Setup Procedures

15When using Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition/Me, follow Step 14 to open the “Device Manager” window, then double-click on the “YAMAHA CRW2200E” icon to open the “YAMAHA CRW2200E Properties” window, and click on the “Settings” tab to select it. A screen similar to the one below appears. Make sure that the “Sync data transfer” check box is not checked. (There is no need to set the “Sync data transfer” check box if it does not appear.) By checking the “DMA” check box, you can enable high-speed data transfer between the CRW2200E drive and the computer. However, depending on your computer system, this may cause operations to become unstable. If this occurs, uncheck “DMA.”

* This is a screen shown in the Windows Me environment.

Notes on DMA Settings

•Windows NT does not have the “DMA” setting. Nor do you need to set the “Sync data transfer” parameter, since it will not appear.

•For Windows 2000 Professional

To set the “DMA,” log on as an Administrator. Open the “Device Manager” window, and double-click on “IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers,” then double-click on the IDE Channel icon connected to your unit. On the displayed window, click on the “Advanced Settings” tab, and choose “Transfer Mode” to select it.

• Enabling or disabling the “Sync data transfer” option does not affect the CRW2200E drive.
