6xS Reading
The CRW2260t is able to write (overwrite) CD-RW discs at double speed,
and is able to write CD-R discs double speed or normal speed.
For both types of media, this drive is able to read at 6X speed, quad speed,
double speed, or normal speed, and any of these modes can be selected
as desired.
■ Compatible with Seven Different Formats
The CRW2260t can both record and read seven different formats:
CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, CD-DA, CD-Bridge (multisession), CD-
Extra, andVideo CD. The CRW2260t is also equipped with an analog
audio output terminal (headphones) for CD-DA.
■ SCSI 2 for High-Volume, High-Speed DataTransfer
The CRW2260t features SCSI 2, the second generation SCSI interface
for connecting computers and peripheral devices.
■ Compatible withWindows 95 Plug and Play
SCSI IDs are set automatically by the SCAM protocol (level 1).
■ Orange Book Part 2, Part 3 Compatible 5-Mode Recording
The CRW2260t conforms to the five recording modes outlined in the
Orange Book Part 2 and Part 3: Track at Once, Multisession, Disc at
Once, Session at Once, and Packet Writing.

Introduction

Orange Book Compatible Recording
Track at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. Discs
recorded in this mode cannot be played in CD players or CD-ROM drives
other than a CD-RW or CD-R drive until the session is closed.
Multisession
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc in stages (one session at a time).
Additional data can be written later.
Disc at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to an entire disc in one pass.
It is not possible to write additional data later.
Session at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one session at a time. To use
this mode, your software must support Session at Once recording.
New sessions can be written later.
PacketWriting
This is useful for data back-up. Smaller units of data can be added to
tracks. To use this mode, your software must support Packet Writing.
The CRW2260t supports both sequential and random packet writing.

• A vacant slot in which to install a SCSI card or a pre-installed
SCSI card
• A vacant half-height bay
• Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT4.0 or Higher
• Sufficient hard disk space
Note: You will need about twice as much space on your hard disk as that
required by the data you wish to write to CD-ROM.

CRW2260t drive settings
Before installing the CRW2260t in your computer, you will need to set
the following jumpers.
You set these jumpers by inserting jumper connectors into the jumper
switch located on the rear panel of the CD-RW drive.
♦ SCSI ID settings
♦ Parity setting
♦ Terminator setting
♦ Block size setting
Important: Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert jumper connectors.
In the diagrams in this manual, solid black fill is used to indicate
locations where a jumper is used to short between pins.
Rear Panel
♦ SCSI ID settings
The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a
connected SCSI device.You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID
number. Usually, “7” is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and “0”
is reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain.
Use a number between 1 and 6 for the CRW2260t. Refer to the diagram
below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The factory
set ID number is “3”.
Important: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID number
for each device.

Note: When you are using Windows 95, and if the SCSI ID setting on the rear
panel is the same as the number assigned to another SCSI device, the
Plug and Play component of Windows 95 will automatically assign an
unused number to the CRW2260t (SCAM protocol level 1).
♦ Parity setting
Parity ON (with a jumper)
— Parity Check will be performed. Normally, use this setting.
Parity OFF (without a jumper)
— Parity Check will not be performed.

♦ Terminator setting
The terminator setting indicates whether or not this device is the last
connected SCSI device.
Terminator ON (with a jumper)
— Use this setting if the CRW2260t is the last device in the internal
SCSI daisy-chain.
Terminator OFF (without a jumper)
— Use this setting if devices other than the CRW2260t are in the inter-
nal SCSI daisy-chain and the CRW2260t is not the last device.
♦ Block size setting
Block size ON (with a jumper)
— Block Size is set to 512Byte/sector. This function is valid only for
workstations, such as those that run UNIX.
Block size OFF (without a jumper)
— Normally, use this setting.

SCSI internal circuit to the position for internal connected
devices. For details refer to the manual of your SCSI card.
6. Slide the CRW2260t drive into the drive bay from the front.
At this time, be careful not to apply excessive force to the drive itself.
Finger-tighten the four fastening screws, and check that there is enough
room to connect the power supply cable, SCSI cable, andAUDIO cables.
7. Connect the SCSI flat cable.
Connect the 50-pin SCSI flat cable to the SCSI card and to the SCSI
interface located on the rear panel of the CRW2260t drive.
Position the connector so that the colored line is at pin 1 (your lower right).
