Supported Discs
CD-R discs

The CRW2200 drive can write to these discs at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X, or
20X speed. These discs can be played back in a CD-ROM drive or a CD

write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed on the first type of disc, and at 2X on the
second type of disc. These discs can be read/played on a device (e.g., CD-
ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”
High Speed CD-RW discs
*3
These discs allow writing/rewriting at 4X to 10X speeds. The CRW2200 drive
can write/rewrite these discs at 4X, 8X, or 10X speed. These discs can be read/

device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”

Full CAV method. (→P. 7)
• In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/RW
drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must be
used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs, the
drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.
• If these discs are used in a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the
