The largest issue that we saw was the 4X DVD burn on
MCC 003 media (Verbatim). During our tests, the drive would not find an 8X write descriptor. After consulting Sony, it seems that the final versions of this drive will support 8X write speeds on MCC 003 media.
Other media burn speeds seem fairly conservative. There are no burn speeds higher than what is labeled on the media.

To the person who asked about compatibility with set top boxes, take a look at the book type section. It's all there.DerekBaker - Wednesday, May 5, 2004 - link
