| I get the writer today, my old one (Sony DRU510) was working well, but the Light Scribe was the reason. It takes about 23 minutes to write the label, most of the time is better to do it twice (46 minutes).I like it verry much, it's working all well en I became a member of the Club Philips (you will get a e-mail when there's a update or news from the drive).

| Here is an update to my previous comment. I obtained a replacement drive under warranty and at least the replacement drive could read the Nero CD. I was able to install Nero. I then tried reading a selection of my DVDs including a couple of commercial ones and half a dozen DVD+Rs. The 2 commercial ones read OK, but out of the 6 DVD+Rs that I tried with 3 different brands, only 2 would read. Four would not read at all. There was no correlation of failures to a specific brand either. I also tried to do a CD copy only to find that Nero reported lots of read errors. I didn't even bother to do any write tests since if the drive can't read data reliably, what chance would there be of it writing reliably? I have spoken with Philps and advised them regarding the issues I've had with this model of drive. They inform me that the reason there is no information on their website is because the product is so new. I am also informed that there are no downloadable firmware updates for this drive yet. I decided to give up on the DVDR16LS and returned it to the store yet again. I exchanged it for a Sony DRU-720, which, although costing slightly more, not only has a faster DL burn sppeed but also reads every disk I throw at it with no problems. Clearly this is a drive that still has some issues that need to be ironed out. The result is an unreliability factor that I am uncomfortable with.

| Well the first one I purchased could not even read the supplied Nero CD without errors. I put my old Sony DVD writer back and had no problems. So I went back to the shop and got them to replace the drive. I can now get Nero to install, but several of the DVDs burned on my previous Sony DRU-510A drive cannot be read in this one. Is this a compatibility issue, or has something been sacrificed for the LightScribe feature? The more serious problem for me is that the drive is not even listed on Philips website neither in featured products nor on the support pages. Without support from Philips I will probably end uptaking this drive back and exchangining it for Sony's DRU-720. Comments posted by John from United Kingdom, March 29, 2005.
