Playing a CD Using PlextorManager
For PC users, unique and powerful audio software - PlextorManager 2000 - is
provided. For installation and operating instructions, refer to the separate
PlextorManager 2000 User's Manual
and README files.
Playing a CD Using Other Utilities
Other alternatives for playing CDs include audio utilities designed into your
operating system (Media Player or CD Player in Windows, for instance) or various
other utilities that can be purchased commercially.
To listen to music through the computer’s soundboard, volume can be controlled
through the volume control on your task bar (via a soundboard). You can also mute
the sound on your soundboard and listen to music through headphones or self-
powered speakers. When using headphones or self-powered speakers, volume is
controlled by the volume knob on the front panel of the drive.
Playing a CD On a Macintosh
Mac users can run a program such as CDT Remote (which is typically included with
FWB’s CD-ROM device driver).
Writing to CD-R and CD-RW Media
In conjunction with your PlexWriter drive, mastering and packet writing software
such as EasyCD Creator and DirectCD allow you to write audio, video, data, or other
information to writable (CD-R) or rewritable (CD-RW) media.
IMPORTANT:
Only newer CD-ROM drives can read CD-RW discs. Drives
manufactured before 1997 cannot read them. Plextor CD-ROM drives starting with
the 12/20PleX or newer can read CD-RW discs.
