Package
  The pre-release OEM version included only a drive and a CD with the 
  Nero update to version 4.0.7.5 and HomeDoctor (Sanyo's utility for writing Audio 
  CDs). HomeDoctor can only write Audio CDs from WAV files. You can select the 
  writing speed (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 12x) and the burn method (DAO,TAO). 
Installation
  Installing the drive, we left the default SCSI ID to 4 and removed the termination. 
  After booting, the CDR-W identified itself as Sanyo CRD-BP2. We unchecked 
  the Auto Insert notification, checked Sync Data Transfer and rebooted. 
  Sanyo CRD-BP2 was a December 1999 model with firmware revision Bc12. 
Currently, only Nero v4.0.7.5, NTI CD Maker Pro v3.6.870, Prassi PrimoCD Plus v1.1.356, BHA Bs Recorder Gold (only in Japanese language) and Padus DiscJuggler v2.00.412 beta support the BURN-Proof feature on this drive. The question is, how good is the BURN-Proof integration into current CDR Software?

 Latest update of Prassi PrimoCD Plus version adds BURN-Proof feature. Our tests showed that it works very good as we expected. The strange thing is that the advanced version of Prassi PrimoCD Plus (Pro 8) don't support BURN-Proof yet. So we were unable to test parallel writing with BURN-Proof (enabled for Sanyo) and not for other CDR-W drives. Let's hope Prassi will add soon BURN-Proof also to advanced PrimoCD Pro 8 version. |

 In

          burn proof. When Burn-Proof activated you cannot simulation burn. You 
          can use Burn-Proof  in both DAO and TAO mode.

         When 
          you open NTI CD Maker Pro it appears different logo from usual (BURN-Proof 
          enabled). In write menu similar to Nero it adds the BURN-Proof check 
          box which enables it.
