PX-B310U/ PX-B310SA 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 DL, DVD-R and
DVD-RW discs. Roxio Creator (on the DVD that accompanies your
Plextor drive) 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-
B310U and PX-B310SA writes to all types of CD-RW media.
Using the Disc/Busy Indicator
The color of the front-panel disc/busy indicator gives you information
about the drive’s operation.
