Useable discs
CD-R discs
• The CRW3200E drive can write at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X or 24X speed.
• CD-R discs can be played back on a CD-ROM drive or a CD player.
• 24X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 6)
• Check the writing speeds your disc supports prior to writing.
CD-RW discs
• The CRW3200E drive can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed.
• CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive)
that supports “CD-RW” discs.
Some discs support only 2X speed.
High Speed CD-RW discs
• The CRW3200E drive can write/rewrite at 4X, 8X or 10X speed.
• High Speed CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a CD-RW drive
that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo or a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive)
that supports “CD-RW” discs.
• When using the packet writing method (P. 40) for writing/rewriting onto High
Speed CD-RW discs, you can select the 4X – 10X Full CAV method. For more
information refer to the documentation that comes with your CD writing
software. (Your CD writing software must support the Full CAV method, as
does the CD Writing software that comes with the CRW3200E drive.)
• The Full CAV method is recommended when opening and editing a file on a
CD-RW disc with an application.
• In order to write, erase, read or play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a CD-
R/RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo. When using a CD-ROM
drive to read/play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a drive that supports
CD-RW discs.
If these discs are used with a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-
RW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in a computer not
operating properly or other malfunctions occurring.
Refer to the YAMAHA website below prior to attempting to read/play back
these discs on a YAMAHA CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-
RW logo.
