Ive been doing some looking...the holidays are near as you all know. I gather that the models to pick up are the LTD-163D or the LTD-165. The situation I run into is how to determine the subtle differences between models.

I have found LTD-163, LTD-163D, LTD-165, LTD-165H and LTD-166S. Anyone got any words of wisdom on deciphering model number/labels? I checked out LiteOn's site and the only models listed with spec sheets (that I could find) are the 163 and 165.

Appreciate the help, later...

Ltd 163d it reads dual-layer DVDs. It's very reliable, quick and quiet drive. The only down is it only reads DVD-R and DVD-RW media. The newer Ltd 166S model can reads all DVD media including DVD+R and DVD+RW.
Still if your goin to play orginal dvd's the 163 will do ya, but likewise for backup say no more. 166s for mi your pick bro.

Thanks RASTABT, the info is much appreciated! The $ difference is only $15 between the 163D and the 166S...Im just looking to get the most compatible DVD companion for my LTR-40125S. I think Christmas may bring me a Clone license too...we'll see.

later...
