E-IDE (ATAPI) Connection Set Up

9 Connect the audio cable. (If necessary)

You can play audio CDs on the CRW2200E and listen through your computer’s
sound card.

Notes

• Audio is available from the headphones or speakers connected to the headphone jack

located on the front panel of the CRW2200E (this is convenient if you have no sound card
in your computer). In this case, you do not need to connect an audio cable.

• When creating an audio CD, if you use the IDE cable to send the signal, you do not need to

connect an audio cable.

• If you use the CRW2200E as a supplemental drive for the unit, and the CD-ROM drive or

DVD-ROM drive is already connected to the sound card, YAMAHA recommends you
playback audio CDs using the existing drive.

There are two methods of connecting the unit and the sound card: an analog
connection and a digital connection.

Connecting the analog audio cable

Connect one end (the end which has one connector) of the included audio cable to
the ANALOG AUDIO OUT connector on the rear panel of the CRW2200E.
Make sure to check the connector direction according to the figure below.
There are two connectors at the opposite end of the audio cable: a vertically-
mounted type (PH) and a horizontally-mounted type (MPC). Choose the one that
matches your soundcard’s connector and leave the other free.
