FAQ, tips and tricks - CD-Recording Software

• In order to record data to a CD-R media, you must use special software: the CD Pre-Mastering software. There are various packages available from numerous manufacturers. It is very important to have a version of the software that will support your model of recorder. Otherwise the software will not recognise your recorder and will warn you no recorder is available. In this case, please check the manufacturer's website for an update to the correct version.
• Plextor has made a reference list available on the website. Please check the CD-Recording Software page for the latest versions.

The Plextor PX-708A/UF can be used on Mac OS X., for full compatibility and support for the DVD+R media you will require MAC OS X.3 (Panther). Recording software must be obtained separately. Here is a short list of recording software that can be used on Mac OS X.3: Toast Titanium 6 (www.roxio.com), Charismac Discribe (www.charismac.com), NTI Dragon Burn X v3.0 (www.ntius.com).
