Using MTU it will load disc's (CD+G).. once loaded, My PC recognises the songs (as CD+G).. and I can play them using MTU's player... but I STILL can't make a backup copy. I've tried Fry's GQ, memorex, sony, maxell, Optimum...with the same results.. it's NOT the disc, but the program, or is the unit defective?

PLEASE help.

I know we have other customers using the 716A, and we even bought and tested one. We didn't like the way the disc went in and out. It was rough and could damage the disc. That's why we don't recommend or sell them.

I'd say your drive is faulty, but MTUSUPPORT may have a better diagnosis tomorrow.

Added 05-22-06 by ADMIN: I was out to lunch on the text posted above! We tested and sold MANY of the 716A drives. It was the 716AL that I was thinking about when I posted this.

Regarding media, I might add that if you want consistantly quality results, purchase the media that MTU markets. It cannot be beat.

If you are outside the USA, then try to get MITSUI, if at all possible. It and MTU's media are of comparable quality, and are excellent for CDG.

The problem is not the drive. The problem is that you have some other Software on your computer that is causing this. Such as EZ CD Creator or Roxio. Here is the post about this: http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?t=3622

Error number 5

Hi Bryan.. I don't have roxio or the other one and I uninstalled Nero 6 as the pasges suggested... The only labeler I use is Shurething. I'm stumped..

Open Control Panel, Add Remove Programs and type in the programs that you have installed in this forum. I will see if I see anything that might be causing this.
