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 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 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-708A
contains this software.
Specifying +R/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.
Which Should I Choose?
Which is better, DVD+R and DVD+RW? Or DVD-R and DVD-RW?
Neither is “better” or “worse.” They’re just different standards, like
English versus metric measurement.
