I am using a Sony DRU-510a with the firmware upgrade and no matter what I try it will only read at 2x. I have confirmed that it is not stuck in PIO only mode. I have tried everthing are there other windows settings that effect this? I also use a Serial ATA hard drive and I've noticed that windows is not real friendly with it, could this be my problem? I have also read about other brand of players that stuck at 2x until you hold the eject button for 3 seconds for sound purposes, does the Sony have the same type of hardware blocking?? Please help...

I think maybe I have found the answer,Sony now has a drive speed selector. http://media.fastclick.net/w/get.me.../sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/dru510adwn.htm I havent tried it yet but if there are no further replies from me that means it worked. You have to take a 5 minute survey but if it works its worth it.
