Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing the Plextor PX-504A a reliable, high-
performance recordable DVD and CD writer, rewriter, and player. We appreciate the
confidence you have shown in us. Our goal is to put you—and keep you—on the
leading edge of DVD and CD technology.

About this Manual

Please read this manual carefully and keep it handy for easy reference. Use the
manual for installation, operation and troubleshooting. If your drive needs service,
see your dealer or call Plextor's Technical Support Department.
In this manual you should find all the information you need to successfully install,
operate and troubleshoot your drive. If you run into a problem that doesn't seem to be
covered, however, please contact us. (See "Appendix B: Technical Support" for the
different ways you can reach us.) You will be connected to our friendly, helpful band
of tech support engineers. What might seem like an uncooperative drive to you could
very well be a 30-second fix to them. But we will never know unless you contact us.
