Features of the CRW3200IX Drive
High speed writing/reading
The CRW3200IX drive supports up to 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs, and up to
10X-speed writing/rewriting for CD-RW discs. In addition, the drive supports data
reading and digital audio data extraction at up to 40X speed.
Tip
• The Partial CAV method permits 24X-speed writing for CD-R discs.
• The CLV method and the 4X – 10X Full CAV method permit 10X-speed writing/
rewriting for CD-RW discs.
IEEE1394 interface
The CRW3200IX drive uses an IEEE1394 interface that enables you to use the drive
as soon as it is connected to the computer.
The CRW3200IX drive supports a hot plug function that enables you to connect/
disconnect the drive while the computer is turned on.
SafeBurn™ (Enhanced stability writing technology)
The generous 8 MB buffer memory provides sufficient data storage to enable stable
disc writing at high speeds. Even if data transfer from the computer is interrupted,
the Buffer Underrun Protection function is activated to save CD-R discs from a
writing error. (P. 35)
“Optimum Write Speed Control” adjusts the writing speed to the optimum rate for
every CD-R disc automatically. You can set the maximum writing speed with your
CD writing software.
• “Optimum Write Speed Control” can be activated when the maximum writing speed
is set at 12X or more.
• The minimum writing speed to be automatically selected is 8X. Manually set the
optimum writing speed if a writing speed supported by a disc is less than 8X.
High fidelity digital audio
The CRW3200IX drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed
using CD writing software, as well as recording digital audio with high fidelity even
at 24X-speed writing.
