Introduction Features of the CRW2100SX Drive High speed The CRW2100SX 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.

YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site URL: 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. If necessary, reconnect the cable. ● Make sure that the front panel POWER switch is depressed.
Troubleshooting ● Is the SCSI card recognized correctly by the operating system (OS)? The SCSI driver for your SCSI card may be incorrect. For more details, contact the SCSI card manufacturer. ● Is the drive’s SCSI ID number the same as that of another device on the SCSI chain? (→P. 12) ● Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed? Check the connectors.
Troubleshooting The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the LED on the front panel remains lit in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has not been recognized). (→P. 32) ● Power down the computer. Then disconnect the SCSI cable from your drive but leave the power cable connected. Now try loading the disc. ● There may be problems with the disc itself.
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 music tracks will be recorded in the first session, and the data will be recorded in the second session.
