Key Technologies :
BURN-Proof :
We've already looked at
how BURN-Proof is able to overcome buffer underruns by allowing
a stopped write to be continued from the point at which it stopped.
BURN-Proof was created by and is licensed from SANYO Electric
Co., Ltd.
PoweRec = Plextor Optimised Writing Error Reduction
Control :
The Plextor 48/24/48A features PoweRec II. Within
the drive is a database of tested media along with the optimum
burn settings for that media. Before the burn even starts this
data is used to set the optimum conditions for a reliable burn.
To further enhance this information Plextor use a real time
monitoring system that checks burn quality both continuously
and more rigorously at various zones.
VariRec Technology :
Although PoweRec II sets optimum calibration and
power settings for the media in use, there may be times where
you want to manually override the laser power setting and VariRec
allows you to do just that. The reasons you might to manually
override the predetermined laser power settings are :
change of sound quality of recorded disc (there should
be a slight change, some kind of effect when VariRec is
used on the different settings)
change of playability or compatibility with Home CD Players
or Car CD Players (some players need a slightly higher or
lower laser power)
Most audio professionals have a personal preference for
higher/lower laser power (some even say they can hear the
difference between a recording at high speed and at 1X)
