Features Of The Px-716Al - Plextor PX-716AL Installation And User Manual

Features of the PX-716AL

• ATAPI interface: The PX-716AL easily installs in virtually any PC
with an E-IDE ATAPI interface.
• Slot loading system: Provides fast, secure loading for DVD and CD
media.
• High speed transfers: The PX-716AL supports data transfers via
Ultra DMA66, DMA Mode 2, and PIO Mode 4.
• Intelligent recording: Achieves recording at high quality and
optimum speed using any media, thanks to unique Plextor
technology:
AUTOSTRATEGY®: Writing technology for unknown media.
When a writable or rewritable disc isn't listed in the drive's
internal media catalog, AUTOSTRATEGY automatically
checks the disc and develops a write strategy for it.
Intelligent Tilt: Precise laser control and three-dimensional tilt
adjustment for uneven disc surfaces. Ensures optimal recording
and reading, especially with double layer media.
PoweRec for CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R DL,
and DVD-R DL media: Plextor Optimized Writing Error
Reduction Control (PoweRec) adjusts laser power and writing
speed so they're at the optimum settings for that particular disc.
(For example, when you're writing an 8X-rated DVD, PoweRec
checks to see if a higher speed is possible, and sets the optimum
write speed—up to a maximum of 16X.)
• VariRec: Lets you change the write strategy to record at highest
quality on different types of discs. Also provides user adjustment of
the recording power above or below a default level. This adjustment
lets you customize the optimum laser power to your own needs.
• Silent Mode: Unique technology that sets the drive for super-silent
operation. By controlling disc loading speed and read/write speed,
you reduce drive noise to a whisper.
• MMC compliance: Supports the MMC-4 command set.
