And mode2 were not available(it was gray with mode1 selected)
also only 4x speed was available but I want to burn at 1x and 2x speed… How can I do that?
Do I need a new firmware? What’s the difference between 3s121 and 1312S? Why there is no little info in internet about 3S121? How can I burn DVD safely or is this fail connected with the firmware? Do I need to return back this drive, or it is OK?
