| Upgraded to 2.1g firmware and am now having problems reading burned DVDs in other PCs. Varies with the media that was used. Had better success with 2.1a Firmware. So, this is very disappointing to upgrade FW and take a step back in compatibility. Comments posted by Tim_L from United States, February 18, 2005. Rated this writer 5 of 10. |

| I updated the firmware V 2.1C and now I have errors with writing (+)media. (+) media used to work fine with this burner Before!! But the (-) media workes fine. Did anyone get this problem? Comments posted by littlework from Canada, January 09, 2005. Rated this writer No rating. |

| Pretty quiet when burning and works well. Gets loud when just reading from a CD or DVD though. Had no problems so far burning very cheap Yi-Jhan media at 4x. Very satisfied... Comments posted by slickgino from Canada, November 27, 2004. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |

| One more thing. The version of MyDVD that comes with the 530UL and 530A is 5.2.1, and includes Dolby Digital Encoding (for capture). Comments posted by brett from United States, May 28, 2004. Rated this writer 10 of 10. |

| Have owned for about two months. No problems at all. 1 coaster, but that was MYDVD's fault. Don't forget to go to: http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/drx530uldwn.htm to get your firmware update! That will push this baby up to 8x DVD-R and +R, and 4x on -RW and +RW. I have used Sony -R, Fuji +RW, and TDK -R with absolutely no problems on my Vaio laptop.
