Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha CDR400tx drive. Please read this manual before using the drive in order to make the best use of the superior CDR400tx functions. After reading, please retain this man- ual for future reference.
The CDR400tx can both record and read seven different formats: CD- ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, CD-DA, CD-Bridge (multisession), CD- Extra, and Video CD. The CDR400tx is also equipped with an analog audio output terminal (headphones) for CD-DA. SCSI 2 for High-Volume, High-Speed Data Transfer The CDR400tx features SCSI 2, the second generation SCSI interface for connecting computers and peripheral devices.
Track at Once In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. Discs recorded in this mode can be played in the CDR400tx anytime. They cannot, however, be played in other CD players until the final record- ing is made.
