My Sony DVD ROM U1613A died and a direct replacement is unavailable, the
later replacement U1615A did not recognize DVDs burnt using the Sony DVD
RW DW-U18A though it read commercial DVDs OK. I had to try many brands
of drives till I found one that would read DVDs burnt using the DW-U18A.
Is this usual? These DVDs ran fine in a DVD player and many of my
friends DVD ROM drives. Does this mean that one has to replace drives in
pairs in order to ensure compatibility?
