If you're going to drop the speed down to anything, use 8x.

 

As the drive appears to be having problems with the 'SONY-D21-00' discs you're using, try some other ones - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

 

Your drive may also benefit from being cleaned with a cleaning disc as it's no doubt 5+ years old now.

Hi again

That means your drive is having trouble initialising the disc.

 

I'd probably be giving it a clean at this point.
