No data can be read from any CDs, a disc is ejected spontaneously, or the
LED does not light when a disc is inserted. (The LED does not change to
blinking blue and then lighting blue.) (P. 2)
Remove the IDE cable from the CRW-F1 drive while the 4-pin internal power cable
is connected to the drive, and insert the disc once again. If a specific disc is
automatically ejected or cannot be read, the disc itself may have a problem.
If the drive does not accept any compatible discs (and the LED does not light),
contact the store of purchase or your nearest Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this
manual).

The error message “Buffer Underrun” is displayed.
If your CD writing software supports Buffer Underrun Protection, it is required to be
activated. For more details, refer to the instruction for the CD writing software.
To prevent the occurrence of a buffer underrun and to increase the efficiency of data
writing, try the following:
– Reduce the data writing speed.
– Create an image file on the hard drive.
– Optimize the hard drive. (Defragmentation)
– Do not start any application software including screen savers during data writing.
– Deactivate the power management for the hard drive.
– Set the data transfer mode of any IDE device such as a hard drive or CD-ROM
drive to “DMA.” (P. 24)
– Deactivate Windows Active Desktop.
– Quit all memory-resident software programs.
– Check your CD writing software settings with the instruction for it.
A writing error may happen if the drive is vibrated while data is being written on a CD-R
or a CD-RW disc.
