Technology that reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it shines accurately on the disc. *2 Jitter value An important measure of recording quality. This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology. *3 Running OPC (Optimum Power Control) CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc.
A spare PCI expansion slot for a SCSI card (if one hasn’t been installed yet). A SCSI card to connect SCSI devices (including the CRW2100S drive) to your computer. Make sure it has an internal bus connector. Yamaha recommends any of Adaptec’s AHA-2940-series cards (PCI slot).

Troubleshooting Please also refer to the YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site for more information. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ Europe: http://www.yamaha-yste.com/ The drive does not power up. Is the 4-pin power cable from the computer’ s power supply attached correctly? The computer does not start up.
Page 43
Troubleshooting Are the pins and holes on the SCSI connectors straight and not deformed? Check the connectors. Is the terminator on the CRW2100S drive set correctly? It should be set to ON only if it is the last device on the SCSI chain. Otherwise, it should be set to OFF.

CDs, CD-ROMs and blank CD-R/RW discs (the front panel LED remains lit in orange after any discs have been inserted), you should contact your nearest Yamaha dealer. Errors occur when writing a disc at a high speed directly from a separate CD-ROM drive to the CRW2100S drive.
Appendix Writing Modes Disc-at-Once (DAO) This mode is used when writing a complete disc in a single pass without pausing. Data cannot be added later, even if the full capacity of the blank disc has not been used. Example: General CD-ROM 650MB Data Track 1...
Appendix Session-at-Once (SAO) As a writing method that combines the advantages of the above-mentioned “Disc- at-Once” and “Track-at-Once,” you can combine multiple tracks into one session and write them, and then add additional data. For example, this is the writing method used to create a CD EXTRA format CD. The music tracks will be recorded in the first session, and the data will be recorded in the second session.
To ensure more reliable operations and enhanced performance of the drive, updates to the firmware will be made available.
