Update Firmware?

Hi, could anybody tell me if it is possible to upgrade the firmware on my
Liteon LTR32123S ?

http://www.liteonit.com/english/engl...d-firmware.htm

If so, what would be the advantages of doing so?


Q23 Do I have to upgrade the firmware?

A23 A firmware upgrade is not necessary if the device is operating
properly in your PC system.

Thanx for that Morgan,
I heard that updating may help with certain media?

Could you tell me where I can find the questions that you quoted? Maybe it
is obvious, but I can't find them )

You are welcome...

Sorry I should have given you the link for the FAQ's here you go....

http://www.liteonit.com/english/index-english.htm

Go under Service / Support and then FAQ's

Unless you are having problems with specific media there does not seem to be a
need to update the firmware - not stopped me though :-)

Yes, a newer firmware version may improve compatibility with certain media
(especially newer discs).

One of the reasons that I asked the question is that I bought some Datawrite
40x Silver Premium Discs, made by Datasafe Media and they will only write at
24x on my machine,
Thanx again to you both.

Seems bizarre doesn't it, in that I have some Infiniti blanks that I can write
at maximum speed (52x) and have zero problems. When my friend uses them they
only allow him to burn at a maximum speed of 24x. I suppose that they can be
many variables between our hardware that might explain it but both Liteon drives
have the same firmware so it can't be that, can it...?

I wonder if Nero can be 'told' what speed to burn the disc at rather than the
maximum speed being derived from the drive 'reading' the disc...?

Sure - just before you hit burn, you have option to select which speed to
burn. Select lower (or higher) and go.

Recorder Choose Recorder.. Options Uncheck "SMART-BURN Enabled"

Agree but if Nero only allows you to go up to 24x then there is a
problem - even
though the discs are rated as being compatible upto 48x and I use them
at 52x

Hi, could anybody tell me if it is possible to upgrade the firmware on my
Liteon LTR32123S ?

which one have you ? the last firmware is the XS0Z
I've flashed my LTR32123S (was XS0X on delevery)
The most visible change is the burning mode, ie : z-clv to p-cav

If so, what would be the advantages of doing so?

??? did no harm ;-)
I don't burn a lot, but any brand at hand, no trouble ...

Thanx in advance.

my pleasure

I agree, and I normally burn at 16x (32x if I'm in a hurry) on my 48x
even
if it allows faster.
Morgan seemed to want to know why, with the same blanks and burner,
he & his friend had different max burning speeds. The Smart-Burn setting
is a possible reason.

Generally it's not such a good idea to shut off smartburn. It seems
that
specific media just doesn't meet requirements. Also once it happened
to me
similar at MMORE media - i bought two packs - one was burning perfect
at
32x, while other some were burning at 12x only, and a few of them
didnt't
burn at all (i've got burn error and coaster).
