List of Error Codes

ERROR messages generated by the Yamaha recorders:

The following list of error messages came directly from the MMC 3 SCSI Command Set Revision 9.0. The Yamaha Recorders are based on the MMC 3 & SPC SCSI Command Sets.

Note: Any Explanation preceded by "**" will not be from the MMC command set documents, but from Yamaha's technical support staff. These explanation will be based on the technicians experience in the field and calls received from End Users. Any recommended solutions based on this previous experience may not work for your system, but in most cases there will be more than only one possible cause/solution.

Annex A Additional Sense Codes for CD (normative)

This annex lists error codes expected to be generated by CD devices. Specific commands specify that certain errors occur in response to certain conditions, but each command does not contain a comprehensive list of possible error conditions.

A.1.Error Reporting

Any error may be reported in response to any command due to the occurrence of a deferred error. For example, a write error may occur due to a cached write command and that error shall be reported in response to the next command.

Errors listed in Table A.2 are not caused by any specific commands but by actions outside the control of the initiator.

Table A.1 lists all errors that may be generated by CD devices. Not all errors are applicable to all devices.

2 04 01 R LOGICAL UNIT IS IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY
** Very common error message, 90% of the time it’s caused by a command issued by the mastering software while the recorder is still in the process of writing data to the CD. Usually reloading the software resolves the issue or upgrading the mastering software to the latest release. This error is usually followed by a Buffer Underrun error message.

2 04 02 R LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING CMD. REQUIRED
** Very rare error message. Try different brand of recordable disc.

2 04 03 R LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED
** Very rare. Check for improperly loaded disc.

2 04 04 ++R LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
** Mastering software or some other application improperly attempted to communicate to recorder during format process. Look for background software to disable, or disable Auto Insert Notification.

2 04 07 R LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, OPERATION IN PROGRESS
** Normally caused by mastering software or driver on system attempting to communicate to our recorder is in the middle of a write operation. Look for background software to disable, or disable Auto Insert Notification.

2 04 08 R LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, LONG WRITE IN PROGRESS
** This error is caused 95% of the time by a buffer underrun. The mastering software/system failed to transfer data to the buffer fast enough or another application interfered with the process.

4 05 00 R LOGICAL UNIT DOES NOT RESPOND TO SELECTION
** Check mastering software for support features. Make sure the recorder supports the format or feature you have selected.

3 06 00 R NO REFERENCE POSITION FOUND
** Try a different brand of disc, if error repeats send drive in for repair.

5 07 00 R MULTIPLE PERIPHERAL DEVICES SELECTED
** If attempting to write to more than one recorder at time, please refer to mastering software for tips.

4 08 00 R LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION FAILURE
** Possible cable or termination conflict; refer to the Trouble Shooting Technical Manual from our web site at www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/tech/trouble.html and diagnose our drive with it.

** Process took too long and timed-out. Clean disc, tray/caddy and try again. Also check cables for good connection and termination.

4 08 02 R LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION PARITY ERROR
** Check parity settings for SCSI Card and parity jumper on back of recorder.

4 09 00 R TRACK FOLLOWING ERROR
** This is a very common error message and can be caused by the following…

Poor Disc; "try two different brands of disc to rule out"
Poor power supply; "try removing from external chassis and connect as internal", if you have an internal recorder, try a different power connector"
Damaged/Defective Recorder

4 09 01 R TRACKING SERVO FAILURE

The following list is generated by Adaptec SCSI Cards, Easy CD Pro, & Adaptec CD Creator with the Yamaha recorders.

This section is a list Adaptec Error messages, but with the Explanation/Solution slightly Modified by Yamaha Systems Technology, Inc.’s Technical support Team. Based on their experience with Adaptec Products and the Yamaha Recorders. This section is not a complete list of error messages, just those commonly seen in conjunction with the CD-Recording process.

140-xx-xx-xxHardware failure. CD recorder problem. Contact the recorder manufacturer.

Yamaha supplement: The 140 error message is seen rarely. But when it does show up, there are three possible causes.

1) If the drive is an External Unit, you may have a poor power source in the chassis or it’s power may be fluctuating. A quick test would be to remove the drive from the chassis and supply an alternate power source.( Such as connecting the drive directly to your Computer as an internal)

2) If your drive is an Internal, a bad power connection or too many devices on the same connection (One too many ‘Y’ Split power connectors). Or, rarely, a bad ribbon cable connection.

142-xx-xx-xxServo system error. Recorder's laser not powering up properly. If it occurs only rarely, it may mean that the discs and/or drive need to be cleaned, or the recorder is getting too hot. If the problem persists, have the recorder checked by its manufacturer.

Yamaha supplement: The 142 error is more likely to occur than the 140 error above. But the solutions are the same as mentioned for the 140 error. I have yet seen dust to be the cause of this error, but this can not be ruled out (Very unlikely if the drive is new).

However, if this error message only occurs after an extended time of having the drive powered on, you may not have the proper airflow for the Recorder. As a rule, you do not want any recorder sandwiched between two drives. Try to leave 1/2inch to 1 inch of space above and below driver for optimum life on the drive.

147-xx-xx-xxPower on, reset or bus device reset occurred. Recorder lost power before last command was sent.

Yamaha supplement: A bad cable connection or bad cables most commonly causes the 147 error message. In most cases, it happens with internal units and the cause is the connector on the 50pin-ribbon cable or the cable itself.

A bent pin on the back of the internal recorder may also cause it. Where the SCSI Cable connects up to the drive.

169-xx-xx-xxSession closing action failed. Recorder unable to close the session.

Yamaha supplement: This can be caused by a few other scenarios. In order to find out which is the most likely cause, you must be watching the Recorder just before the error message occurs. What the lights do (blinking sequence) can help you diagnose the problem. You need to know…

Did the error message show up before or after a pop-up message from the mastering software stating "Closing Session, this will take a few minutes", or was it just writing and the error occurred?
If you got the message that it was closing before the error message, the drive failed to close the session and the cause is either the drive or the disc.
If it just occurred, try a very small write and see if the drive is able to complete it with no problem. If it fails the disc or the drive is at fault.
If it just occurred, and attempting to write a very small amount of data passes with no errors, your source data is suspect.

171-xx-xx-xxWrite or write append error. Recorder failed to write to CD. Check your source files for empty directories,
zero-byte files, corrupted files, files in use on a network. Make sure the destination CD is free of inconsistencies, fingerprints, and dust. Check settings on the SCSI controller to make sure there are no conflicts. The problem is sometimes resolved by cooling the CD recorder. Clean the recorder and blow the dust out. Try an entirely
different brand of recordable disc. If the problem persists, have the recorder checked by its manufacturer.

Yamaha supplement: This error message is a very common one with the Adaptec Software and SCSI Card. We are not sure exactly what causes it at this time and it’s being looked into by Both Yamaha’s and Adaptec’s Technical Support Staff. There are known causes to this error message, and some of the solutions here will resolve the problem for a few of you.

Firmware version 1.0c and earlier of the Yamaha Recorder CDR400 series has a known SCSI Disconnect issue that causes the 171-xx-xx-xx error message to occur at the very end of a write operation. But if you go back after it fails closing the session, with EasyCD Pro 95 or Adaptec CD Creator, you can close the session and salvage the disc. All your data will be there and the CD will be readable on any CD-ROM drive. Upgrading your Yamaha to 1.0d or higher will resolve this issue. You can find this on Yamaha’s web site at http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/index2.html
Some customers have called with this same 171-xx-xx-xx error message using the Yamaha Recorder, Adaptec CD Creator, and an Adaptec SCSI Card. By down grading Adaptec’s miniport driver 2.0, for Adaptec SCSI Card, to version 1.3 they were able to create CD’s without the 171 error message.(Note: some end users are able to record to the Yamaha without any errors, and they are using Adaptec’s miniport driver 2.0)
If it’s a heat problem, it will be due to the fact you do not have enough airflow. Most computer chassis these days have very good fans. However, if you sandwich a Recorder between two devices and one of them is a hard drive or in some way generates heat., your are bound to have problems eventually. Yamaha Recorders must have space Above & Below to prevent overheating the optical unit. This will also give it a much longer life span. You should have 1/2inch to 1inch of space above and below the drive.
For some customers, going to a 2x speed will resolve this issue with the 171-xx-xx-xx error message. They also occasionally get a "buffer underrun" at 4x speeds, but not always. When they are not getting buffer underruns, they are getting the 171-xx-xx-xx error message at the end of the write operation.
Unfortunately, some customers resolve their issues only by going to another computer( with the same SCSI Card and Recorder). And some have not been able to resolve their issues, even with the help of both Yamaha and Adaptec, and have to close each session manually after it fails.( We are still researching the cause of this)

174-xx-xx-xxDevice track/data verify failed.

Yamaha supplement: In order to find out what device is the most likely cause, you must be watching the Recorder just before the error message occurs. What the lights do (blinking sequence) can help you diagnose the problem.

If the drive has a solid green DISC light, and the READ/WRITE light is solid AMBER (write mode) when the error occurs, the SOURCE drive you are using for the write is at fault or the cable connection.
If the drive has a solid green DISC light, and the mastering software reported it’s about to "start writing" or "close the session" and you see the READ/WRITE light blinking AMBER, the cause is may be the Recorder.

175-xx-xx-xxBuffer under run. Writing halted. Recorder's cache buffer is empty. See "Cures for Buffer Underruns."

Yamaha supplement: There is absolutely no reason for "Buffer Underruns" with the Yamaha CDR400 Recorder, but especially at 2x or 1x speeds. First thing you need to determine is just how bad is the transfer rate????

If you have the EasyCD Pro 95 software, run the SPEED TEST under the GENERAL options ( where you select write speed). This will only test your source drive and will not involve the Yamaha Recorder in any way. You want no less than 1000kb/sec transfer rate to do a 4x write. If you are getting just a little below 1000kb/sec, you have a problem and you need to go over your system and the devices connected to find out what.( See "Cures for Buffer Underruns" on the Adaptec Web site)
Try a different source drive. I’ve found CD to CD is much more reliable of a test for your system configuration. If you can do a CD to CD write at 4x, then your system configuration is more than likely good. The problem would more than likely be with the source Hard Drive you used. Of course, you need to use a CD-ROM drive that can sustain 4x writes such as any Plextor drive or any drive above 8x read capability.
If you get buffer underruns when doing 2x writes or 1x, you have a serious problem. And if you can not do a CD to CD write in the fashion mentioned in Step 2, you have a serious configuration problem. Could be bad SCSI Card, Driver conflicts, Cables, Memory, Hard Drives, Termination, or worst of all a defective mother board.

189-xx-xx-xxThe track mode is either illegal, mismatches with command, Disc or other track types.
The CD format chosen under Close Session in the General tab not compatible with other
data already on the CD.

Yamaha supplement: For the 189 error message, you must watch when it occurs. It should not happen in the middle of a write operation. If it happens during the middle of the write, you must check the type of data you are selecting for the write. This error message has been known to show up when using the EasyCD Pro software to create Enhanced CD’s.

194-xx-xx-xxUnknown Adaptor Error. (New error message)

Yamaha supplement: Yamaha has not been able to determine the cause of this error. It only seems to occur with the EasyCD Pro 95 or Adaptec CD Creator software. And it happens at the very end of the write operation. We do not know at this time why the Mastering software is unable to communicate to the SCSI Card towards the end of the write operation.

204-xx-xx-xxBad or corrupted medium Recordable CD is corrupt or defective.
This message can also arise due to a problem with the recorder itself. Try these steps:

1.Try a different brand of recordable disc. If the problem persists, then:
2.Have the settings on the SCSI controller double-checked; contact
the controller manufacturer for this from Adaptec, click here). If that doesn't help, then:
3.If the problem persists, have the recorder checked by its manufacturer.

Yamaha supplement: None

220-xx-xx-xxSCSl error Generic. SCSI controller timeout before device finished. An inconsistency or
a slight conflict somewhere on the SCSI bus that doesn't surface till the recorder is activated.
If it happens at the end of a write, most likely the controller is timing out before the recorder is
finished. Contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter for tech support.

Yamaha supplement: The 220-xx-xx-xx error messages are very generic, in the very broad sense. However, I’ve never found it to be caused by any CD Recorder, to date. The following is a list of the most likely causes. Each have been diagnosed more than once in the past from customers calling with this error message or a form of it. Listed in order of most frequently occurring…

Bad disc or disc with one session currently recorded in a format not compatible with the format you have selected for the new session. If this is the case, you will be able to pass a test write, but as soon as it begins the actual write you get the 220-xx-xx-xx error message. The error occurs before you are able to begin the actual burn. You will see the DISC light go from a solid GREEN to a blinking amber. The READ/WRITE light on the drive will also be blinking AMBER. Then the drive will eject the disc and report the 220-xx-xx-xx error message.
Old miniport drivers from Adaptec, or a new release of their miniport drivers that has an unknown bug at the time.
Your source drive has disconnected from the SCSI bus or been disconnected by the SCSI Card. Your system will hang, and you have to reboot. If you are able to get back to the Window and close the mastering software application, you will find some devices if not all missing from your device manager. They will not come back until you reboot the system.
Bad cables can cause this 220-xx-xx-xx error message. Your system will hang, and you have to reboot. If you are able to get back to the Window and close the mastering software application, you will find some devices if not all missing from your device manager. They will not come back until you reboot the system.
Bad SCSI Card. It will work as far as loading properly under Windows 95 or NT. All other devices will perform normally when connected to the SCSI Card. Only when you do write operations will you get this error messages. However, in most cases the user has had some unexplainable problems in the past, or occasional problems with devices being seen on the initial boot up, that will indicate a possible bad SCSI Card.
Bad Mother board. Only way to test this is to go to another computer with the same SCSI Card and Recorder.

240-xx-xx-xxOptimum power calibration failure. Recorder unable to calibrate laser power for the disc.
May be due to the disc itself; try another brand. If the problem persists, have the recorder
checked by its manufacturer.

Yamaha supplement: None

data already on the CD. This error sometimes occurs if a previous session on the CD was written on a different recorder.

212 Total Disc track number will exceed 99. Attempting to write too many tracks to the CD.

220 SCSl error Generic. SCSI controller timeout before device finished. An inconsistency or a slight conflict somewhere
on the SCSI bus that doesn't surface till the recorder is activated. If it happens at the end of a write, most likely the controller
is timing out before the recorder is finished. Contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter for tech support.

220-1 SCSI Target timeout Device not responding before the time-out limit. The software cannot communicate with a SCSI device,
possibly because your SCSI bus was reset. This is sometimes caused by conflicts between real-mode and protected-mode SCSI
drivers on a Windows 95 system. Try REMming out any SCSI drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file; the drivers provided with
Windows 95 should be sufficient on their own.

220-2 SCSI Check target return sense Recorder indicates that source file(s) have changed from original configuration.
This usually occurs with the files being written from hard disk. If it occurs during a disc-to-disc copy, check your source
CD-ROM drive. It should preferably be SCSI 2, and able to reliably transfer data without corrupting it. If you are copying
audio, it needs to be capable of digital audio extraction. Also make sure the source CD you are trying to copy is not somehow
copy protected. There are some CDs our software cannot copy.

220-3 SCSI Specified Target/LUN is busy. The specified device is busy. Wait for it to become ready.

220-4 SCSI Target reservation conflict. Device is waiting for another program to release it. Reset the hardware.

220-5 SCSI Request completed with error. Write finished with error. This error means that a target sense code was
not sent back by the source device. Contact the manufacturer of your SCSI cards for configuration advice.

220-6 SCSI Selection timeout. This is a SCSI selection timeout error, indicating a SCSI setup problem. Please contact the
maker of your SCSI host adapter.

220-7 SCSI Data over-run/under-run

220-8 SCSI Unexpected Bus Free. Hardware. Check for improper termination.

220-9 SCSI Target bus phase sequence failure. Controller set-up problem. Contact the manufacturer of your SCSI host adapter.

220-10 (aka 220-0a) SCSI request aborted by host. The controller has aborted the procedure. Make sure auto-insert notification
is disabled for all CD devices on the SCSI bus!

Disable SCSI disconnect settings for both the card and the recorder. If it was already disabled, try enabling it.

In Windows 95, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and close any other open applications (except Explorer!) in the Close Program dialog box.

Check your hardware configuration for the controller. Make sure there are no conflicts.

220-11(aka220-0a) SCSI Invalid Host Adapter number "SCSI initialization failed. In order to run this program

You must have WNASPI32.DLL installed and started" Controller unknown, not supported, or set up incorrectly.

In Windows 95/98:

Check DEVICE MANAGER in 95 and confirm that your SCSI
CONTROLLER doesn't have a red X or yellow exclamation point.
Search the system for all instances of WNASPI32.DLL and delete all except the one in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory.

In Windows NT:

Check SCSI DEVICES and confirm that your SCSI CONTROLLER
doesn't have a red X or yellow exclamation point. If the
WNASPI32.DLL file is in the system32 directory, then go to Control
Panel, either Devices or Services, find the ASPI line, and make sure it
says either BOOT or Automatic in the Start column.

Search the system for all instances of WNASPI32.DLL and delete all
except the one in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory.

Then (if you do see a red X or yellow exclamation point):

Note: These warning signals can also indicate a hardware problem.

If you are using an Adaptec controller, download WNASPI32.DLL
from the Adaptec FTP site, and install it.

If your SCSI card is not from Adaptec, check with its vendor for an
up-to-date ASPI layer, or re-install the original Windows 95 or NT
ASPI layer. Make sure the controller you are using is FULLY ASPI
compliant.

220-12 SCSI request block has one, or more, parameters set incorrectly. Indicates an incorrect setting on the
SCSI card. Double-check the IRQ and Port address to make sure they aren't trying to share with something
else in the system. Make sure there are no yellow exclamation points in Device Manager (My Computer: Properties),
and no blue marks if you double-click on the computer icon at the top of Device Manager.

2	04	08	R	LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, LONG WRITE IN PROGRESS ** This error is caused 95% of the time by a buffer underrun. The mastering software/system failed to transfer data to the buffer fast enough or another application interfered with the process.
4	05	00	R	LOGICAL UNIT DOES NOT RESPOND TO SELECTION ** Check mastering software for support features. Make sure the recorder supports the format or feature you have selected.
3	06	00	R	NO REFERENCE POSITION FOUND ** Try a different brand of disc, if error repeats send drive in for repair.
5	07	00	R	MULTIPLE PERIPHERAL DEVICES SELECTED ** If attempting to write to more than one recorder at time, please refer to mastering software for tips.
4	08	00	R	LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION FAILURE ** Possible cable or termination conflict; refer to the Trouble Shooting Technical Manual from our web site at www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/computer/tech/trouble.html and diagnose our drive with it.
4	08	01	R	LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION TIME-OUT ** Process took too long and timed-out. Clean disc, tray/caddy and try again. Also check cables for good connection and termination.
4	08	02	R	LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION PARITY ERROR ** Check parity settings for SCSI Card and parity jumper on back of recorder.
4	09	00	R	TRACK FOLLOWING ERROR ** This is a very common error message and can be caused by the following… Poor Disc; "try two different brands of disc to rule out" Poor power supply; "try removing from external chassis and connect as internal", if you have an internal recorder, try a different power connector" Damaged/Defective Recorder
4	09	01	R	TRACKING SERVO FAILURE ** Common Error message, caused by… Poor Disc; "try two different brands of disc to rule out" Poor power supply; "try removing from external chassis and connect as internal", if you have an internal recorder, try a different power connector" Damaged/Defective Recorder
4	09	02	R	FOCUS SERVO FAILURE ** This is either poor disc or a damaged optical head on the recorder. Try two different brands of disc, and if both fail the drive is at fault.
4	09	03	R	SPINDLE SERVO FAILURE ** Caused by poor disc; poorly inserted disc; or defective recorder.
4	09	04	R	HEAD SELECT FAULT ** Reinsert disc and if it happens again send the recorder in for service.
6	0A	00	R	ERROR LOG OVERFLOW
1	0B	00	R	WARNING ** Check previous error message for actual cause of problem.
1	0B	01	R	WARNING - SPECIFIED TEMPERATURE EXCEEDED ** Temperature must not exceed 40 degrees Celsius as measured from the bottom center of the recorder. Check for enough space for air flow between drives.
1	0B	02	R	WARNING - ENCLOSURE DEGRADED
3	0C	00	R	WRITE ERROR ** Usually preceded by an error message that is the actual cause of your problem
3	0C	07	R	WRITE ERROR - RECOVERY NEEDED
3	0C	08	R	WRITE ERROR - RECOVERY FAILED
3	0C	09	R	WRITE ERROR - LOSS OF STREAMING
3	0C	0A	R	WRITE ERROR - PADDING BLOCKS ADDED ** This error occurs when the buffer becomes empty during a write operation, and the Yamaha recorder attempts to prevent the buffer underrun when it finds the buffer empty by padding the CD with ZERO’s in the hopes the buffer is in the process of being filled and will be able to continue writing actual data soon

03hex	-	Medium Error:. Indicates that the command terminated with a non- recovered error condition that was probably caused by dust on the disc or an error in the recorded data.
04hex	-	Hardware Error: Indicates that a hardware failure (e.g., controller or device failure, parity error, etc.) was detected by the CDR100/CDR102 while executing a command or during a self-test.
09hex	-	Drive Busy: Indicates that the drive is now working for write operation. The drive cannot accept the command now and the host should re-publish the command again.
0Bhex	-	Aborted Command: Indicates that the CDR100/CDR102 aborted the command.
0Dhex	-	Volume Overflow: Indicates that the CDR100/CDR102 has reached the end of volume during writing or reading.
