PlexWriter 48/24/48U Installation and Users Manual
Using SpeedRead
The default reading speed for your PlexWriter is 40X. However, for some types of
discs, SpeedRead boosts this reading speed to 48X. SpeedRead gives you control of
the maximum read speed while maintaining data integrity and safe operation.
SpeedRead may be supported by the recording software you’re using. You can also
activate it manually with the eject button.
What SpeedRead Does
SpeedRead changes the default read speed from 40X to 48X (via hardware or
software) for the following types of discs:
??
Pressed data CD
??
CD-R data CD
Other disc types (for example, CD-DA, mixed mode, and CD-RW) are read at 40X
even with SpeedRead enabled.
CAUTION : Reading a poorly balanced or cracked data disc at 48X speed greatly
increases the likelihood of disc failure and damage to your drive, and people or items
located in front of the drive door. The Plextor warranty does not cover drive damage
resulting from shattered discs. Please examine your discs before use and verify there
are no visible cracks in the hub area. If the disc makes an abnormal or loud noise
during spinup, it may be an indication of a poorly balanced or eccentric disc. In this
case eject the disc immediately.
The PlexWriter’s reinforced tray bezel and drive bezel can resist the escape of the
disc or disc fragments in the event of disc failure at this high 48X speed.
Manually Enabling SpeedRead
You can manually enable SpeedRead before inserting a disc into the PlexWriter. To
manually enable SpeedRead:
1. Press and hold the eject button for three seconds or longer. The LED indicator
blinks green three times and the tray opens.
2. Insert the disc and close the tray using the eject button.
SpeedRead is now enabled. If the disc is a pressed data CD or a CD-R data CD, the
PlexWriter will read it at 48X speed.
Disabling SpeedRead
You can manually disable SpeedRead in either of two ways:
??
Eject the disc.
-or-
??
Turn off power to the drive.
