Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha CDR400Atx drive. Please read this manual before using the drive in order to make the best use of the superior CDR400Atx functions. After reading, please retain this man- ual for future reference.
Introduction CDR400Atx Features 4xS Recording - 6xS Reading The CDR400Atx is a CD-ROM recorder capable of recording at quad speed (4xS), double speed (2xS), or normal speed (1xS). It can read discs at up to 6xS. Compatible with Seven Different Formats The CDR400Atx can both record and read seven different formats: CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, CD-DA, CD-Bridge (multisession), CD-Extra, and Video CD.
Introduction Orange Book Compatible Recording Track at Once In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. Discs recorded in this mode cannot be played in CD players or CD-ROM drives other than a CD-R drive until the session is closed. Multisession In this mode, data can be recorded to disc in stages (one session at a time).
Note: You will need about twice as much space on your hard disk as that required by the data you wish to write to CD-ROM. SCSI card This is required in order to connect a SCSI device (the Yamaha CDR400Atx) to your computer. We recommend the following: Adaptec SCSI cards: AHA-2940 (PCI), AHA-284x (VL), AHA-2740 (EISA), AHA-154x (ISA), etc.
Discs CD-R Discs On the CDR400Atx, you can use conventional CD-R discs that con- form to the Recordable Compact Disc Systems Part 2 (Orange Book). Yamaha recommends the following Yamaha CD-R discs: > CDM12Y63 ( 120mm, 63 minutes) > CDM12Y74 ( 120mm, 74 minutes) >...
