Appendix A: PX-760 Specifications
Recommended Media
You can use virtually any media in your PX-760 and be assured of the
best possible write quality. However, Plextor-recommended media are
recordable or rewritable CD and DVD media that have been tested by
Plextor and found to operate well consistently, from one manufacturing
lot to another. For each drive, Plextor engineers test media from many
different manufacturers and manufacturing facilities, creating a
recommended media list and determining the optimum write strategy for
that particular media type. The results are listed as "recommended
media," and are also assembled into a media catalog and stored in
firmware in Plextor drives.
See the Plextor web site at www.plextor.com for the latest list of
recommended media for the PX-760.
In the media lists:
• "Rated" is the manufacturer's rated write speed for the media; it's
what you see on the box.
• "Compatible" is a looser term that indicates the maximum safe
writing speed according to the manufacturer.
• "Recommended" is the Plextor-recommended speed for ensuring
top-quality writing using this media.
Plextor tests media and enters the "compatible" and "recommended"
speeds into the drive's media catalog.
