Possible Cause #3
•
Using CD-RW media. This drive does not support 24X or 16X speed with CD-
RW media. It supports up to 10X CD-RW recording.
Solution #3
•
Use CD-R media for 24X recording. Check www.plextor.com for recommended
24X media.
Possible Cause #4
•
Defective CD-R media.
Solution #4
•
CD-R media may be dirty, scratched or damaged. Rewrite using another CD-R
disc. (If possible, use a disc from a different manufacturer; sometimes all discs in
a box of media may be defective.)
Possible Cause #5
•
Using authoring software other than that bundled with the PlexWriter.
Solution #5
•
To use other types of authoring software, contact the supplier and ensure the
software supports the PX-W2410TA CD-RW drive. Supported software lists can
also be found on the Plextor web site at www.plextor.com.
Possible Cause #6
•
CD-ROM drive used cannot read data fast enough to record at higher speeds,
such as 24X and 16X.
Solution #6
•
If necessary, enable BURN-Proof in the recording software. (Some software
packages, such as Adaptec’s Easy CD Creator 4.02, have BURN-Proof support
for the PlexWriter drive permanently on, while other software allows the user to
select whether it is on or off.)
•
If your software does not support BURN-Proof, copy the data to the computer’s
hard disk, then record from the hard disk to the PlexWriter.
