Yes you can. Checking the FAQs I found your question answered by this . However, you may find better DL burns with a newer burner...

Yep. I used Codeguys' CG5J firmware to turn my LDW-851 into a SOHW-832 - gave it a new lease of life.

Many thanks for your help guys and I'm sorry I didn't look around properly it must be the highly technical parts of it I don't understand. What I don't understand is and I hope you clear it up is how can it improve the burn quality? Are you talking about music like through what I perceived through this link?: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=196001
All data's the same, isn't it? and all burners burn data not analogue what is improved?
