About the Firmware

The “firmware” is a small piece of software built into the CRW8424SX drive, and

is used to control its basic operation. Since it resides in flash memory, it can be

overwritten and updated.

To ensure the correct operation of the CRW8424SX drive, updates to the

firmware will be made available. You can find information about the most recent

firmware for the drive on YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site.
