PX-850 Installation and Users Manual
If you later insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted
to either accept changing the new region code or not. If you don’t accept
the change, then that DVD will not play. If you do accept the change,
then the region code setting is changed. But remember: you can change
the drive’s region code only 5 times. After that, you can’t change it any
more.
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 DL, DVD-R and
DVD-RW discs. Roxio Creator’s (on the DVD that accompanies your
PX-850) contains this software.
You don’t need special software to write to DVD-RAM media.
SpecR/RW or -R/RW
You don’t need to specify whether to write to +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 Creator allows you to write audio, video, data, or other
information to writable (CD-R) or rewritable (CD-RW) media. The PX-
850 writes to all types of CD-RW media.
