USB 2.0 compatible

USB 2.0 provides high-speed data transfer capability (max. speed 480 Mbits/sec.). The transfer speed is about 40 times faster than the conventional USB standard (USB 1.1).

USB’s hot swapping capability allows the drive to be plugged in and unplugged even with the computer turned on.

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 CRW2200UX drive checks the disc’s capability and automatically selects the optimum writing speed*3 for greater reliability. The speed you set is the maximum writing speed.

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.
