    I also bought the LiteOn player thinking it was an ldw411s (but box actually had no label at all), but it was an ldw451s. According to LiteOn website:

    http://www.liteonit.com

    the ldw451s is a newer version of the 411s with a different pickup head and newer laser writing strategy. See their site for more info. Also, make sure you have the latest firmware. Also, downloadable from their site too. Mine drive required upgrade write out of the box.
