The CRWF1 series contain several new technologies. We have already discussed most of them in our CRW-F1E review but we will sum it up one more time.
The CRW-F1 is the first drive to offer a Laser Labelling System with the name DiscT@2. The full CAV technology and precise control of the key elements of recording, (specifically: tracking, rotation, and laser intensity and positioning) allows text and graphic data to be tattooed to the media's data surface after the writing stage is complete.
Under this mode, the system widens the lands and pits during recording. This significantly reduces jitter and improves audio and music recording quality. The new Advanced Audio Master Quality mode now supports 1x and 8x writing speeds as well as the original 4x speed mode. You can select proper writing speed for the media in use, or use the Best mode allowing the CRW-F1 to determine the best writing speed.
The F1 series maintains a constant rotation speed from the beginning of the recording process, on the inner tracks of the disc, all the way to the tracks at the outer edge. The spindle motor of the CD-R unit maintains a constant disc rotation speed of 8700 rpm throughout the entire writing process, while the actual writing speed smoothly increases from 19x to 44x.
Ultra Speed sets the new standard for CD-RW Rewriting at 24x and gives you two high-speed rewriting options depending on the type of rewriting that you need to do. Full CAV mode offers 24x rewriting for random access packet data rewriting, while High-Quality Partial CAV mode does the same for conventional data rewriting.
CD-MRW offers packet-writing capabilities that have not been available until now. Specifically, it has made writing and re-writing files on a CD-RW as easy as to and from a floppy disc while reducing disc-formatting time from 10 minutes down to about 2 and vastly improving management capabilities for damaged disc sectors.
CD-RW Audio Track Edit makes editing a finished CD-RW as easy as editing an MD. Erase the final track or add new songs directly to the CD, without first having to save WAVE files to your hard drive and erasing the entire CD-RW disc, and then play it on your CD player.
Yamaha's original technology - SafeBurn features an 8MB memory buffer, Buffer Underrun Protection, and Optimum Write Speed Control. These three resources combine to provide the best possible writing environment and further optimize reliability.
