Introduction
Features of the CRW2100IX Drive
High speed
The CRW2100IX 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.
Easy setup
Implementation of an IEEE1394 interface (also known as FireWire or i.LINK)
eliminates the need for drive configurations (device ID, termination, and so on).
You can connect and start using the drive whenever you wish without restarting
your computer.
CD TEXT support
The CRW2100IX 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
To ensure compatibility with a wide range of discs, technical data has been
exchanged with major disc manufacturers. 700MB discs are also supported.
High-fidelity audio
The CRW2100IX 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.
Reliable writing
Yamaha’s proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System
*1
improves jitter values
*2
to allow
the signal to be recorded accurately. In addition, the 8MB buffer memory and
Running OPC
*3 technology further enhance reliability.
Optimum speed
The CRW2100IX drive can write at an optimum speed
*4
if the CD-R disc does not
allow 12X- or 16X-speed writing.
