I have a sony dvd rw dru-710a and a pioneer dvd-rw dvr-108. They both work great while burning 8x media..and they are suppose to burn up to 16x media. I use taiyo yuden and ritek blank media to burn. When i put 2 16x media in to burn..both burners reduce the speed to 4x...it wont even let me burn at 8x speed. I appreciate any help in this matter..thx...or if i put 1 16x media in to burn...it will only burn at 4x bob
Make sure your firmware is up to date for both drives. Sony 710 = BYX5: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1917 Pioneer 108 = http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1898 Make sure your drive model number matches up in this link before using the firmware to flash.
cool...thx loco :O) i appreciate the help. Ill go check it out now..and you guys are great on the response time for questions bob
You are very welcome, I just happened to be passing by. Like I said though, double check your Pioneer information.
well, the results are in..lol the sony dru 710a registered up to 12 x from 4x and 8x not 16x ..yet...... and the pioneer is no differant then before the flash...it will still only burn a -r 16x disc at 4x speed..but both burners burn +r at 8x and 12 x ..weird..... any other ideas,id be glad to try..thx again for your help
Then the Pioneer should be at the end of your IDE cable and your Sony should be connected intermediately.
Try diferent brands of quality media. Burn at 1/2 the rated speed of the blank disk for best results.
