Using Sound Boards and Audio Cables
Whichever category your sound board falls into, you will find that the best source of
information about installing the sound board in your computer is the board’s manual.
Once you have successfully installed the sound board in your computer, you can
continue below for a description of the different cable connections that need to be
made.
NOTE: Plextor strongly suggests you not use the SCSI connection on your sound
board to control your PlexWriter. You may not be able to utilize high speed recording
(12X) due to the performance of the board.
When using Plextor drives with Plextor Manager 2000 software (if it was provided
with your drive), an audio cable is not necessary. Plextor Manager 2000’s player,
MVP 2000, plays Audio CDs digitally, eliminating the need for an analog cable
connection. (Plextor Manager 2000 can be purchased directly from Plextor if it was
not included with your drive.)
If you do need audio cables, you will have to purchase them. Refer to the table
below. A list of several vendors who offer audio cables is in Appendix D of this
manual.
