That is what I am wondering. It sure sounds like it. That would be awesome if that is the case.

Q. Will the new Firmware update allow my DVR-A03/103 or DVR-A04/104 to record to the new high speed DVD-R media at 4X ?

A. No, the new firmware update does not enable recording beyond the specified maximum of these drives (i.e., 2X).

...Are you sure? I upgraded & there was no change at all...

BTW- what was with the forum the other day? I couldn't log in...

so there's a change in CD-R writing speed but not DVD-R writing speed. hmm, still can't complain at the little bit quicker CD-R writing increase.

I see 3x on DVD-R, but I didn't try that.

It was with The Document of MGS2 in ISO under Nero 5.5.9.9 and using 2x for all.
