Some writing/rewriting speed settings may not be available depending on the specification of a disc.

When using the packet writing method (P. 40) for writing/rewriting onto an Ultra Speed CD-RW disc, you can select the 24X Full CAV method. For more details, refer to the instruction for the CD writing software. (CD writing software that has the feature to select the Full CAV method is required.)

The Full CAV method is recommended when editing a written file with application software.

Device compatibility

Ultra Speed CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a device that supports CD- RW discs (e.g. CD-ROM drive) or a device that bears the High/Ultra Speed CD- RW logo.

Note

In order to write or delete an Ultra Speed CD-RW disc, use a CD-RW drive that bears the Ultra Speed CD-RW logo.

A CD-R/RW drive without the logo may not recognize a High/Ultra Speed CD-RW disc, resulting in computer malfunction.

Refer to the Yamaha website to check the disc compatibility prior to using a YAMAHA CD-R/RW drive without the logo for a High/Ultra Speed CD-RW disc. URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/
