AUTOSTRATEGY: The best DVD Quality
For the best writing quality, the drive's AUTOSTRATEGY technology selects the
optimized write strategy for every DVD disc and, if necessary, creates a new
write strategy for unknown media. (DVD+/-R)
A separate database stores all strategies that are created by the AUTOSTRATEGY
function for media that is not currently supported in the firmware. A maximum of
31 write strategies can be held in the non-volatile memory of the drive.
The entries can be activated or de-activated, and deleted. The list of database
entries can be viewed and saved or printed.
The user can select the write strategy from the AUTOSTRATEGY database or from
the database that resides in the drive's firmware by activating a different Mode.
Remark: This function is only available for DVD+R and DVD-R media
(4X and higher).
| 1. Auto Selection Mode: |
|
The drive will select the best write strategy, whether it is located
in the AUTOSTRATEGY database or in the firmware database. If no suitale
strategy is found, AUTOSTRATEGY will create a new, optimized strategy in
the database.
|
| 2. AUTOSTRATEGY On Mode (Forced): |
|
The drive will create a new write strategy for every new recording,
whether a corresponding strategy exists already in the firmware or not.
|
| 3. AUTOSTRATEGY On Mode: |
|
The drive will use the write strategies from the AUTOSTRATEGY
database for recording. If no suitable strategy is found, a corresponding
write strategy from the firmware's database will be used. |
| 4. AUTOSTRATEGY Off Mode: |
|
The drive will only use the write strategies from the firmware's
database for recording. If no corresponding write strategy is found,
the default write strategy will be used. |
|

Media Quality Check
To assure you're receiving the best results with your drive,
this function checks the quality of blank media.
Write strategy creation
This function offers to create a new write strategy for your blank media.
The drive will create a new write strategy in the AUTOSTRATEGY database without
recording a disc. It is possible to create several write strategies for the same
media, which can be useful if there is a quality difference among media with the
same MID code.
PlexEraser
PlexEraser is a data destruction utility that makes a recorded CD-R or DVD disc
unreadable. The drive will "re-record" over the Lead-in and data sectors of a
write once disc rendering the disc data unusable. Initially this feature will
support DVD+/-R and CD-R media. Firmware upgrades will add support for DVD+/-R DL
media.
SecureRecording
The SecureRecording function lets you write on a CD-R disc and protect the data
with a password. To view the contents of a password-protected disc-or even to see
a catalog of files-the user must enter the correct password. The password can be
entered via PlexTools Professional software, or with SecuViewer software.
Buffer underrun proof
The buffer underrun proof technologies offer a solution to prevent writing
failures during the burning process for CD and DVD by pausing the burn if the
data to the drive write buffer is slowed or stopped. The drive resumes the burn
process after the drive write buffer is refilled.
Silent mode
If the drive needs to be used in a quiet environment, the drive can be switched
to 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. This technology is excellent for recording
studios or offices where low noise is required.
SpeedRead
Enable reading CD-R media up to the maximum speed of the drive. Discs that may be
damaged due to mishandling or improper use may shatter due to the higher
rotational forces reached at the maximum read speed of the drive. The drive's
maximum read speed is therefore limited as a safety function. SpeedRead enables
the user to increase the read speed of the drive to the maximum possible. Plextor
recommends examining each disc before enabling this function.
GigaRec
GigaRec lets you change the recording capacity of a standard CD-R disc from 70
percent up to 130 percent of its standard capacity. You can use GigaRec for CD-DA
or data writing at 4X and 8X disc-at-once (DAO). The feature allows you to get
that extra storage on a single disc for a larger project. For smaller projects,
like an audio master, the feature enables you to use the entire capacity of the
disc, increasing the size of the pits and lands for higher reproductive quality.
VariRec
VariRec provides user adjustment of the recording power above or below a default
level. The default level reflects an optimized laser power setting with reduced
jitter. Changing this setting will result in a change of sound or sound quality
and may increase the playability or compatibility with existing players.
Q-Check
PlexTools Professional software provides a suite of diagnostic tests for blank and
recorded media. The pre-recording tests of blank media allow you to choose the
best media brands and recording parameters for your drive. The post-recording
tests quantify the recording session and provide analyzer-type results to
guarantee you're getting the best recording possible.
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.
Using real-time monitoring of the write data, PoweRec can increase or decrease
write power and speed to guarantee the best possible writing quality with
whatever brand media is used.
PlexTools Professional
This software tool offers a complete suite of recording applications and supports
your drive's advanced quality check functions. Advanced drive settings such as
GigaRec or Silent Mode can be changed. High quality audio extraction, various
recording modes, and copying of files or disc images can be selected. Media
testing with the drive's Q-Check function allows you to select the best media for
your drive and examine the quality of your recordings. (www.plextools.com)
