Basic settings for the CD-RW drive Before you actually write data to a CD, you will need to make basic settings for the CD-RW drive. 1 In the Work Navigate section, repeatedly press the [CD] key or hold down the [CD] key and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to access the SETTING page of the CD screen. 1 2 6 453 87 1 CD-RW MEDIA ERASE Erases the data that was written to CD-RW media. For details, refer to "Erasing CD-RW media" (→ p. 105). B AUDIO WRITE SPEED Selects the speed at which audio data will be written to CD-R/RW media. C TEST button Specifies whether a writing test will be performed when you execute writing. D WRITE button Specifies whether the actual writing operation will be performed. E UNDERRUN PROTECT button Enables/disables the function that prevents buffer underrun (an error that can occur when data transfer cannot keep up with writing speed). F DATA WRITE SPEED This indicates the speed at which data other than CD audio (e.g., backup data or WAV files) is written to CD-R/RW media. Normally this will indicate x8. This will indicate x4 if the media supports a maximum writing speed of x4. This field is for display only, and cannot be edited. G COMPARE button If this button is on, the original data will be compared with the backed-up data or the exported WAV file after a backup or export operation is performed, to check whether any errors occurred while writing the data. H MOTOR ON ACCESS/DISC IN button Selects one of the following two choices to specify how the drive will operate when CD-R/RW media is inserted. ACCESS The drive will spin only when access is required. DISC IN The drive will spin whenever media is inserted. 2 Move the cursor to the AUDIO WRITE SPEED field, and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the writing speed. You can select either x8 (eight times as fast as audio playback) or x4 (four times as fast as audio playback). Normally you should use x8, and drop down to x4 if errors occur during writing. 3 Use the TEST button and WRITE button to select the writing operation(s). The TEST button and WRITE button specify whether a writing test and/or the actual writing operation will be performed. The combination of buttons that are on will determine the operation(s) that will occur, as follows. Only the TEST button on .........Only a writing test will be performed. Only the WRITE button on ......Writing will occur immediately. Both the WRITE button and TEST button on ...........First a writing test will be per- formed, and then the actual writing will be performed. Depending on the media and the state of the hard disk, it is possible that an error may occur while the data is being written. (If you are using a CD-R, this will make the media unusable.) Thus, you can turn on the TEST button to check whether an error will occur before you actually write the disc. If an error occurs during the test, halt the procedure, and either lower the writing speed or set the UNDERRUN PROTECT button to ENABLE. 4 If desired, set the UNDERRUN PROTECT button to ENABLE. The CD-RW drive of the AW16G has a function to prevent "buffer underrun" errors which can occur if data transfer cannot keep up with the writing speed. If you switch the UNDERRUN PROTECT button to the "ENABLE" setting, this function will be enabled, and buffer underruns will be prevented. 10 Creating an audio CD Note If this button is set to ENABLE, the TEST button will automatically be turned off. Also, if the TEST button is turned on, this button will automatically be set to DISABLE. 99
