Introduction
Features of the CRW2100E Drive
High speed
The CRW2100E drive supports up to 16X speed writing of a CD-R disc, and up to
10X speed writing of a CD-RW disc. For example, an audio CD (79 minutes/
700MB) can be created in approximately 5 minutes. With newly adopted Partial
CAV writing method (See the following column), you can write a disc by directly
transferring content data from a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive. Data
reading at up to 40X speed is supported.
CD TEXT support
The CRW2100E drive is compatible to CD TEXT format. Information such as the
song name or artist name can be recorded using writing software. The text data
on the disc you create can be displayed by a CD player that is compatible with
CD TEXT.
Wide compatibility
Compatibility assurance data obtained through exchange of technical data with
major disc manufacturers ensures compatibility with discs from a very wide range
of manufacturers. 700MB discs are also supported.
High-fidelity audio
The CRW2100E supports extracting digital audio data at up to 40X speed, as well
as recording digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at 16X speed.
Also, the built-in digital audio output is ideal for pure quality of audio playback
when connected to a digital audio input of the computer’s sound card or so on.
