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 Compatible Discs Discs that can be written on The CRW3200UX drive can write on the following discs. For the latest information about discs previously checked for compatibility with the drive, refer to the following website. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ CD-R discs • The CRW3200UX 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.

Troubleshooting Refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website for the latest support data, including information on troubleshooting. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ Europe URL: http://www.yamaha-it.de/ 1 The CRW3200UX drive is not turned on when the power switch is ON. (The front panel LED does not light.) ● 2 The operating system does not start up properly.
● 4 Is the USB interface card recognized properly by the operating system? Follow the documentation that comes with the USB interface card or the computer, and check that the USB interface card is recognized by the operating system properly. If the USB interface card is recognized properly, contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual). If not, refer to the documentation that comes with the USB interface card or the computer.
Troubleshooting 5 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 perpendicular to the edge of the disc. ● Does the drive accept other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc, etc.
● Does the LED on the front panel of the CRW3200UX drive light correctly when a disc is inserted? When a disc is inserted, the 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.
Troubleshooting 3 Start “Windows Media Player.” In the menu bar, select Tools, Options and CD Audio tab. 4 Uncheck the “Digital playback” in the “Playback Settings” item. Uncheck (This screen is an example on Windows Media Player 7.0.) For Windows XP 1 Follow “For Windows Me” on page 25, and uncheck the “Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device.” 2 Start “Windows Media Player.” In the menu bar, select Tools, Options, Devices tab, CD-RW Drive, and Properties.
8 No data can be read from any CDs, a disc is ejected spontaneously, or the LED remains purple when a disc is inserted. (The LED does not change from lighting purple 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.
Troubleshooting 10 Other problems 28 ● Isn’t more than one CD writing software installed in your computer? Installing more than one CD writing software in a computer may cause instability of operation. ● CD writing software must support the CRW3200UX drive in order to recognize the drive. Contact the manufacturer of your CD writing software to see whether the software supports the CRW3200UX drive.

Safety/EMC Compliance The CRW3200UX 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 CRW3200UX drive.
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. Track-at-Once (TAO) This method is used to write data on a disc on a track-by-track basis.
Technical Notes 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.
