Features of the CRW-F1SX Drive

Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording (High quality audio writing mode)

Audio Master Quality Recording enables you to create high quality audio CDs that can be played back beautifully on any compatible device including car stereos. In addition, the data quality of your CDs can be preserved for a long time. (P. 40) This mode is available for CD-R discs with a capacity of 650MB and 700MB.

DiscT@2

The DiscT@2 function enables you to burn texts/pictures on the data surface of a CD-R disc. Writing software that supports the function is required to operate it. For details about this feature, refer to the instruction for the writing software.

Note

•The function cannot be used with a CD-RW disc.

•Appearance of burned images such as pictures varies depending on the material of a disc.

High speed writing/reading

The CRW-F1SX drive supports up to 44X-speed writing for CD-R discs, up to 24X- speed writing/rewriting for CD-RW discs, and up to 44X-speed data reading or digital audio data extraction. The Full CAV method enables 44X-speed writing and high fidelity stable writing at once for CD-R discs.

Tip

The Partial CAV method (P. 41) and the Full CAV method permit 24X-speed writing/ rewriting for CD-RW discs.

SafeBurn™ (Enhanced stability writing technology)

The generous 8MB buffer memory provides sufficient data storage to enable stable disc writing at high speeds. Even if data transfer from the computer is interrupted, the Buffer Underrun Protection function is activated to save CD-R discs from a writing error. (P. 39)

“Optimum Write Speed Control” adjusts the writing speed to the optimum rate for CD- R discs automatically. The maximum writing speed can be set with CD writing software.

Note

•“Optimum Write Speed Control” can be activated when the maximum writing speed is set at 16X or more.

•The minimum writing speed to be automatically selected is 8X. Manually set the optimum writing speed if a writing speed supported by a disc is less than 8X.

CD-MRW (CD Mount Rainier ReWriting)

CD-MRW is a new standard of packet writing. Compared to the ordinary packet writing, CD-MRW provides many useful functions such as background formatting. (P. 41)
