Troubleshooting

6 No data can be read from a disc.

●Is the disc ejected without order?

Refer to “The disc is ejected without order (or it comes out spontaneously).” (Troubleshooting, Item 5)

●Is the disc compatible with the drive? (P. 5, 35)

Be sure that the disc is compatible with the CRW-F1SX drive.

●Is the disc dusty or dirty?

Remove dust or dirt from the disc using an air spray or a dry soft cloth. To avoid damaging discs, wipe the disc gently from the center to the edge of the disc.

●Can data be read from other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, etc.)?

If no data can be read from a specific disc, data may be written in a format that the drive cannot recognize, or the disc itself may be damaged or deformed. Note that no data can be read from blank discs, and the CRW-F1SX drive infrequently fail to read data correctly from a disc even if the disc is compatible with the drive.

●Are the extension files supporting the CRW-F1SX installed? (For Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2)

If the extension files supporting the drive are not installed, the disc cannot be mounted or read. The extension files come with the CD writing software.

●Does the status LED of the CRW-F1SX drive light correctly when a disc is inserted?

When a disc is inserted, the status LED will blink blue for a moment and then light blue. (P. 2)

If no data can be read from a specific disc, data may be written in a format that the drive cannot recognize, or the disc may be damaged or deformed.

If the status LED does not light (stating that the drive cannot recognize the disc) no matter what type of disc is inserted, contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).

7 The playback of an audio CD (CD-DA) is inaudible.

●Check that the volume is not set to the minimum level.

●Be sure that headphones or external speakers are properly connected to the CRW- F1SX drive.
