NOTE
: The built-in USB ports on older computers (and even on
inexpensive new ones) provide only USB 1.1—that is, Full-Speed (12
Mbps) USB. This limits the CD-RW drive performance to 4X write, 4X
rewrite, and 6X read, while DVD performance with USB 1.1 is 0.7X. For
optimum performance if your PC or Macintosh does not have built-in
USB 2.0, use the FireWire port, if available. Or, for PCs (and Macs with
expansion capability), you can purchase and install a third-party PCI
USB 2.0 or FireWire plug-in host adapter card.
What You Can Do with the PX-716UF
Just look at some of the things you can do with your PX-716UF:
•
Record slide shows or digital video onto DVD+R DL, DVD+R,
DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs.

Record data or audio onto writable or rewritable CD media.
•
Play music CDs.
•
Save photos and other images on rewritable or writable CDs.
•
Create a CD or DVD “sneakernet” to share information with

then continue adding files and sharing the same disc.
•
Archive images and video to DVD or CD.
•
Master new software programs on DVD or CD.
