Too bad it writes dvds in Z-CLV. You can see from the review that
quality is not so good. It does cds in CAV though.

Still waiting for plextor 716

Ripped from cd forum:

"The ND-3500A writes at 16x CAV on both DVD+R and DVD-R, however, when writing at 6x, 8x, and 12x speeds, it uses Z-CLV. I believe that Z-CLV delivers better burn quality. The ND-3500A's Z-CLV 12x strategy isn't slow either - much quicker than Pioneer's 16x Z-CLV strategy (~6min34sec vs. ~7min19sec)!

In summary:
DVD-R: 16x (CAV), 12x/8x/6x (Z-CLV), 4x/2x (CLV)
DVD+R: 16x (CAV), 12x/8x/6x (Z-CLV), 4x/2.4x (CLV) "

For for information see this thread

If anyone is looking to dump their 2510 in place of this, drop me a PM. I may be interested. Please include your final price shipped.

Thermallc, they charged my card as soon as i ordered it. I'm telling you these guys are fast. I then tried to call newegg so they can add the free DVD pack, but they were closed. So i logged in, canceled my order, and re-order another 3500 with the free dvds. I received a cancellation email immediately followed by another email saying that my card had been charged for the new order.

I guess you can RMA it, or if you have AMEX platinum, you can use their return protection program, or last but not least, you can sell it.

Hi, i've wanted to buy a dvd burner for a while. I narrowed it down to Pioneer dvr-108 and the old NEC 2500A model. Now that the new one is out, I think im gonna go with this. But I'm still new to this(no idea what/where to get info on firmwares, what Z-CLV is, etc), you guys know any sites/forums that have newbie faqs for dvd burners and firmwares in general? Thanks!
