Yamaha CRW F1DX

Yamaha CRW F1DX ... the revolutionary "DiscT@2" laser drawing system. To develop the CRW-F1 recorder, Yamaha adopted the Full CAV method for CD-R writing as well as CD-RW rewriting to ensure high-quality recording even at high speeds. In the Full CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) writing/rewriting mode, CRW-F1 maintains a constant disc rotation speed from start to end. By removing any fluctuation in the disc rotation speed, unwanted vibrations, which may affect the writing quality, are eliminated, thanks to Yamaha's newly developed traverse mechanism with dynamic damper.

The CRW-F1 is the first CD-RW recorder to offer the revolutionary DiscT@2 Laser Labeling System, which allows graphics and text to be burnt onto CD-R disc, eliminating the need for labels. Customers can put graphics, such as signatures, logos, memorandums, and photo images onto CD-R's unused area after data writing. This unique feature will certainly enhance the CD-R recording experience for many of the users. The CRW-F1 recorder has an "Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording" mode for writing audio CDs, and Data CDs, with less digital noise, or jitter. This unique feature enables recording of music CDs at quality levels that rival professionally prepared master discs. In addition to sound quality enhancements, reducing jitter slows the bit's edge deterioration that naturally occurs over time. In short, it extends the life of important data on media. The new "Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording" support 1x and 8x writing speeds addition to the original 4x writing speed previously available. When Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording mode is enabled, the system widens the lands and the pits, significantly reducing jitter created during CD-R recording, improving audio and music-recording quality to levels equal to professionally prepared music CDs. The CRW-F1 supports up to 870MB and can record maximum 79 minutes music data in Advanced Audio Master Quality Recording mode. Adding to these unique features, the CRW-F1 adds support for a new packet-writing format called CD-MRW (CD Mount Rainier Rewrite). CD-MRW is the next-generation of the packet-writing format, which features background formatting, defect management by the drive, and the ability to eject the disc during formatting.

Designed specifically to enhance the style and appeal of the contemporary computer workstations, Yamaha's all new CRW-F1 external models are not only geared to provide easy connectivity, reliable performance and high-quality top-speed CD recording, but also become an appealing, decorative part of any work environment.
