It's like that old joke, I'm typing this message very slowly because I know you can't read very fast. For what it's worth, I have a Plextor 8/2/20 that I had some problems with using 8x. The discs might or might not be readable in my JVC KDMX3000, CHX1200, or Sony DVP C600D, and I had to back down to 4x or 2x writes for reliability. But that was using a cheap spindle of silver CD blanks. I ordered some Mitsui blanks certified for 10x recording, and now I can record at 8x without any problems, the discs are readable by all my players. -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp.
