Yamaha's Audio Master Quality Recording is intended for maximum compatibility audio CDs, but is only available on some models, notably the CRW3200 series and the F1 series.
It uses a Disc At Once method with a fixed linear recording speed of 1.4 m/s, burning longer, sharper pits and lands. Since the pits and lands are longer, the quantity of information that can fit on a disc is less than with a normal method: 63 minutes instead of 74 minutes on a 650meg CD, and 68 minutes instead of 80 minutes on a 700meg CD.
The main advantage of this recording mode is an easier to read audio CD.

—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
