Plextor PX 708A Problems

Anyone else having problems with the Plextor PX 708A? It won't recognize my Sony -R media, it recognizes my TDK +R, but the burn is unsucesfull. Same with Memorex +R. I can't find any of the media that is on the compatability list at Plextor.com.
I think I'm going to return it before my 14 days is up
 
finally...it works with 6.0.0.11 after wasting two discs on 6.0.0.15. I don't know if it was just the disc (verbatim 4x dvd+r), but the drive slowed down the burning to 4x or something half way...anyways the burn completed sucessfully and it works.
 
I traided it in for the TDK AID+440N. $100 cheaper and it's almost as fast, but most of all, it works. I wasted over $50 in differant brands of +R media trying to get the Plextor to work, and I tried to find the media that they recomend on there web sight, but the only place to buy it is online.
 
well its too late now but did you try to upgrade the firm to 1.01?

also I have had no problems burning anything on the PX-708A, YOU tried to burn the TDK at 8x or did you use power rec?

I have had some problems wiht power rec on -R media (i just choose 4x or 2x instead of power rec)

No problems with Ricoh +R media...
 
I went with a dual format Pioneer drive. Although not the fastest, burns are ultra reliable. I have yet to coaster a disc.

It actually came with firmware 1.01, but I tried flashing anyway without any luck. It's all good though, I'm happy with the TDK
