This section explains how to use your Plextor drive and how to load,
handle and care for your DVDs and CDs.
What Media to Use
Use the right media! Your Plextor drive's capabilities change depending
on which type of compact disc you use.
DVD Media
DVD recordable media is available in two different, non-compatible
formats:
•
DVD+R, DVD+R DL (double layer) and DVD+RW
•
