to the same disc even if there is free space available on the disc. This method is useful for making a backup copy of an entire disc.
Packet Writing This method is used to record data onto a disc on a file-by-file basis. This method divides a track into small segments called “packets” so that data can be written on a packet-by-packet basis, which means that you can write data in much the same way as you copy data to a floppy or hard drive. Since the data can be written easily, packet writing is proper to daily data backup. Packet writing also enables you to add packets to a disc as long as there is free space available on the disc.
Technical Notes Constant Linear Velocity (CLV) The disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data transfer rate constant while writing/reading data. Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) The data transfer rate is adjusted to keep the disc rotation speed constant while writing/reading data. The Full CAV method employs CAV all through data writing/ reading. Partial CAV The CAV method is employed for inner tracks of a disc and the CLV method for outer tracks while writing/reading data.
