Introduction

this
Operation Guide
.
What is CDR100/102?
The Yamaha CDR100/102 allows you to record data onto
Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) discs. It can also be used to
play discs just like a typical CD-ROM drive
*
. CD-ROM is an
acronym for Compact Disc Read Only Memory, which is a
read-only medium, so you can read data, but you cannot
record new data.
CDR100/102 uses a special kind of disc for recording. Its
appearance is similar to that of a typical CD-ROM, however,
the base material, manufacturing techniques, and recording
principles are different. CDR100/102 uses a laser to write data
to disc. Once the laser light hits the disc, the color and
reflective qualities of the disc change. Since this reflective
quality cannot be changed after initial exposure, the data
cannot be erased or changed.
Now that multimedia, which encompasses text, graphics,
audio, and video, has become a reality, CD-ROM, with its
550MB to 650MB storage capacity, has an important
supporting role to play.
* CDR100/102 will not play commercially made discs whose
center-hole location does not conform to the Orange book
specification.
