IS this CDR or CD RW &amp; DVD-R or DVD-RW (or both) AND does it burn and play BOTH cd's and DVD'S? (Some don't and I need one that does) Thanks SO MUCH!

This burns both CD's and DVD's (and plays both as well). We tried a "generic" unit, and found it to be very troublesome. Returned it and bought this LG, and glad we did. Nice unit.

Hi! These are in fact different than CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs are meant to be rewritten. Some burners require an audio specific type of disc like these. These are produced by Sony and while they work in a wide range of units and burners I wouldn't be able to say with 100% certainty they will work in every single one out there.Thanks!

Huh! Figure!I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit.That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

The first one is of the DVD-R type, while the second one is of the DVD+R type. Functionally, there's no difference between them, as long as your DVD burner can read/write to both types of discs.There are apparently some potential compatibility issues on DVD players, if you're planning to burn video DVDs, so you may want to read the information below and also look at your DVD player's manual to make sure it can play whichever type you plan to purchase. (Chances are good that it can play both types.)Section 4.3.6 of the DVD FAQ is probably the most helpful one:"[4.3.6] Which recordable DVD format should I buy?As explained in the previous sections, there are two main formats: "dash" (DVD-R/RW) and "plus" (DVD+R/RW). There's not much difference between them. They both record data and video, and they both read back data and play back video. Both formats are available as recordable drives for computers and as home video recorders. In spite of claims that one format is more compatible with players and drives, both formats are similarly compatible (see 4.3.1). There are speed differences, but it's a game of leapfrog. One format will come out with faster write speeds, then the other one will match it or surpass it. 16x is the theoretical maximum speed, so the latest drives from both formats are close to the limit."

Thanks for your reply Martin....I read that in the manual online also, but I think that section applies nto cd's not dvd's...how can it play each dvd withoyt accessing the menu on each dvd ???...I tried a Toshiba and a Samsung changer and neither worked with dvd's only cd's....

It's a BD-RE drive. This plays both DVD discs and Blu-ray discs, can burn to DVD-R's, and can make an .ISO from a Blu-ray, but cannot burn to a BD-R.

I had the same question and I found this on another web site:Pioneer PD-F407 - 25-Disc CD Changer * CD, CD-R, and CD-RW Playback * 15-track Best Selection Memory * Last Disc Memory FunctionI am considering purchasing it, but I cannot confirm that it plays burned cds.

okay, from my experience, you can play DVDs, CDs and burn CDs - I have not yet tried to burn a DVD. It has worked very well for me so far!

According to the product detail page, it comes with DVD-+R/CDRW, that means it can read and write CD's but cannot write DVD discs. We at designix-us offers is with DVD/CD-RW Combo optical drive, which means the drive can read and write on both CD's and DVD discs. Most often times this laptops comes with either depending on the specs at time of manufacture.

No problems at all playing CD-Rs for me and I have tried dozens. If you have problems, it may have to do with the media your using(I use Maxell CD-R Music discs), your burning software(I use CDBurnerXP on Windows 7) or maybe you got a defective player.

The player will support audio cd's or audio cd's made from windows media player, but the player doesn't support DATA cd's made from windows. I believe your dvd+r was a data cd, or data music file. It will play the photos ok, which are jpeg files and are generic to all players/computers, though. If you could create jpeg files with an AUDIO cd, I believe it would work.

DVD-R = Write Once, DVD-RW = Rewrite 100 times. DVD+R & DVD+RW are the same as -R, except the +R is faster writing, better internal design & supports Drag & Drop. -R is the most compatible computer-burned DVD format. To check to see what kind of DVD you have: Goto, Windows 7 Control Panel / Hardware & Sound / Device Manger / DVD/CD-Rom /. My computer is DVD-Ram, which means a DVD-R drive.DVD-R drives only play and record to DVD-R or DVD-RW disks.

Hi Boppy, this computer is advertised with DVD/CD-RW drive which is DVD read only. It burns and reads CDs. But we can gladly install a DVD burner at no extra cost if you place your order with us and email us with your request. Thank you for your interest,

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

See, here's the thing. The way it's worded makes it seem as though it burns bluray disc. It plays bluray disc and then allows you to burn dvd disc. I've tried a couple of softwares, including the one that came with it, but still does not burn blurays. Should work with any format going to a cd or dvd, though.
