PX-716UF Installation and Users Manual
Writing to DVD Media
You need special software that supports writing to DVD+R, DVD+R
DL, and DVD+RW discs; or to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. Roxio
Easy Media Creator 7 (on the CD that accompanies your PX-716UF)
contains this software.
SpecR/RW or -R/RW
You don’t need to specify whether to write to +R DL, +R/RW or -
R/RW. The selection is automatically made for you, based on the media
you insert in the drive.
Writing to CD-R and CD-RW Media
In conjunction with your drive, mastering and packet writing software
such as Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 allows you to write audio, video,
data, or other information to writable (CD-R) or rewritable (CD-RW)
media. The PX-716UF writes to all types of CD-RW media.
Using the Disc/Busy Indicator
The color and blink rate of the front-panel disc/busy indicator give you
information about the drive’s operation.
When you are writing to a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the color and blink
rate of the front-panel disc/busy indicator indicate the speed of writing,
as follows:
