Hi, this forum has been great.
I recently got a new DRU-720A, but the only DVD write speeds it offers me is 6x and 8x. I've only got 4x media and I'm trying to figure out how to change the write speed. I've also got a DRU-700A, and it let's me choose 2.4x, 4x, 6x, and 8x.
My 720A has firmware version JY03. Another weird thing is when I run Nero InfoTool, the serial number for the 720A does not show up. Is that common?
Any thoughts?
