Creating an audio CD

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 CD-RW MEDIA ERASE

Erases the data that was written to CD-RW media. For 
details, refer to “Erasing CD-RW media” (

B

Selects the speed at which audio data will be written to 
CD-R/RW media.

C

Specifies whether a writing test will be performed 
when you execute writing.

D

Specifies whether the actual writing operation will be 
performed.

E

Enables/disables the function that prevents buffer 
underrun (an error that can occur when data transfer 
cannot keep up with writing speed).

F

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

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.

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.

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 a writing test will be performed.

........... Writing will occur immediately.

........... 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.

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.
