Unhacked Section

NOTE: There is apparently 2 different versions of the DVDR04 now, one with the 4x 451S burner and one with the 8x 813S burner.
With this difference, there are now 2 flavors of the 1097 firmware. You can tell which model you have by the serial number that is shown on the main setup screen

Be sure to choose the proper version.
