Yamaha CRW3200IX CD Player User Manual

CD-ROM drive
The CRW3200IX drive cannot be used to boot the computer or to set up an operating
system.
Hard drive space
Writing data on a CD-R/RW disc requires 50 MB to 100 MB of free space as a
working area on the hard drive. When writing data on a CD-R/RW disc after
creating an image file, there must be enough free space on the hard drive to store
the image file in addition to the working area (a total of up to 900 MB).
However, hard drive space for image files is not required when directly writing
onto a CD-R/RW disc from a hard drive or CD-ROM using the CRW3200IX
drive (on-the-fly writing).
Image file
You can collect the data files to be written on a CD-R/RW disc into a single image file.
The image file is useful for writing the same data onto multiple discs. For details, refer
to the documentation that comes with the CD writing software.
A spare PCI expansion slot or a CardBas slot for an IEEE1394 interface card
(if one hasnt been installed or built-in)
IEEE1394 port
An optional IEEE1394 interface card (OHCI compatible) is required to connect
the CRW3200IX drive for the computer without an IEEE1394 port.
The IEEE1394 interface cards that have been already recognized to support the
CRW3200IX drive are as follows.
For the latest information about IEEE1394 interface cards supporting the
CRW3200IX drive, refer to the following websites.

Some IEEE1394 interface cards may not support the CRW3200IX drive. Even if the
interface card operates properly in the computer, the interface card may not support
IEEE1394 interface CD-R/RW drives. For details, refer to the documentation that
comes with the IEEE1394 interface card.
Yamaha recommends that you use an IEEE1394 interface card listed above that has
been recognized to support the CRW3200IX drive.
