■ 2xS Recording (Rewritable) - 4xS Recording (Recordable) -
16xS Reading
The CRW4216E is able to write (overwrite) CD-RW discs at double
speed, and is able to write CD-R discs at quad speed, double speed, or
normal speed.
For both types of media, this drive is able to read at up to 16X speed.
■ Compatible with Seven Different Formats
The CRW4216E can both record and read seven different formats: CD-
ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, CD-DA, CD-Bridge (multisession), CD-
Extra, and Video CD.
The CRW4216E is also equipped with an analog audio output terminal
(headphones) for CD-DA.
■ ATAPI for High-Volume, High-Speed DataTransfer
The CRW4216E features ATAPI/IDE interface for connecting comput-
ers and peripheral devices.
ATAPI provides high-speed transmission of large quantities of data,
which is especially important when working with image data.
■ Orange Book Part 2, Part 3 Compatible 5-Mode Recording
The CRW4216E conforms to the five recording modes outlined in the
Orange Book Part 2 and 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 a 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 CRW4216E supports both sequential and random packet writing.

MASTER/SLAVE settings
Before you install the CRW4216E in your computer, you must make
the MASTER/SLAVE setting.
This setting is set by inserting a jumper pin in the jumper switch
located on the rear panel of the CRW4216E drive.
Important: When the unit is shipped from the factory, this setting is in the MASTER
position.
Note: Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert the jumper pin.
Rear Panel
Enhanced IDE compatible computers normally have two IDE interface
connectors; a primary one and a secondary one.
Each IDE interface connector of the host computer allows up to two
IDE devices to be connected. This means that a total of up to four IDE
devices can be connected.
Normally, a hard disk is connected to the primary connector, and a CD-
ROM drive is connected to the secondary connector.
Important: Avoid connecting the CRW4216E or a CD-ROM drive to the same pri-
mary connector as the hard disk drive.
In order to take full advantage of the system's performance, we recom-
mend that you connect the CRW4216E to the secondary connector by
itself as the MASTER.
