Preparing the CRW-F1 Drive
Note
•The 40-pin IDE cable (with 40 wires) included in a Yamaha retail kit supports Ultra ATA/33. IDE devices connected to the 40-pin IDE cable are operated with Ultra ATA/33 even if the devices support Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra ATA/100.
•The CRW-F1 drive is operated with Ultra ATA/33 even if the drive can be connected by an IDE cable (with 80 wires) supporting Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra ATA/100.
•Use an IDE cable no longer than 45.7 cm (18 inches).
•When two IDE devices are connected to one IDE cable, be sure to assign each as master/slave respectively.
4 Connect an audio cable if necessary.
The sound card of the computer enables you to listen to audio CDs played back on the CRW-F1 drive. There are two methods to connect the CRW-F1 drive and the sound card: analog connection and digital connection.
Audio CD playback
•Audio is available from the headphones or speakers connected to the headphone jack on the front panel of the CRW-F1 drive (this is convenient for the computer without a sound card). In such a case, connecting an audio cable is not required.
•An audio cable is not required to extract an image file from an audio CD since data is transferred via the IDE cable.
•If the CRW-F1 drive is installed as an additional drive and a CD-ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, using the existing drive to play back an audio CD is recommended.
