This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology. Running OPC CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc.

  • Page 18 Each of the SCSI devices connected to the computer is identified by its SCSI ID number. You need to assign a number from “0” to “7” for each SCSI device. Commonly, ID number “7” is reserved for the computer’s SCSI adapter card itself. Therefore, the CRW8824S can actually be assigned an ID number from “0”...

  • Page 44 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.
  • Page 45 (Europe) The most recent user support information, including firmware updates, can be found in the CD-R area of Yamaha’s web site. Please check this information regularly.
