I believe if you put a CD-RW in it will give you the 4x option. Or if you have XP as an OS it has a native Roxio that will go as low as 1x with my yamaha 24x10x40. I use nero and I have the option to go as low as 1x. When you open the new compilation dailog the last tab that says burn. Mine starts at 24x and then16x and keeps going down 4x 2x 1x are also options.Have you updated your nero it is up to 5.59
Good Luck

1st
why did you buy a burner that burns at only the speeds above the speed you desire .

2nd
if you burn it at 8x 6x 10x or 12x the only differance between x-speed when burning is chance of a under buffer

I have an LG 16x10x40 and burn all my CD's at 16X except CD-RW's which burn at 10X and I have yet to have "coaster".

I have burnt over 200 CD's at this stage using CD Creator 4.0 until I loaded WinXP Pro and now I use NTI CD Maker 2000 Pro and still have a 100% burn record.

Nero only lets you choose the lowest speed that the drive can write at. Even if you find a program that will let you write at 1x it will still be writing at 8x. Time it to see for yourself.

I burn everything at 40x (disc copies, audio cds, vcd's, psx backups and other things) and have never had a problem with any device using the cds. Chances are you can use 8x and still be fine.

Yeh, burner problems for me too:( heh..I got it fixed once by doing windows updates, disk defrags, virus scans, taking programs off, but this wasn't long ago....About a week ago and it's already erroring on 11% on each CD i try to burn.. Any suggestions? My sister is using an HP and just the simple HP Record program to burn CDs..I know it's crap, better built manually, but hey, can somebody help me work with what I'm given to work with?
well..thanks

Nobody has asked why this guy want's to burn @ slow speeds. Has he got a problem but is asking the wrong question ?

There should be no real need to throttle back modern burners so if you have got a problem CC do tell us what it is.
