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.
PlexTools® Professional is a powerful application software package that
lets you take full advantage of the CD/DVD functions of the PX-712
drive. When installed on your computer, this software lets you use your
Plextor PX-712 to burn CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD discs. It also lets you
take advantage of all the unique new features found in the Plextor PX-
712 drive.
You can also use Roxio’s Easy CD Creator™ 6 Basic DVD Edition to
burn 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 Drag-to-Disc, which makes the Plextor PX-712 drive as easy to use as
a hard disk drive. (For more information about Easy CD Creator, install
this application and examine the help files.)
For details on other software that is available for writing to DVDs or
CDs, please visit the web sites of the companies whose software you are
interested in, refer to their user’s manuals, or look at the help option
within the software. A list of various software that you can use with
your Plextor drive can be found in the Support/Compatibility section of
www.plextor.com.
Precautions
Like the rest of your computer system, your PX-712 requires reasonable
care in its installation and use.
•
Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other
contaminants.
