CDR400At Features  
4xS Recording - 6xS Reading  
The CDR400At is a CD-ROM recorder capable of recording at quad  
speed (4xS), double speed (2xS), or normal speed (1xS).  
It can read discs at up to 6xS.  
Compatible with Seven Different Formats  
The CDR400At 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 CDR400At is also equipped with an  
analog audio output terminal (headphones) for CD-DA.  
SCSI 2 Interface for Data Transfer  
The CDR400At features SCSI 2, the second generation SCSI interface  
for connecting computers and peripheral devices.  
Compatible with Windows 95 Plug and Play  
SCSI IDs are set automatically by the SCAM protocol (level 1).  
Orange Book Part 2 Compatible 5-Mode Recording  
The CDR400At conforms to the five recording modes outlined in the  
Orange Book Part 2: Track at Once, Multisession, Disc at Once, Ses-  
sion 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-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.  
Packet Writing  
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 CDR400At supports sequential packet writing.

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 CDR400At. Refer to the dia-  
gram below for more information on setting the SCSI ID number. The  
factory set ID number is “3”.

Manual Eject (emergency use)  
Here we explain how to eject the disc when it cannot be ejected in the  
normal way; for example, the power is shut off inadvertently or the  
loading mechanism fails. This technique should be used only as a last  
resort. Frequent use may lead to malfunction.  
You’ll need a pin-like object of 2 mm or less in diameter to do this. A  
straightened paper clip makes an ideal tool.  
1. Insert the pin-like tool into the manual eject hole and push  
gently.  
The spring-loaded mechanism ejects the disc.  
2. After manually ejecting a disc, you must turn off the power  
supplied to the CDR400At, then turn it on before continuing.
