DVD writer bought

I bought a Sony DRU-170C DVD writer (Sony DVD RW AW-G170A) from Metro Computers, P. R. Lane, (off S. P. Road) today for 1820/- (Rs. 1750 + 4% V.A.T.).

Notes:
a) Can write almost every DVD format conceived including DVD-RAMs. (At least, the specs give me that impression.)
b) 4 screws provided.
c) Black on my beige cabinet. (I asked a couple of shops and they didn't have white DVD?RWs at all), (this cabinet will go soon.)
d) No printed manual - on the CD only.
e) One year limited warranty seems to be available only in the US and Canada.
f) Nero Essentials only provided on the CD (apart from the manual) - yet to see what software this comprises.
g) No P-ATA or digital audio cable provided.

I also picked up some blank DVDs from Ankit Computers, S. P. Road:
150/- for a ten-pack (with hard plastic cover) of Master 16X 4.7 GB DVD-Rs.
85/- for a Moser Baer 4X 4.7 GB DVD+RW.
