Yamaha CRW2200IX Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices

Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices

Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW2200IX drive to the host computer along with other IEEE1394 devices.

●For optimum performance when writing a CD, connect the CRW2200IX drive directly or solely to the host computer.

●Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW2200IX drive is in operation (especially when writing to a disc).

●If there is a slower device connected between the host computer and the CRW2200IX drive, the data transfer between the CRW2200IX drive and the host computer will be slowed, which may cause a failure in writing a CD.

●The IEEE1394 ports on the CRW2200IX drive have 6-pin connectors, but do not supply power (IEEE1394 bus power).

●Do not turn off the CRW2200IX drive while its IEEE1394-connected computer is turned on. Otherwise, it may cause malfunctions on your computer or other IEEE1394 devices connected together, depending on the specifications of the IEEE1394 interface card (host adapter) or the writing software you are using on the computer.

●Avoid creating a looped connection that sends data output from a device back to the same device. The illustration below shows an example of such a loop (at the host computer).
