• Hard drive space
Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50MB to 100MB of free space as a
working area on the hard drive. When writing data on a CD-R/RW disc after
creating an image file, there must be enough free space on the hard drive to store
the image file in addition to the working area (a total of up to 1.1GB).
However, hard drive space for image files is not required when directly writing
onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW-F1DX drive
(on-the-fly writing).
Image file
An image file is data files that are collected to be written on a CD-R/RW disc. The file
is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details, refer to the
instruction for the CD writing software.
For IEEE1394 connection
• A spare PCI expansion slot or a CardBus slot to install an IEEE1394 interface
card (if one has not been installed)
• IEEE1394 port
An optional IEEE1394 interface card (OHCI compatible) is required to connect
the CRW-F1DX drive for the computer without an IEEE1394 port.
The IEEE1394 interface cards that have been already recognized to support the
CRW-F1DX drive are as follows.
For the latest information about IEEE1394 interface cards supporting the CRW-
F1DX drive, refer to the following websites.

Some IEEE1394 interface cards may not support the CRW-F1DX drive. Even if the
interface card operates properly in the computer, the interface card may not support
IEEE1394 interface CD-R/RW drives. For details, refer to the instruction for the
IEEE1394 interface card.
Yamaha recommends that you use an IEEE1394 interface card listed above that has
been recognized to support the CRW-F1DX drive.
