Partial CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) The CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) method is generally used to write data on a CD-R disc. In writing using the CLV method, the disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data writing speed (data transfer rate) constant on all parts of the disc. In contrast, the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) method exercises control so as to keep the disc rotation speed constant. Since the CAV method makes it possible to substantially increase the maximum data transf

Note The CRW3200E drive is set at slave by default. If you connect the drive as the sole secondary master, set the drive to master. If you connect an IDE device solely to an IDE cable, set the device to master and connect the drive to the end of the cable. If you start up the operating system from a SCSI hard drive, etc., there may be no IDE device connected to the primary. In such a case, Yamaha recommends that the CRW3200E drive be connected as the primary master. You may find that
