Introduction

Features of the CRW2200IX Drive

High speed writing/reading
*1
The CRW2200IX drive supports up to 20X-speed writing of CD-R discs, and up to
*2
10X-speed writing/rewriting of CD-RW discs. Furthermore, the drive supports data
reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.
Easy setup
Implementation of an IEEE1394 interface (also known as FireWire or i.LINK)
eliminates the need for drive configurations (device ID, termination, etc.). You can
connect and start using the drive whenever you wish without restarting your
computer.
SafeBurn™ (Enhanced write stability technology)
Generous 8MB of buffer memory
Because of the large data storage area, stable disc writing is possible even at fast
speeds.
Buffer Underrun Protection
When data transfer from the host PC is interrupted, Buffer Underrun Protection is
activated to keep precious CD-R discs from going to waste. ( P. 3)
Optimum Write Speed Control
Before writing to a CD-R, the CRW2200IX drive checks the disc's capability and
*3
automatically selects the optimum writing speed for greater reliability. Even if the
writing speed of the CD-R disc you are using is faster than the setting speed on the
writing software, the setting speed still takes precedence.
Reliable writing
Yamaha's proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)
This technology reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it projects
accurately onto the disc. Jitter value, an important measure of recording quality, has
been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology.
Running OPC (Optimum Power Control)
Running OPC automatically adjusts the output of the laser according to the
characteristics of the disc being used. Running OPC provides greatly enhanced
recording reliability for various manufacturer's discs.
