Yamaha assumes no liability for the inability to write/playback discs because of their format.

Compatible Discs

Discs that can be written on
The CRW3200UX drive can write on the following discs. For the latest information about discs previously checked for compatibility with the drive, refer to the following website. YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drive website URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/ CD-R discs
The CRW3200UX drive can write at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X or 24X speed. CD-R discs can be played back on a CD-ROM drive or a CD player. Note
24X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 7) Check the writing speeds your disc supports prior to writing.

CD-RW discs

The CRW3200UX drive can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed. CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) that supports CD-RW discs. Note
Some discs support only 2X speed.

High Speed CD-RW discs

The CRW3200UX drive can write/rewrite at 4X, 8X or 10X speed. High Speed CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a CD-RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo or a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) that supports CD-RW discs. Note
When using the packet writing method (P. 36) for writing/rewriting onto High Speed CD-RW discs, you can select the 4X 10X Full CAV method. For more information refer to the documentation that comes with your CD writing software. (Your CD writing software must support the Full CAV method, as does the CD Writing software that comes with the CRW3200UX drive.) The Full CAV method is recommended when opening and editing a file on a CD-RW disc with an application software. In order to write, erase, read or play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a CDR/RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo. When using a CD-ROM drive to read/play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a drive that supports CD-RW discs. If these discs are used with a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CDRW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in a computer not operating properly or other malfunctions occurring. Refer to the YAMAHA website below prior to attempting to read/play back these discs on a YAMAHA CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CDRW logo. URL: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/

Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity)
The CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method is generally used to write data on a CD-R disc. In writing using the CLV method, the disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data writing speed (data transfer rate) constant on all parts of the disc. In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method exercises control so as to keep the disc rotation speed constant. Since the CAV method makes it possible to substantially increase the maximum data transfer rate without straining of the drive, it is adopted today for most CD-ROM drives. CD formats define the constant linear density of written data so that the amount of written data per disc rotation will increase as the writing point moves from the inner track to the outer track. With the CAV method, therefore, data is transferred at a higher rate when it is written on the outer tracks of the disc. To achieve 24X-speed writing, the CRW3200UX drive employs the Partial CAV method, which is a combination of the CAV method for inner tracks and the CLV method for outer tracks. The Partial CAV method controls the disc rotation speed so that the CRW3200UX drive starts writing at 18X speed on inner tracks, increasing the speed to 24X as the read/write head moves outward and holds the speed at 24X on outer tracks.
The CRW3200UX drive supports 8 cm discs.
Use only circular discs. Do not use any irregular shaped discs such as heart-shaped or star-shaped discs to avoid the risk of malfunction.

Is the disc set properly (horizontally) on the disc tray? Set the disc properly, and close the disc tray. Is the disc dusty or dirty? Remove dust or dirt from the disc using an air spray or a dry soft cloth. To avoid damaging discs, wipe the disc gently from the center perpendicular to the edge of the disc. Does the drive accept other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc, etc.)? If a specific disc is ejected, the disc itself may be damaged or deformed. If all discs are ejected, contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).
No data can be read from a disc.
Is the disc ejected without order? Refer to The disc is ejected without order (or it comes out spontaneously). (Troubleshooting, Item 5) Is the disc compatible with the drive? (P. 6, 30) Be sure that the disc is compatible with the CRW3200UX drive. Is the disc dusty or dirty? Remove dust or dirt from the disc using an air spray or a dry soft cloth. To avoid damaging discs, wipe the disc gently from the center perpendicular to the edge of the disc. Can data be read from other discs (audio CD, CD-ROM, etc.)? If no data can be read from a specific disc, data may be written in a format that the drive cannot recognize, or the disc itself may be damaged or deformed. Note that no data can be read from blank discs, and the CRW3200UX drive infrequently fail to read data correctly from a disc even if the disc is compatible with the drive.

Technical Notes

Buffer Underrun Protection Function
CD-R/RW drives are equipped with a buffer memory, which temporarily stores data that is being transferred. When the buffer memory becomes empty due to a delay of data transfer for any reason, a writing error happens. Such condition is defined as buffer underrun, and such an error is defined as a buffer underrun error. Buffer Underrun Protection is featured in the CRW3200UX drive. When buffer underrun almost happens, Buffer Underrun Protection temporarily suspends the writing process. Writing resumes when enough data has accumulated in the buffer memory. Buffer Underrun Protection in the CRW3200UX drive is extremely accurate, resulting in seamless recording before and after suspension. Test writing
Test writing is a function to check for the possible occurrence of buffer underrun in your computer environment. When Buffer Underrun Protection of the CD writing software is activated, the test writing function cannot be operated. Buffer Underrun Protection should be deactivated to operate the test writing function.

Disc-at-Once (DAO)

This method is used to write all data onto a disc in one operation. It writes multiple pieces of data without placing a space between data, starting with the innermost track of the disc. Once data is written by this method, no data can be added to the same disc even if there is free space available on the disc. This method is useful for making a backup copy of an entire disc.

Track-at-Once (TAO)

This method is used to write data on a disc on a track-by-track basis. A track can be defined as the smallest unit of area that contains an ordinary program, image file, text file, etc. This method enables you to add data to the same disc, one track of data at a time, as long as there is free space available on the disc. A disc that contains data written in several sessions is defined as a multi-session disc. An area that records data and management information (Lead-in/Lead-out) is defined as a session. Lead-in and Lead-out are signals written for stating the starting and ending points of one session. Note
Ordinary audio CD players can only play back single-session discs or the first session on a multi-session disc. Do not record audio data on the second and subsequent sessions.

Session-at-Once (SAO)

This method is used to write data on a disc on a session-by-session basis. Unlike Track-at-Once described above, Session-at-Once enables you to record multiple tracks onto a disc at a time. CD EXTRA, for example, uses this method to write multiple pieces of audio data (or multiple tracks) in the first session and information required for computers in the second session. This method enables you to add data into the same disc, one session at a time, as long as there is free space available on the disc. A disc that contains data written in several sessions by this method is defined as a multi-session disc, like a disc written by the Track-at-Once method.

Packet Writing

This method is used to record data onto a disc on a file-by-file basis. This method divides a track into small segments called packets so that data can be written on a packet-by-packet basis, which means that you can write data in much the same way as you copy data to a floppy or hard drive. Since the data can be written easily, packet writing is proper to daily data backup. Packet writing also enables you to add packets to a disc as long as there is free space available on the disc.
