Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices
Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW2200IX drive to the host
computer along with other IEEE1394 devices.
● For optimum performance when writing a CD, connect the CRW2200IX drive
directly or solely to the host computer.
● Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW2200IX
drive is in operation (especially when writing to a disc).
● If there is a slower device connected between the host computer and the
CRW2200IX drive, the data transfer between the CRW2200IX drive and the
host computer will be slowed, which may cause a failure in writing a CD.
● The IEEE1394 ports on the CRW2200IX drive have 6-pin connectors, but do not
supply power (IEEE1394 bus power).
● Do not turn off the CRW2200IX drive while its IEEE1394-connected computer
is turned on. Otherwise, it may cause malfunctions on your computer or other
IEEE1394 devices connected together, depending on the specifications of the
IEEE1394 interface card (host adapter) or the writing software you are using on
the computer.
● Avoid creating a looped connection that sends data output from a device back to
the same device. The illustration below shows an example of such a loop (at the
host computer).
