About Software - Plextor PX-708A Installation And User Manual

• Analog audio output connector: Outputs an analog stereo signal.
Use this to connect to a sound board or audio amplifier. Use a
standard MPC-3 type, 4-pin connector.
• Mode jumper: Use the mode jumper to select operation as an IDE
master or slave, or for cable select. In general, leave this jumper at
its factory setting, which is master; and ensure that any other device
on the bus is jumpered as slave.
• DMA jumper: Use the DMA jumper to convert between Ultra
DMA Mode 0-2 (no jumper, default) and Multiword DMA Mode 0-2
(with jumper installed). In general, leave this jumper at its factory
setting, which is Ultra DMA (that is, no jumper installed).
• IDE cable connector: Connects to your computer's IDE (ATAPI)
interface using 40-pin IDE flat ribbon cable.
• Power connector: Connects to your computer's power supply to
provide DC +5 volts and +12 volts to the PX-708A.

About Software

In order to record on DVD±R/RW and CD-R/RW discs you will need to
have mastering, packet writing, or duplication software installed on your
computer system. If you purchased a retail kit from Plextor, you'll get
software packages that include such software.
You can use Roxio's Easy CD Creator DVD Edition to burn both DVDs
and CDs. The software lets you burn and share anything on CD or DVD,
including music, photos, and videos. You can also back up your critical
data to a CD or DVD.
One component of Easy CD Creator is DirectCD, which makes the
Plextor PX-708A drive as easy to use as a hard disk drive. You can drag
and drop files, rename files, delete files, and create new directories right
on the recordable CD or DVD disc. You can even save files directly
from your word processing software, spreadsheet, or other application
directly to the disc. (For more information about Easy CD Creator,
install this application and examine the help files.)
