Precautions on Use Handling Discs To avoid trouble, such as writing errors, loss of recorded data, and malfunction of the drive, take the following precautions when handling discs. • Do not place discs in a hot or damp place or where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. • Do not touch the disc surface. Hold the disc by the edge when handling it. • Remove dust and dirt from the disc surface. Use an air spray to remove dust. The disc surface may be scratched if strongly wiped with a dry cloth.
Precautions on Use Useable discs Discs that can be written on The CRW3200E drive can write on the following discs. For the latest information about discs previously checked for compatibility with the drive, refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ CD-R discs • The CRW3200E drive can write at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X or 24X speed. • CD-R discs can be played back on a CD-ROM drive or a CD player.
Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) The CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method is generally used to write data on a CD-R disc. In writing using the CLV method, the disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data writing speed (data transfer rate) constant on all parts of the disc. In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method exercises control so as to keep the disc rotation speed constant.

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 CRW3200E drive.
Technical Notes Track-at-Once (TAO) This method is used to write data on a disc on a track-by-track basis. A track can be defined as the smallest unit of area that contains an ordinary program, image file, text file, etc. This method enables you to add data to the same disc, one track of data at a time, as long as there is free space available on the disc. A disc that contains data written in several sessions is defined as a multi-session 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.
