Which cd-r media can I use with my nec 3500 to burn at 48x?

Just about all you need to know about the 3500A and media.

So, only verbatim 48x?? That's pretty bad...

(in reply to GenAn)

yes unfortunaly, NEC 3500A is rather strict with CD-R media

(in reply to jamo)

i have also tested TDK 48x and 52x media....both seem to burn well at 48x

Apart from this I would suggest the 24X or 32X speed for your CD recordings.

Is there any restriction on the types of media for CD recording ?

funny thing, i found two unused tdk 48x cd's! popped one in the drive and looked at nero to see what it would burn at and it was 48x! C ya later memorex cd-r's :P

(in reply to Mr T2)

Something is very wrong when NEC limits TY CD-Rs to 32x, but allows CMC to burn at 48x...

Thanks for the reply

BTW, when I burned a cd with nero, it finished in like 3:30 minutes for 24x. My father's that was burned at 40x finished in 5 minutes...(lg cd-rw only burner)

(in reply to Nelson8)

We have to look at this, why TY are limited to 32x...

(in reply to jamo)

And apparently it handles two types of 32x speed writing strategies:

It's doing 32x Z-CLV with:
