Didn't notice that in the instructions (maybe I should wear glasses at my machine), but I did find it on google, so I was going to say 'yes, but can't remember the error message' so I tried it again. Brown paper bag moment. My apologies for asking something that you've already documented in the book. Do you know if it's necessary to insert the DVD before starting parole (I had a problem like that with xfburn telling me the drive was empty). ? I think the error on my previous attempt was something like 'no such device'. Perhaps I mistyped. Playing nicely, but I'm still puzzled by those menu options. No matter.
