JUST A REMINDER: Before you start burning any sort of media, we highly recommend that you head over to Sony’s website and check to make sure that you have the latest firmware installed on the DRU-530A. Firmware is a software update for the drive itself and will usually fix any bugs or problems the drive encounters after production.
