Nec 4551A problems

Hi all,
Im a newbie here, so pls be gentle !

I have an Nec 4551A
I bought it as OEM and it reads/writes DVD’s without any problems.

My problem is with CD-R.

Everytime I write a CD-R the tracks ‘jump’, ie: their are skips in the sound when played.
I have tried flashing my original 1.07 firmware with the 185_rcp1 firmware.
I have tried three different brands of discs.
I have checked my cables for loose connections.
I have tried using both Nero and CDRWin burning s/w.
I have tried reduced my burning speed to the slowest.
I have tried both diskspace and temp file burning strategies.

All to no avail. :rolleyes:

Any suggestions appreciated and apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
Thank you.

It appears to have been Nero all along. How frustrating!

I used to have a seperate Pioneer CD-RW and always used that for CD’s until I bought my NEC 4551a.

I didnt think the problem would be Nero as it always used to work with my CD-RW for Audio CD’s and always burns DVD’s without any problem using my NEC 4551a.

Well, thanks very much for the suggestion!
