Cd-Rom Media - Plextor PX-755UF Installation And User Manual

CD-ROM Media

In addition, 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, and Ultra Speed 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 48X CD-R writing speed you must use certified 48X media;
and to achieve 24X CD-RW writing speed you must use Ultra Speed
CD-RW 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-755UF, are identified by a "Compact
Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed" logo.
