Technology that reduces phase interference of the laser beam, so that it shines accurately on the disc. *2. Jitter value An important measure of recording quality. This has been improved 25% compared with Yamaha models not using this technology. *3. Running OPC CD-R/RW discs vary by manufacturer in their recording characteristics, and the laser output required to write data differs by disc. - Page 11 Introduction About IEEE1394 IEEE1394 is an industry standard approved by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). The serial interface has a broad bandwidth and is fast enough to bidirectionally transfer large amounts of digital video and audio data between electronic devices including computer peripherals. Also known as FireWire and i.LINK, the IEEE1394 interface allows units to transfer data or various controls over a single IEEE1394 interface cable.

Page 19: Connections
Connections Before connecting the CRW8824IX drive and the computer as described below, make sure that you have installed appropriate CD writing software (P . 3, 4). If you newly install the CD writing software, first disconnect all IEEE1394 devices from your computer. After properly installing the software, you are ready to connect the devices. - Page 20 Setup Procedures 4 Connect the other end of the power cable to an AC outlet. n The power unit inside the CRW8824IX will automatically adjust itself to the local voltage (100 to 240 volts). 5 Press the POWER switch on the drive’s front panel to turn the unit on. n Make sure both LEDs (ON/DISC and READ/WRITE) on the front panel light up when you press the POWER switch.

- Page 22 Setup Procedures Connection to a Macintosh computer n You can connect the interface cable to either IEEE1394 port on the CRW8824IX drive. n The IEEE1394 standard defines the maximum cable length of a single interface cable as 4.5 meters. Bear this in mind if using an interface cable longer than the supplied one.
- Page 23 Notes on Connecting IEEE1394 Devices Remember the following notes when connecting the CRW8824IX drive to the host computer along with other IEEE1394 devices. For optimum performance of writing a CD, connect the CRW8824IX directly or solely to the host computer. Do not connect or disconnect any IEEE1394 devices while the CRW8824IX is in operation (especially when writing to a disc).
