Playing DVDs
To play a digital video disc, insert the DVD as you would any other
disc. The drive plays both single-layer and dual-layer discs.
The first time: A code on each DVD allows it to be played only on
players designed for a certain regional area, such as North America,
Europe, etc. When the drive ships from the factory there is no region
code set. The first time a DVD that has a region setting is inserted into
the drive, the drive is automatically set to that region code.
If you later insert a DVD with a different region code, you are prompted
to either accept changing the new region code or not. If you don’t accept
the change, then that DVD will not play. If you do accept the change,
then the region code setting is changed. But remember: you can change
the drive’s region code only 5 times. After that, you can’t change it any
more.
Writing to DVD Media
You need special software that supports writing to DVD+R and
DVD+RW discs: or to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. The Roxio Easy
CD Creator DVD Edition on the CD that accompanies your PX-712
contains this software.
SpecR/RW or -R/RW
You don’t need to specify whether to write to +R/RW or -R/RW. The
selection is automatically made for you, based on the media you insert in
the drive.
Writing to CD-R and CD-RW Media
In conjunction with your drive, mastering and packet writing software
such as Easy CD Creator and DirectCD allow you to write audio, video,
data, or other information to writable (CD-R) or rewritable (CD-RW)
media. The PX-712 writes to all types of CD-RW media.
