CD-ROM Media
In addition, the PX-504UF supports these types of CD media:
•
CD-ROM : You can immediately play or read pre-recorded compact
discs, such as audio CDs and data discs.
•
CD-R : Recordable CD. You can record on these discs, but only
once. You can also read them.
•
CD-RW : High-Speed, and Normal-Speed ReWritable CD. These
discs support recording and re-recording (up to 1,000 times). You
can also read them.
Plextor-Recommended Media
Plextor engineers test DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R and CD-RW media
from many different manufacturers and manufacturing facilities,
determining the optimum write strategy for that particular media type.
The results are assembled into a media catalog and stored in firmware in
the Plextor PX-504UF drive.
Although you can use virtually any media in your drive, for the best
possible results be sure to use Plextor-recommended media. Using
Plextor-recommended media means you can successfully burn these
discs at high speed, and ensures the discs can later be read back on other
drives. In most cases you’ll get successful writing and reading even if
the original blank disc itself might contain some imperfections.
See “Recommended Media” on page 33 for a list of Plextor-
recommended media at the time this manual was printed, and see the
Plextor web site at www.plextor.com for an updated list.
