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.

Famous quotes containing the words master, quality and/or recording:
“I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to those who come after me—and who knows whether they will be wise or foolish? Yet they will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 2:18-19.
“Indeed, it is that ambiguity and ambivalence which often is so puzzling in women—the quality of shifting from child to woman, the seeming helplessness one moment and the utter self-reliance the next that baffle us, that seem most difficult to understand. These are the qualities that make her a mystery, the qualities that provoked Freud to complain, “What does a woman want?””
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“He shall not die, by G—, cried my uncle Toby.
MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
