| Thanks CC Romeo!! I just replaced the drive in my 5005x with a Lite-On LH-18A1P. I would recomend this burner as a good replacement. Its quiter than the 1693 & 160 models. Still no FF. Will not record VCD or SVCD but will play. Otherwise I think its the best replacement that I've used so far. |
| Was wondering about this one as I need to replace the drive in my 5005X and the other ones are out of stock. The reviews on NewEGG say this is really noisy drive. How has it been for you? Of course the stock drive in this thing (DDW 451S) is noisy already and now won't open regularly. Was hoping for a little quieter one. Thanks for your input. |
| As far as I'm concerned it a real good replacement. Very quiet and it runs a lot cooler than my other burners (1693 & 160) You should be happy with this one. |
| Will give it a try. If it is really noisy, NEWEGG will likely exchange it for another. I think you said you have it sitting outside your box. Maybe that was someone else. What do you do with the cables that are connected to the unit. How do you close the top of unit? |

| Will let people know how it works out. The unit right now won't open the tray unless I try like 10 times. Otherwise have been happy with it. Bought the thing off of Ebay new for 70 bucks. Can't complain at all really. |
| Its not ugly. I just raised the center up alittle and protected the wires so the top won't cut into them. I might put it inside later when I get time to fit it properly. I wanted to make sure that heat and noise wasn't going to be an issue. I didn't want to take the time to fit it inside and then have a issue later. I wasn't happy with the 1693 or the 160 models that I tried so I gess my way saved me some work. |
| is the model LH-18A1P-487C the one that will work on a 5005 Is it easy to fit. What is involved Will all functions work Thanks for any help Gary |
| Just replaced the original drive in my Lite-On 5006 recorder with a new Sony DRU-120C from NewEgg (~$45, including shipping). I was surprised to find that the original drive in my Lite-On 5006 had a Sony logo (model DDW-813S). It had lost its ability to read various DVD media and had begun to "write fail" and create "invalid discs" a whole lot. I tried cleaning the lens of the original drive, but that did not improve performance. So I did some research, found out the Sony DRU-120C was a rebadged Lite-On SHM-165P6S, and decided to take a chance on it as a replacement. Details of my research and experience with this drive are discussed in my previous thread, mainly starting with post #19. I followed closely the simple installation procedures outlined by TunedPort350 in this thread, which includes some helpful photos. The minor modifications I made with the Sony DRU-120C were essentially the same ones TunedPort350 made for the Lite-On 160P6S replacement drive for his 5005 recorder. I'm guessing the two drives are basically identical on the exterior, and mine now also fits very snugly into my 5006 recorder, using his install procedures. I am using the MYR5 firmware that came with the DRU-120C from NewEgg, although there is apparently a recent firmware update - version MYS6. However, the official Sony USA website does not yet list any firmware update for this drive. And since my 5006 is once again performing very well, I am reluctant to update the new burner's firmware. I am very happy with the restored performance of my 5006 with this replacement burner. My previous irritating DVD recording problems have been completely solved with the new Sony DRU-120C burner installed. I use my 5006 recorder only for recording DVDs, and as best I can tell, the machine is now back to perfect performance for that purpose. I do not make VCD or SVCD recordings. And like most (if not all) the current replacement drive options discussed here, the Sony DRU-120C did not restore VCD or SVCD recording capabilities to my 5006 recorder, which is of no particular consequence to me. My 5006 does still record audio CDs. Unlike most Lite-On 5xxx recorders with replacement drives, however, my newly-rejuvenated 5006 recorder also still has full "fast forward" functionality, which may make this Sony DRU-120C burner the most desirable replacement burner available today. I recommend that anyone interested in possibly using this burner as a replacement drive first read carefully my thread (first link in this post), in order to gain a better understanding of additional details including firmware updates for the Sony DRU-120C drive. CCRomeo, please add the Sony DRU-120C (aka Sony DW-G120A) as another replacement drive option for Lite-On 5xxx (mine is a 5006) recorders. Thanks to all who generously offered their assistance.

| Fitted drive as specified. was quite easy but had to loose the three little lugs on the front panel above the drive slot as they stopped the drive snuggling into place. Seems to work ok. I have ff and playback as welll as rec not had time to test all others. Point of interest my 5005 has a 5006 main board in it Gary |
| Thanks paps33, I have downloaded a copy of the MYS6 firmware, but the Sony USA site still lists no firmare update for the Sony DRU-120C burner (aka Sony DW-G120A, Lite-On SHM-165P6S). Is European and USA/Canada firmware interchangeable? I have unhacked Lite-on 5xxx recorder firmware (version 101), and my recorder is not region-free, so I don't want to mess that up. Since my Lite-On 5006 recorder with the new Sony DRU-120C replacement drive is now again performing very well, I am reluctant to upgrade the new drive with any firmware not listed on the Sony USA firmware site here.

| Gary G, Did you also use the Sony DRU-120C for your replacement drive? I also had to widen the small openings on the front of the drive above the drawer to make it fit perfectly. I used a pair of wire clippers to trim the metal just a little, and the DRU-120C slid right into place - snug against the body of the Lite-On recorder, supported by the original metal bracket in front (original plastic legs removed) and resting on the old plastic legs in the rear. With those slight modifications, I think mine is now a perfect fit.

| I put a LiteOn DW1670 (aka Philips/BenQ DVD8900) in my 5005, and it seems to work fine. Fitting was a bit fiddly, I ended up taking the bottom metal plate off, hacking some metal off the front of the top bit, and when I came to put it in the case I had to lift the back up a little with some folded paper to make everything line up nicely. The only problem is that sometimes when the unit is turned off I get faint 'ticking' noises, presumably from the drive. Can be fixed by pulling the power out, turning off and on and waiting a bit usually. Anyone else noticed this? Thanks to all who've posted on how to do this. Ian. |
| ipl Do you have all origional functions? We are looking for a drive that maintains all functions (FF, SVCD & CD ect.). Please post info. on this. |
| I can play commercial DVDs (Only Region 2, as I can't find region free firmware) I can play and record DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW. I don't have any DVD-RW discs. Skipping chapters works fine. Fast forward works fine. I'll try playing an audio CD tonight (is that what you meant by CD?) and an SVCD if I can find one. Any other functions you're interested in? Ian. |
| What I'm looking for is to record a CD-R. Some of the Lite-On (ALLWRITE) units recorded a CD in VCD or SVCD mode. No one has been able to find a replacement that will burn CD's (yet). This is what I am hoping to find. Thanks for the info. happy recording! |
| Dr. Paul See my post in this thread (#10 above). The replacement drive I installed in my 5006 will record an audio CD, but will not record a VCD or SVCD.

| That was my question. Thank You. I'm still looking for one that will do the CD's. I've tried 15 burners so far plus the ones posted on this site and I'm begining to think that there isn't one that will work. The local stores that I've been getting the burners from have no other models in stock. Besides they are tired of me returning them. This has been fun and I learned alot about burners. One thing that I'm going to try is to get a Lite-On SHW-160P6S & SHW-165P6S and flash them to a Sony machine. Both of these units are from the 6th. Generation and have a rebadged Sony partner. This will be my last try before I give up on finding one. (At least for now) |
| I just replaced the drive with the 1693S. CCROMEO your instructions were great. Looking at it you would never know it had a drive replacement! COOL! It is kind of noisy but only with certain disks. Huge improvement over the stock junker as far as speed. Only problem is it won't play commercial disks. I have the MR. W FW. Any help. Bob |
| Take and hook it up to your PC and and put in a commercial DVD. This will set region code for you then put it back in the recorder. I also have a 1693 and you're right its noisy and gets pretty hot. Its a good replacement though. |
| Thanks to all the people in this forum for all the helpful information. I have a Liteon LVW-5005 which worked fine for about a year and a half. Then about two months ago it started having problems writing to -R and +R DVDs. It also had problems reading DVDs that I had previously recorded on this machine. Oddly enough, there were no problems reading or writing to DVD+RWs or CD-R/RWs. My problems were very similar to the ones experienced by hleone of this forum. I went to FutureShop and bought a Sony DRU-820A for $50 CDN. (CCRomeo, please take note.) I set the region code (Thanks, DR. Paul) in my computer. I couldn't figure out how to remove the old unit without breaking the tray so I just left it in. Then I cut a notch in the back to allow the power plug to hang out the back. Since the signal ribbon is flat, I just draped that over the back edge. I put the cover back on and put the screws back in except for the two on the top, back. This allowed room for the two cables sticking through from inside the machine. I placed the Sony unit on top of the machine, attached the two cables to the unit and turned on the machine. The Sony is very quiet so it sitting outside the machine will work fine for me. So far, I have tried writing to 16x DVD-R, 16x DVD+R, and 4x DVD+RW. They all work fine so I am very happy with my new Sony drive. I don't care about burning VCDs or SVCDs since blank DVDs are now as cheap as blank CDs. Just as long as it can burn music CDs as I am sure it can. I might try burning a DVD+R DL just to see what happens. |
| Glad to hear everything went well for you; Would you check the fast foreward to see if it works properly? That is one of the big problems on the replacement drives. Also the SVCD & VCD are not that important. I would just like to know if there is a perfect replacement out there? |
