AW1600 Owner’s Manual
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 CD-RW MEDIA ERASE
Erases the data that was written to CD-RW media. For
details, refer to “Erasing CD-RW media” ( p. 109).
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.
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 fol-
lows.
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 performed,
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 AW1600 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.

If this button is set to ENABLE, the TEST button will automati-
cally be turned off. Also, if the TEST button is turned on, this
button will automatically be set to DISABLE.
