Trouble with Yamaha 2200E

bizaree · #1 24-06-2001, 00:28

I've bought Yamaha 2200E OEM.

And i use the latest nero 5.5.2.4.

But when i burn at 20x or 16x, the nero always down the speed to 8x(It said down the speed due to the media).

But it must be wrong, because i use Verbatim 16x original which is recommended to be writed at 20x (www.cdrwcentral.com).

So i try to disable the optimum write speed control, and the buffer under run protection, but the result is stil the same.

I try it to the other computer, and the result is same.............

My computer specification :
A:
Intel Celeron 266 Mhz
Jetway Motherboard 911An (VIA Chipset)
64MB Ram
Quantum Fire Ball 4.3GB
4MB S3 Trio 3D

B:
Abit BE6-II
Intel Celeron II 566Mhz (overclock to 850)
256MB RAM
20GB Quantum Fireball Lct
GeFOrce II MX Winfast
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM
SB Live Value

I bought this 20x CD-RW at 220US$ is useless, because it's only can write at 8x.....

Anybody can help me, what's wrong, is it my computer, or Yamaha CD-RW has bad product ??????

Well, it reminds of just speed and Flex SB. Are there any quality programs in this drive?

I've solve my problem.

Ian from cdrlabs.com told me to update my firmware, and it's work. It's the brand new firmware 1.0d (write at 20x with junkies).

You can download the firmware here :

I think Yamaha 2200 is better than Yamaha 2100.

When i write at 16x using my 2100, it can't read on my old player, but when i write at 20x using Yamaha 2200E, my old player can read it smoothly (same media of course).

So maybe it's useful for Yamaha 2200 buyer. Update your firmware !!!!!
