Compatible Discs

CD-R discs

• The CRW3200UX drive can write at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X or 24X speed.
• CD-R discs can be played back on a CD-ROM drive or a CD player.

• 24X-speed writing is enabled with Partial CAV method. (P. 7)
• Check the writing speeds your disc supports prior to writing.

CD-RW discs

• The CRW3200UX drive can write/rewrite at 2X or 4X speed.
• CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) 

that supports “CD-RW” discs.

Some discs support only 2X speed.

High Speed CD-RW discs

• The CRW3200UX drive can write/rewrite at 4X, 8X or 10X speed.
• High Speed CD-RW discs can be read/played back on a CD-RW drive 

that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo or a device (e.g. CD-ROM drive) 
that supports “CD-RW” discs.

• When using the packet writing method (P. 36) for writing/rewriting onto High 

Speed CD-RW discs, you can select the 4X – 10X Full CAV method. For more 
information refer to the documentation that comes with your CD writing 
software. (Your CD writing software must support the Full CAV method, as 
does the CD Writing software that comes with the CRW3200UX drive.)

• The Full CAV method is recommended when opening and editing a file on a 

CD-RW disc with an application software.

• In order to write, erase, read or play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a CD-

R/RW drive that bears the High Speed CD-RW logo. When using a CD-ROM 
drive to read/play back High Speed CD-RW discs, use a drive that supports 
CD-RW discs.
If these discs are used with a CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-
RW logo, the discs may not be recognized, resulting in a computer not 
operating properly or other malfunctions occurring.
Refer to the YAMAHA website below prior to attempting to read/play back 
these discs on a YAMAHA CD-R/RW drive not bearing the High Speed CD-
RW logo.
