Introduction Features of the CRW2100S Drive High speed The CRW2100S drive supports up to 16X speed writing of a CD-R disc, and up to 10X speed writing of a CD-RW disc. For example, an audio CD (79 minutes/ 700MB) can be created in approximately 5 minutes. With newly adopted Partial CAV writing method (See the following column), you can write a disc by directly transferring content data from a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive. Data reading at up to 40X speed is supported.
Introduction *1 Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for) Technology that reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it shines accurately on the disc. *2 Jitter value An important measure of recording quality. This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology. *3 Running OPC (Optimum Power Control) CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc.
