There is a ver 1.14 of the firmware.

Thanks for reply, so the problem is due to a bug in the firmware? I want to be sure before make such update.

Well, the firmware is in charge of burning the disc.

 

Something about your drive/firmware/media combo isn't working correctly, hence the error.

 

You need to change something about 1 (or more) of those 3 in order to fix it.

 

Cleaning the drive may help too, as could using a different spindle of discs.

OK, Thank you!
