High-fidelity digital audio
The CRW2200IX drive supports extraction of digital audio data at up to 40X speed,
as well as the recording of digital sound with complete fidelity even when writing at
20X speed.
CD TEXT support
Information such as the song name or artist name can be recorded on Audio CDs
using CD creation software. The text data on the created disc can be displayed on a
CD player that is compatible with the CD TEXT format.
*1 16X- or 20X-speed writing is enabled with the Partial CAV method. (

P. 7)
*2 10X-speed writing/rewriting is enabled with the CLV method and the 4X-10X Full CAV method. (

P. 8)
*3 The optimal writing speed automatically selected will be between 8X speed and the maximum speed designated
for that disc. If the disc is rated at lower than 8X speed writing, you need to designate the most suitable writing
speed manually.
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 transfer large amounts of digital video and audio data bi-directionally
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. Unlike legacy serial
interfaces such as RS-232C, IEEE1394 allows for daisy-chaining devices (serial
connection) with data transfer possible between any two devices on the chain.
IEEE1394 also supports a tree (parallel) connection of devices. In addition to
this flexibility, IEEE1394 also eliminates the need for complicated settings such
as device ID and termination as found with SCSI (Small Computer System
Interface) type interfaces. As of this writing, IEEE1394 supports three different
data transfer rates: 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 400 Mbps.
