Updating old Burners
 

I have about 8 Pioneer burners ranging from 104-106. They are all Dvd-R burners....But recentlyI have been trying to backup some dvd+r's and I have found that some of the burners will not READ the discs....Yes...I realize that I can not BURN on DVD+R...>BUT that is my question....Is there any firmware updates that I can get to overcome this....perhaps I can convert them all to +r burners as well..I remeber back in the day you could hack the burner to burn 4x onto 2x media or something like that.......Thanx for any help you can offer

None that i know of. You can check the forums at cdr-labs

i still use pio107d with it's final (1.22) firmware & until that i had many errors & problems with +r discs. i do not recommend any of patched firmwares because they are very unstable. consult this site for updates:
