PX-504A Installation and Users Manual
Writing to DVD Media
You need special software that supports writing to DVD+R and DVD+RW discs.
The Roxio Easy CD Creator DVD Edition and DirectCD software on the CD that
accompanies your PX-504A contains this software.
NOTE: The PX-504A does not write to DVD-R or DVD-RW media. However, the drive
can read these discs.
Writing to CD-R and CD-RW Media
In conjunction with your drive, mastering and packet writing software such as Easy
CD Creator and DirectCD allow you to write audio, video, data, or other information
to writable (CD-R) or rewritable (CD-RW) media. The PX-504A writes to high-
speed CD-RW media, as well as to normal speed CD-RW media.
Drives such as the PX-504A that are capable of writing to high-speed
CD-RW media are identified by a “Compact Disc ReWritable High
Speed” logo.
Advantages of Buffer Underrun Proof Technology
The PX-504A incorporates Buffer Underrun Proof technology, which guarantees that
you can write CD-R and CD-RW discs at high speed, and still use your computer for
other tasks while you’re writing.
To prevent the interruption of data during writing, every CD-R/RW drive has a
buffer, a memory chip that acts as a kind of “holding area.” (Typically, the buffer
size is 2 MB or 4 MB.) However, this buffer can be emptied quickly when you write
at high speeds, or if you use other applications (like surfing the Internet or playing
games or watching movies) while writing.
Buffer Underrun Proof technology compensates for any interruption in data flow to
the disc. It “remembers” where writing stopped on the disc when the data flow was
interrupted, then restarts writing in the same place once the data is available again.
Buffer Underrun Proof technology in your drive means you can safely use your
computer for other things while you’re writing to a CD-R or CD-RW disc. It lets you
multitask freely and easily, and lets you successfully create CDs on the first attempt.
