DVR-105 4x DVD Recordable

[johneboy]

so i just picked up a Cendyne DVR-105 4x at Office Max today for $169, yea that right, $169

ANYWAY, didnt get a chance to hook it up yet, but i saw on there website it says...

Features:

New! 4th Generation DVD-R/RW Writer.
Write Movies, Music and Data to 4.7GB DVD + - media.
Support for Digital Audio Output (S/PDIF).
All-in-one DVD-R/RW & CD-R/RW recorder designed to offer the widest possible playback compatibility.


the part in bold, is what im curious about... DVD + - media?
does that mean it burns both types?
everywhere else on the page, it makes it seem that its only -R
anyone know for sure?

the page where i got this from was

only -r

stock boys in the back room write much of ad copyware -- but they generally get it more correct than the ad company ..

johneboy, check your DVD burner again. I think you got the (2x) DVR-104 instead of the DVR-105. Picked one up myself at OM today for the same price as you. It was the DVR-104. OM doesn't even carry the DVR-105 yet. Still a smokin' deal, though!

they were originally advertising the 104 at the officemax by me, but they ran out or something, and i picked up a 105 (4x) instead

nope, i got the 4x..
see they ran out of the 2x ones, when my friend went to pick it up.. apparently, she was upset by this, so they gave her the upgraded model at the same price

I'm so jealous!!! You guys got an awesome deal!!! Guess I shouldn't complain about get a DVD burner for $170. I can stiil remember paying $500 for ny first CD burner - a LOUD 4x8 CD-R only SCSI burner!!!

- I was surprised to get the DVR-105 at OfficeMax, though I was really, really happy about it. It seems to be working OK for me tonight, though I have run into problems with Memorex media, both DVD-R and CD-R, the Phillips CD-R's I have worked great, but I don't have any other DVD-R's except for the Memorex ones I bought at CompUSA today. I have looked around on the forums and the net to try to see what people recommend, and I have seen some negative comments about Pioneer and Memorex media. When I tried to burn the Memorex DVD-R I get a Power Calibration Error.

What are you folks using and getting good results with?

Thanks,

Henry

I have used FujiFilm DVD-R. 4/4. No problem burning. Works great on my Sony stand alone

I also got a 4x model. In fact, in OM ads, they list 2 stock numbers, one is for 2x, the other one is for 4x. Now I need to find some cheap blank discs.
