Precautions on Use

•USB port (USB 2.0 compatible)

A USB port is required to connect the CRW-F1UX drive to the computer. The CRW-F1UX drive needs to be connected to the USB port on the computer. The drive connected to the computer via a USB hub may not operate properly.

To fully utilize the CRW-F1UX drive, a USB 2.0 port and EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant driver are required.

If a computer has a USB port with USB 1.1 specifications, Yamaha recommends that a USB 2.0 interface card be installed in the computer.

The USB 2.0 interface card that has been already recognized to support the CRW- F1UX drive is as follows.

Manufacture	Product	Card Type

Note

For information about where to find an EHCI compliant driver for the USB 2.0 interface card or information about operating systems supporting the card, refer to the card manufacturer’s website or contact the manufacturer.

Connecting the drive to a USB port with USB 1.1 specifications

When the CRW-F1UX drive is connected to a USB 1.1-compliant port on the computer, the drive operates with USB 1.1 specifications.

For secure data writing, activate Buffer Underrun Protection and set the writing speed to 8X for a CD-R disc or 10X for a CD-RW disc with the writing software. The actual writing/rewriting speed is approximately 6X. The data reading speed is up to 6X.
