For Windows Me

1

Follow step 1 and 2 on page 30, and uncheck “Enable digital CD audio for this 

CD-ROM device.”

Start “Windows Media Player.” In the menu bar, select Tools, Options and CD 

Audio tab.

Uncheck “Digital playback” in the “Playback Settings” item.

No data can be read from any CDs, a disc is ejected spontaneously, or the 

status LED does not light when a disc is inserted. (The LED does not change 

to blinking blue and then lighting blue.) (P. 2) 

Disconnect the SCSI cable from your drive while the AC adapter is connected. Insert 

the disc once again. If a specific disc is automatically ejected or cannot be read, the 

disc itself may have a problem. If the drive does not accept any compatible discs 

(and the status LED does not light), contact the store of purchase or your nearest 

Yamaha dealer (listed at the back of this manual).

The error message “Buffer Underrun” is displayed.

If your CD writing software supports Buffer Underrun Protection, it is required to be 

activated. For details, refer to the instruction for the CD writing software.

To prevent the occurrence of a buffer underrun and to increase the efficiency of data 

writing, try the following:

– Reduce the data writing speed.

– Create an image file on the hard drive.

– Optimize the hard drive. (Defragmentation)

– Do not start any application software including screen savers during data writing.

– Deactivate the power management for the hard drive.

– Set the data transfer mode of any SCSI devices such as a hard drive or CD-ROM 

drive to “Sync data transfer.” (P. 21) 

Set the mode of any IDE devices to “DMA.”
