IEEE1394 cable
The IEEE1394 standard for maximum length of cable between devices is 4.5 meters.
The length of the included IEEE1394 cable is one meter.
For USB connection
• A spare PCI expansion slot or a CardBus slot to install a USB 2.0 interface card (if
one has not been installed)
• USB port (USB 2.0 compatible)
A USB port is required to connect the CRW-F1DX drive to the computer. The
CRW-F1DX drive needs to be connected to the USB port on the computer. The
drive connected to the computer via a USB hub may not operate properly.
To fully utilize the CRW-F1DX drive, a USB 2.0 port and EHCI (Enhanced Host
Controller Interface) compliant driver are required.
If a computer has a USB port with USB 1.1 specifications, Yamaha recommends
that a USB 2.0 interface card be installed in the computer.
The USB 2.0 interface card that has been already recognized to support the CRW-
F1DX drive is as follows.
For the latest information about USB 2.0 interface cards supporting the CRW-
F1DX drive, refer to the following websites.
