Yamaha CRW2100SXZ CD Player User Manual

For example, if you try to calculate an average rip speed for this CAV-equipped recorder,
depending on system configurations and the quality of the audio disc used, you will be
able to reach an average speed somewhere in the 30x neighborhood (which, in practice,
is very fast) allowing you to rip a full disc in about 3 minutes. But, if you would like to
measure the maximum rip speed achieved, you will notice that reaching 40x will happen
towards the very end of the disc.
How can I measure the audio ripping speed of my new driver?
Most CD mastering software could measure audio ripping speeds of any CD-RW,
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. However, since any measurement is influenced by
many different elements (including system configuration, length of the audio CD itself),
most of these programs are not able to provide an accurate reading. Whileyou may try
several CD speed measurement software titles out there, we recommend CDSPEED99
which could be obtained from the web at http://www.cdspeed2000.com/.
