Introduction

Features of the CRW2200 drive

High speed writing/reading

The CRW2200 drive supports up to 20X-speed writing of CD-R discs,*1 and up to 10X-speed writing/rewriting of CD-RW discs.*2 Furthermore, the drive supports data reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.

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 CRW2200 drive checks the disc’s capability and automatically selects the optimum writing speed for greater reliability.

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.

High-fidelity digital audio

The CRW2200 drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed, as well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at 20X speed. Also, the built-in digital audio output is ideal for the pure transmission of an audio signal when connected to the SPDIF (digital audio) input of the computer's sound card.

CD TEXT support

Information such as the song name or artist name can be recorded on Audio CDs using CD creation software. The text data on the created disc can be displayed on a CD player that is compatible with the CD TEXT format.
