Troubleshooting

Does the LED on the front panel of the CRW3200E drive light correctly when a 
disc is inserted?

When a disc is inserted, the LED will blink blue for a moment and then light 
blue. (P. 2)

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 may be damaged or deformed.

If the LED on the front panel remains purple (stating that the drive cannot 
recognize the disc) no matter what type of disc is inserted, contact the store of 
purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).

The playback of an audio CD (CD-DA) cannot be heard.

Check that the volume is not set to the minimum level.
If you cannot hear the playback audio from headphones or external speakers 
connected to your computer, be sure that the audio cable is properly connected 
to the CRW3200E drive and the sound card. (P. 19, 20)
For Windows Me/XP, change the settings as follows. (If Windows Media 
Player 7.0 or later is used with Windows Me/XP, this problem can happen since 
the digital playback option is activated by default setting.)

For Windows Me

1

In the Device manager dialog box (P. 22), select YAMAHA CRW3200E 
Properties
 and then Properties tab. 

2

Uncheck the “Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device” under 
“Digital CD Playback.”

Uncheck
(This screen is an example 
on Windows Me.)
