Features Of The Px-712Uf - Plextor PX-712UF Installation And User Manual

Features of the PX-712UF

• USB 2.0 and FireWire interface: Features both USB 2.0 and
FireWire® (IEEE 1394), to connect to a PC or Macintosh computer
with either of these high-speed interfaces. Supports both Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 (480 megabits per second) and Full-Speed USB 1.1 (12
megabits per second).
• PoweRec: 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 a DVD, PoweRec checks to see if the maximum 12X speed
is possible, and sets the optimum write speed.) You can enable and
disable PoweRec.
• 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 access speed, read/write speed, and tray
opening and closing speed, you reduce drive noise to a whisper.
• MMC compliance: Supports the MMC-4 command set.
• Flash memory: Allows upgrading the PX-712UF to the latest
firmware revision (available from the Plextor web site) without
opening the computer or physically accessing the drive.
• Black tray: Reduces the effect of optical distortion by absorbing
reflections from the laser beam, enhancing read quality.
• Plug and Play: Supports Windows Plug and Play.
• Self-test diagnostics: The PX-712UF has a self-test diagnostic
function for easy troubleshooting.
