PX-R820T OPERATION MANUAL

Drive Positioning

YOUR TASK:

Determine where you want to install your drive.

YOUR OBJECTIVE:

Position the drive in the proper manner so that it
operates correctly.

YOUR METHOD:

If you have an internal drive, find an open bay in
your computer. If you have an external drive, find an
open space on your desktop.

The PlexWriter 8/20 should only be installed horizontally. When the drive is
in a vertical position, the disc may not always be flat against the tray drawer.
The write head may lose contact with the disc surface and cause write errors
during recording. Therefore, we do not recommend installing this drive
vertically.
