Hello,

  It seems your device is the NEC ND-1300A, which is a DVD+/-RW burner.
The writings on your box is correct, but has to be specified for the mode:
for DVD+R, only SAO and packet writing modes are supported. TAO would be
for DVD-R, and DAO, for CD-R IMHO. So if you try recording a DVD+R, I
think this error would be normal.


  Cheers,
