Troubleshooting
29
The disc keeps being ejected.
●
Has the disc been placed on the disc tray correctly?
The drive does not operate correctly.
●
Is the disc compatible with the CRW2100E drive?
●
Is there dust on the disc tray or on the disc itself?
●
Does the computer have a sufficient power supply?
The CRW2100E drive has a power consumption of 11W (when reading and
writing).
●
Does your computer have several different CD writing software installed?
If you use more than one CD writing software simultaneously, the behavior of
the drive can become unpredictable.
●
Is the CRW2100E drive connected to a high-speed device, such as a hard disk
drive?
If you connect two devices with quite different speeds using the same cable,
operation may become unstable.
The drive ejects or fails to read the disc, or the front panel LED remains
lit in orange after the disc has been loaded (meaning that the disc has
not been recognized). (

●
Disconnect the IDE cable from the drive but leave the power cable connected,
then load a disc.
●
There may be problems with the disc itself. If the drive fails to recognize a
variety of discs including audio CDs, CD-ROMs and blank CD-R/RW discs
(the front panel LED remains lit in orange after a disc inserted), you should
contact your nearest Yamaha dealer.
Errors occur when writing a disc at a high speed directly from a separate
CD-ROM drive to the CRW2100E drive.
●
One possible reason is that the CD-ROM drive is not suitable. Please use a
high-speed CD-ROM drive. However, for various reasons, you may still
encounter errors even if you are using a 32X-speed or faster CD-ROM drive.
Therefore, before attempting high-speed writing from another CD-ROM drive,
you should check that it is possible to do so by testing before writing.
