Before Use

Supported Discs

The CRW2200IX drive can write to discs that carry the following logos:

CD-R discs*1

The CRW2200IX drive can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X, or 20X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD player.

Notes

16X- or 20X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 7)

For 8X or faster writing, use CD-R discs that match their respective writing speeds.

CD-RW discs*2

There are two types of CD-RW discs: those that support write/rewrite speeds of 1X, 2X, and 4X, and those that support only 2X. The CRW2200IX drive can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed on the first type of disc, and at 2X on the second type of disc. These discs can be read/played on a device (e.g., CD- ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”

High Speed CD-RW discs*3

These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200IX drive can write/rewrite these discs at 4X, 8X, or 10X speed. These discs can be read/played by a CD-RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo, or by a device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”

Note

10X-speed writing/rewriting is enabled with the CLV method, and the 4X-10X Full CAV method. (P. 8)

• In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/RW drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must be used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs, the drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.

If these discs are used in a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in the computer not operating correctly or other malfunctions occurring.
