Important Facts about SecureRecording
• SecureRecording burning is applicable to data (ISO 9660) CDs only.
• SecureRecording supports data CD-R discs written by disc-at-once
(DAO) techniques.
• If you are distributing a SecureRecording disc to others, please
remember to provide them the reader driver on another disc, or have
them download the reader driver from the Plextor web site at:
http://www.plextor.com/english/support/downloads/reader.html
.
• Only data CD-R discs recorded in DAO mode can be password-
protected with SecureRecording. DVD discs, audio (CD-DA) discs,
or data CDs written by track-at-once (TAO) or multi-session cannot
be protected.
