| LiteOn SOHW-822S is a DVD+R/RW only (single format) version of the SOHW-832S, which is dual-format. 822S is sold through OEMs only (bundled with PCs) and can be flash upgraded to 832S using patched, cross-flashing firmware available on the CodeGuys site: http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html Download either VS0E or CG3E patched firmware to flash your 822S, and it will become a 832S, with DVD-R/RW support! |

| hmm.. i updated the firmware and burned a dvd+r, and during the burning the light of the drive was red(not flashing)  , before i upgrade the firmware it was flashing green. What do you think?? Is that a problem or is it ok??  |

| This is ok. Older Liteon drives use the red led to indicate burning. Sony does not like this, so in some firmwares they use the green led now.

| i also noticed that the dvds that i burned didnt come out as DVD-ROM anymore.. Before applying the firmware the book-type always comes out as DVD-ROM, but now its just DVD+R, do you know how to fix this?? |

| The 822S firmwares, IIRC, will automatically booktype all +R discs. If you want the 832S to booktype +R, you should use either the official LiteOn booktype utility (see LiteOn website) or apply the autobitsetting patch (see OmniPatcher).
