Features:
- BURN-Proof, PoweRec-II and VariRec Technology
- High Quality Digital Audio extraction
- Easy Firmware upgrade through FlashROM
- A wide range of CD-R and CD-R/W media support
- The use of a black tray decreases the C1 error rate because the black absorbs some of the OPU’s (Optical Power Unit) laser light which improves writing quality
- The optimised printed circuit board (PCB) reduces internal noise which improves ‘jitter’ and deviation levels to produce higher quality results
- 5 high speed CD-R media in the retail packaging
- Mount Rainier ready
- Selftest function: If problems occur during the write process of a CD, it is sometimes difficult to find the reason. Is it the CD-RW drive, the CD media, the system, ....? On the PlexWriter 40/12/40U, a selftest function is available to verify the status of the CD-RW drive (defective or not).

The PlexWriter 40/12/40U, which includes 5 high speed CD-R disks will be available from June 2002 at a price of 239 EURO ex. VAT
