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.
