As Ian notes, the problem is fixable with a firmware flash. Ricoh have a
bit of a habit of publishing firmware updates to "improve CD reading
ability". TDK tend to on the ball about republishing the updates with
TDK in them :-).

The consequence of the poor CDspeed results is that it will probably
take longer to accurately rip a pressed disc than it would a burned
disc. It should still rip accurately (particularly with the help of
EAC).
