Introduction Features of the CRW2100IX Drive High speed The CRW2100IX 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 CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc.

Operations Manually Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as malfunction of the internal spring-loaded mechanism or power outage, it can be opened manually. You should only attempt to eject a disc manually as a last resort. Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently. n This operation requires a large paper clip (with a diameter of 2 millimeters or less). Straighten the clip so that you can insert it into the drive’s Eject hole.
Troubleshooting You may encounter troubles while using the CRW2100IX drive. This section gives symptoms and possible solutions or step-by-step procedures to walk around. Also refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web sites for more information. URL for YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web sites: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ Europe: http://www.yamaha-yste.com/ The drive does not power up. ● Make sure that the drive is properly connected to a “live” AC outlet using the supplied power cable.
Troubleshooting Pressing the Eject button does not open the disc tray. ● Is the CRW2100IX drive powered up? If not, go to the previous symptom, “The drive does not power up” (P. 22). ● Are you using the CD writing software? If so, your CD writing software may lock the tray once the disc is loaded. If this is the case, try using the eject command from within the software. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with it. First close the software, and then try ejecting the disc.
Troubleshooting ● Does the drive accept other disc (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc and so on)? When the drive does not accept a specific disc, the disc has a problem such as scratches on its surface, warping or other reasons. The drive may also fail to load even a supported disc if the disc is written improperly. ● Does the LED light properly when the disk is loaded? The LED should flash green for a moment after the disk is loaded.
Troubleshooting The “Buffer Underrun” error message is displayed. ● Try the following: • Lower the writing speed setting. • Create an image file of the CD on the computer's hard drive. • Defragment the hard drive. • Close other applications such as screensaver, task scheduler, and so on. • Turn hard drive power management off. • Deactivate Active Desktop (for Windows users). • Disable network access. • Deactivate resident software (Items in Windows task bar or Mac menu bar).
Appendix Writing Modes Disc-at-Once (DAO) This mode is used when writing a complete disc in a single pass without pausing. Data cannot be added later, even if the full capacity of the blank disc has not been used.
Appendix Session-at-Once (SAO) As a writing method that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned “Discat-Once” and “Track-at-Once,” you can combine multiple tracks into one session and write them, and then add additional data. For example, this is the writing method used to create a CD EXTRA format CD. The audio tracks will be recorded in the first session and the data will be recorded in the second.
