Cd-Da - Yamaha A4000 Owner's Manual

7. DISK COMMANDS
• The data transfer test will take as long as actually
writing to the disk, but since a CD-R disk will become
unusable if an error occurs while actually writing to it,
it is advisable to run the test to check for potential
errors before actually writing the data.

Knob 1 to highlight display line 2
Writes samples stored on disk to CD-R or CD-RW disk to
produce an audio CD.
• In order to use this function an appropriate CD-R or CD-RW drive
must be connected to the A5000/A4000 SCSI bus.
• CD-RW disks are written using the "Disk at Once" method, so once
a disk has been written, further data cannot be written to that disk.
• CD-R and CD-RW disks can only be written to from disks formatted
by the A5000/A4000.
• Use a Yamaha CD-R/CR-RW drive such as the CRW4416SX to
write CD-R/CD-RW disks.
• Errors may occur if you attempt to write to a CD-R or CD-RW disk
while a computer is connected to the sampler's SCSI bus.
• A sufficient amount of parameter memory must be available in the
sampler in order to use this function. Ideally, the CD-DA function
should be used after turning the unit's power on, and before any
data has been loaded or recorded.
• Only samples having a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency can be written
to CD-R/CD-RW.
• Samples digitally recorded to the A5000/A4000 from commercial
CDs in a CD player cannot be written to CD-R/CD-RW.
• Use the BACKUP RW-ERASE function to erase data from a
recorded CD-RW disk.
[Operation]
1.
Use Knob 4 to specify the CD-R drive ID.
2.
Use Knob 5 to set the write speed.
3.
Use Knobs 3 and 5 to specify the samples to be backed up for
each track (Knob 2)
4.
Use Knob 1 (EXEC) or Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) to initiate execu-
tion. When the confirmation display appears, press Knob 5 (YES)
to execute the CD-DA operation.
• If Knob 1 (EXEC) is used to execute the CD-DA command, the
command menu will be recalled after execution has finished. If
Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command, the CD-
display will be retained so you can continue and write to other CD-
R/CD-RW disks.

[ Press] EXEC (Execute)
Press this knob to call the CD-DA confirmation display.
Press Knob 5 (YES) to actually execute the CD-DA oper-

Knob 4
[ Turn] CDR DriveID
Selects the drive ID of the CD-R or CD-RW drive to which
the samples are to be written. When a CD-R or CD-RW
drive is selected, the drive's maker and product number
will be displayed.
[Range] SCSI 0 — SCSI 7
• If a connected CD-R or CD-RW drive cannot be
selected, go to the disk select display (DISK-DISK-
Disk) and check the mount/unmount status and SCSI
ID settings of the device (page 173).
[ Press] TEST
Executes a data transfer test for the selected CD-R or
CD-RW drive. A disk must be loaded in the drive before
the test can be initiated, but no data will be written to the
disk.
• If the test produces an error, choose the next slowest
write speed (Knob 5) and run the test again. The
write speed setting is appropriate if the test produces
no errors. Use the error-free write speed when actu-
ally writing to a disk.
• The data transfer test will take as long as actually
writing to the disk, but since a CD-R disk will become
unusable if an error occurs while actually writing to it,
it is advisable to run the test to check for potential
errors before actually writing the data.
