    Burner question

    Posted by Doug Lewis on January 2, 2007 at 9:52 pm

    I read often about updating the DVD burner “firmware”. Can someone explain the process? I have 2 computers, one with a Sony DW-U18A drive and the other with a Lite-On SOHW-1633S.

    Doug,

    I’ve personally updated the firmware only in Pioneer burners, but the process should be similar in other manufacturers’ drives. First you download the correct file for your drive from the manufacturer’s web site. Then you make sure you close any antivirus or other software running in the background on your machine. Then follow the instructions regarding unstuffing, unzipping and running the update. Usually you just run the software, and everything else happens automatically.
