You can play audio CDs on the CRW2200E drive and listen through your
computer’s sound card.
Notes on playing audio CDs
• Audio is available from the headphones or speakers connected to the headphone jack
located on the front panel of the CRW2200E drive (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 drive 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 supplied audio cable to
the ANALOG AUDIO OUT connector on the rear panel of the CRW2200E
drive. 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.
