SONY Q28A Bitsetting

Hello, in my pc i have a Sony Q28A Burner, and somepeople have told me that it does not support bitsetting, although i have looked on sites that it does support bitsetting, like Click here, this site say's that my burner supports bitsetting, how do i enlabe bitsetting?

thanks

 

I use Nero CD DVD Speed to enable bitsetting on my Sony DRU-820a. Mine is a rebadged BenQ. Yours seems to be a Lite On.

Anyway. If you don't already have Nero, you can still download the "Speed" utility from here:

Look under the Extra tab. Should be fairly straight forward to figure out how to engage.

 

thanks, although when i open the the cd-dvd speed, i go to extra, and it comes up with dvd r and dvd rw, i can set them to what ever book type, but dvd r dl i cant, why is this, my burner is a dual layer burner

 

Search here for q28a:

SONY DVD RW DW-Q28A - KYS3, KYS4 / KYR6
(Known Firmwares: KYS1/KYS2/KYS3, KAS7)

thanks, which one do i download though

 

Which firmware is presently on your drive? It should tell you when you first open CD DVD Speed. The line where there is a pull down to select your drive (if you have more than one). It should id you drive letter, such as D: and name you drive model number followed by the current firmware.

Is it KYS3? I see that KYS4 is noted as New. If you have KYS3, I suspect KYS4 would be good. I tried looking at the Sony download site and it did not recognize your model number!?

I would NOT use any region free firmware. I have stuck with the series like what came on mine. ie. It came with 1.0a and I have worked through 1.0b followed by 1.0c on mine. So, I would recommend you follow the same logic in sequence for your model.

Also, I did see some people had problems updating to KYR6 firmware when searching for Sony firmware on your drive.
