Using Discs, Caddies,

and Tray/Caddy Adapter

YOUR TASK: Learn how to use a caddy or tray/caddy adapter

and how to handle and care for your discs.

YOUR OBJECTIVE: Protect your discs. Insert and eject caddies properly

so your drive operates without interruption.

YOUR METHOD: Practice loading discs into caddies and caddies into

drives.

PlexWriter4/12usesanindustry-standarddisccaddytoprotectthediscfromscratches

and contamination. A standard caddy is made of plastic and has a metal shutter on

its bottom that slides open and shut. Plextor also provides a tray/caddy adapter that

provides the reliability of a caddy and the convenience of a tray. Unless provided or

recommended by Plextor, use of a non-standard caddy (e.g., one that lacks a metal

shutter on its bottom) is not recommended. For their protection, CD-R and CD-ROM

discs should be stored in their original packaging or in a caddy.

Inserting the Disc into a Standard Caddy

1. To open the lid of the caddy,

press the tabs at the side

as shown.

2. Place the disc into the caddy

with the label facing UP.

Be sure to place the disc

beneath the edge of the

caddy under the arrow mark.

Handle the disc by the sides.

Don’t touch its surface.

1. Push the Eject button. The caddy will eject from the drive in 2--3 seconds.

2. Pull the caddy straight out of the drive.

3. If the caddy will not eject from the drive after pushing the Eject button, you

should be able to remove the caddy from the drive by using the Emergency

Eject button. Turn off power to the drive. Insert a paper clip into the

Emergency Eject hole. The caddy should now eject from the drive. Please

contact Plextor’s Technical Support Department before attempting to rein-

sert the caddy into the drive.

Cleaning the Disc

For proper read and write performance, it is important that your CD-R and CD-ROM

discs be clean. Trying to record on a dirty disc may result in a failed session and ruin

the disc.

If the disc is merely dusty, you may use a commercially available dust removal spray

such as Dust-Off or Vari-Air to blow dust particles off the disc. You should not use

liquid or chemical cleaners. They may damage the disc and make it unrecordable.

After removing the dust particles, you may wipe the disc using a clean, soft cotton

cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints. Use a straight-line motion, wiping

from the center out. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.

If an unrecorded disc becomes dirty or soiled with grease or other contaminants not

removablebywiping,youshouldprobablydiscardthedisc.Itwillprobablyfailduring

the recording process.

Hint: Keeping your frequently used CD-R and CD-ROM discs in caddies at

all times will prevent them from becoming dirty or damaged.

How to Play Audio CDs

on Your Drive

YOUR TASK: Learn how to use your CD-R drive so that it can

also play audio CDs.

YOUR OBJECTIVE: Increase functionality of your drive. Provide

musical accompaniment for presentations. Goof off

at work.

YOUR METHOD: A variety exists for you to choose from. You can

use anything from front panel controls or very

basic, bare bones audio CD software utilities up to

software utilities that rival or surpass the capabilities

of the CD player attached to your stereo system.

1) The most basic method is to use the PlexWriter 4/12 front panel audio

controls. No special drivers are needed to operate this feature.

Once an AUDIO CD is inserted into the drive, simply push the button to

begin AUDIO play. Once the AUDIO is playing, push the play button once

for track advance, or hold down the button for more than 1 second to begin

a fast forward search (ffwd). To eject, press the Stop/Eject button once to

stop AUDIO play and a second time to eject the CD.

WhileinaudioCDplaymode,youcanreadaCD-ROMdatadiscby simply

removing the audio CD and inserting a data CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2) For PC users, audio utilities are provided with Plextor Manager software

utilities. For installation and operating instructions, refer to the separate

Plextor Manager software manual.

3) Other alternatives include audio utilities designed into your operating

system(MediaPlayerinWindows,forinstance)orvariousotherutilitiesthat

can be purchased commercially.

4) Mac users can run a program such as CDT Remote (which typically is

included with FWB’s CD-ROM device driver).

In order to hear the audio CD your drive is playing, you can plug a pair of stereo

headphones or self-powered speakers into the headphone jack on the drive’s front

panel. You also can connect your drive to an audio amplifier as shown on the next

page.Theaudiocablesshownareavailableatmostcomputerandaudiosupplystores.
