BookType setting feature is a must have with all the latest drives released on the market. Just as with all NEC drives, the 3540A also supports this function but only with +R DL media. The user can change the booktype of media either through Nero Burning ROM (automatically achieved through nero automatic functions) or by the use of some of the well known utilities available, to maximize compatibility with stand-alone DVD players.

Below you can see some screenshots from Nero CD/DVD Speed software and DVDInfoPro software. Both can be used to change the default booktype setting with the ND-3540A.
