DVD-RAM Media
Unlike standard DVD media, you do not need special DVD burning
software to write or read DVD-RAM discs on a computer. You can
access these discs like a floppy disk or hard drive. You can even write a
DVD-RAM disc with a set-top box, then read it on the PX-610U drive.
The PX-610U supports reading and writing with 4.7-GB (version 2)
DVD-RAM discs.
CD-ROM Media
You can use these types of CD media:
•
CD-ROM
: You can immediately play or read prerecorded compact
discs, such as audio CDs and data discs.
•
CD-R
: Recordable CD. You can record on these discs, but only
once. You can also read them.
•
CD-RW
: Normal Speed, High Speed, Ultra Speed and Ultra Speed
Plus
ReWritable CD. These discs support recording and re-recording
(up to 1,000 times). You can also read them.
To achieve a certain writing speed, you must use the appropriate media.
To achieve 24X CD-R writing speed you must use certified 24X (or
higher) media.
Remember:
•
Using Normal Speed CD-RW discs (that is, NS-RW media) you can
rewrite at 4X.
•
Using High Speed CD-RW discs (HS-RW media), you can rewrite
at 10X.
•
Using Ultra Speed CD-RW discs (US-RW media) in this drive, you
can rewrite at up to 24X.
You can write to Ultra Speed CD-RW discs only on drives that support
this media. Drives that are capable of writing to Ultra Speed ReWritable
media, such as the Plextor PX-610U, are identified by a “Compact Disc
ReWritable Ultra Speed” logo.
