PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D - Burning problem!
I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D ( Firmware Revision: A606).
Recently i experience serious problems when trying to burn all kinds (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW) and brands (Verbatim, Emtec, Sony, Epro etc.) of DVD's.
Sometimes I get different kind of errors like...
"The drive reported a error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03"
or
"The drive reported a error:
Sense Key = ILLEGAL REQUEST
Sense code = 0x21, 0x02
BUFFER UNDERRUN"
In other cases the drive just ejects the DVD without even mounting it (this mostly happens with DVD-RW media)
Sometimes when i give OK to the error message and try to burn the disc again the problem is solved, but this doesn't work every time.
Please note that i haven't used the drive much (i've recorded not more that 30-40 disks at all!!!) which should mean that it's almost new.
Please tell me if there is a way to solve this problem, because i don't want to spend money on a new drive plus it will be hard to find appropriate one where i live (Bulgaria).
P.S. i tried to find a newer Firmware Version without success... the DVR-106D is not even listed in www.pioneerelectronics.com
Thanks in advance for your answers!
