About this Manual
Please read this manual carefully and keep it handy for easy reference. Use the
manual for installation, operation and troubleshooting. See your dealer or call
Plextor’s Technical Support Department should your drive require service.
In this manual you should find all the information you need to successfully install,
operate and troubleshoot your drive. If you run into a problem that doesn't seem to be
covered, however, please contact us. (See “Appendix B: Technical Support” for the
different ways you can contact us.) You will be connected to our friendly, helpful
band of tech support engineers who know their stuff. What might seem like an
uncooperative drive to you could very well be a 30-second fix to them. But we will
never know unless you contact us.
Meet Your PlexWriter 40/12/40A
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A is a CD-ReWritable drive that provides professional
quality CD performance for writing, rewriting and reading.
What the PlexWriter 40/12/40A Does
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A:
•
Writes to CD-R (recordable CD) media at up to 40X speed.
•
Writes CD-DA (digital audio) discs at a maximum of 24X for highest quality.
•
Writes to high-speed CD-RW (rewritable CD) media at up to 12X speed.
(Naturally, the drive can also write to conventional CD-RW media at 4X speeds.)
•
Reads all CD-ROM and CD-R media at a maximum of 40X speed with an
average access time of less than 120 milliseconds. (Maximum read speed of CD-
RW media is 32X.)
Reliable writing is virtually guaranteed, thanks to unique PoweRec-II circuitry that
automatically detects the type of media being recorded and adjusts the PlexWriter
40/12/40A to provide the optimum laser power and length of burn—which means the
highest quality playback. In addition, it has VariRec technology, a feature offered by
Plextor that allows you to manually adjust the drive's laser power during the audio
recording process. The PlexWriter 40/12/40A has an EIDE interface that supports
the ATAPI-5 command set, including special commands for CD-R and CD-RW.
