Yamaha’s proprietary Pure-Phase Laser System (patent applied for)
This technology reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it projects
accurately onto the disc. Jitter value an important measure of recording quality,
has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this
technology.

Running OPC (Optimum Power Control)
Running OPC automatically adjusts the output of the laser according to the
characteristics of the disc being used. Running OPC provides greatly enhanced
recording reliability for various manufacturer’s discs.
High-fidelity digital audio
The CRW2200E drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed,
as well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at
20X speed. Also, the built-in digital audio output is ideal for the pure transmission of
an audio signal when connected to the SPDIF (digital audio) input of the computer's
sound card.
CD TEXT support
Information such as the song name or artist name can be recorded on Audio CDs
using CD creation software. The text data on the created disc can be displayed on a
CD player that is compatible with the CD TEXT format.
