Disconnect the SCSI cable from your drive while the AC adapter is connected. Insert the disc once again. If a specific disc is automatically ejected or cannot be read, the disc itself may have a problem. If the drive does not accept any compatible discs (and the status LED does not light), contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).

To prevent the occurrence of a buffer underrun and to increase the efficiency of data writing, try the following:

–Reduce the data writing speed.

–Create an image file on the hard drive.

–Optimize the hard drive. (Defragmentation)

–Do not start any application software including screen savers during data writing.

–Set the data transfer mode of any SCSI devices such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive to “Sync data transfer.” (P. 21)

Set the mode of any IDE devices to “DMA.”
