Troubleshooting

The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the front panel LED remains lit in
orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has not been
recognized). (

P. 60)

Disconnect the SCSI or IDE cable from the drive but leave the power cable
connected, then load a disc.

There may be problems with the disc itself. If the drive fails to recognize a variety
of discs including audio CDs, CD-ROMs, and blank CD-R/RW discs (the front
panel LED remains lit in orange after a disc is inserted), you should contact your
nearest Yamaha dealer.

The “Buffer Underrun” error message is displayed.

If your CD writing software supports the Buffer Underrun Protection, you must
activate the Buffer Underrun Protection. For more details, refer to the
documentation that came with your CD writing software.

For more effective writing, and to avoid causing “Buffer Underrun,” try the
following:

Lower the writing speed setting.

Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk.

Optimize the hard drive (Defragment the drive).

When writing, close other applications (including screen savers, etc.).

Turn hard disk power management off.

Select “Sync data transfer” for the setting of transfer mode of the SCSI
devices such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM drive, etc. (

P. 31)

For IDE devices, select “DMA” for the setting of transfer mode. (

P. 48)

Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later).

Close residential software.

Make sure any trouble does not stem form your CD writing software by
referring to the documentation that came with it.

Note

Errors can occur if you knock or move the CRW2200 drive while it is writing to disc.

Other problems

Do you have several kinds of CD writing software applications installed in the
same system?
Some CD writing software applications may conflict if installed together,
resulting in unstable operations.
