Page 1 of DVD burning on Pioneer A04

Seen this DVD burner for £199. Has anyone bought one and how well does it play back on conventional DVD. Specifically Aiwa XD370 if anyone has tried this combo.

Not tried myself... thinking of getting one though...
Isn`t the Aiwa machine the same as the LG3350E?
In which case, I`ve heard reports that it plays DVD-Rs fine...

Can`t be much more help I`m afraid.

If your DVD is the Aiwa XD-DV370 then it can play all of these formats , DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R but according to www.vcdhelp.com it cannot (hasn`t been tested) for DVD+RW. HTH

I bought an A04 at the weekend but when I record on to a White label DVD RW it plays ok on the PC but not on my Aiwa.

I tried using Smartripper to rip to hard disk and then Nero (latest one) & stomp record max but got the same result both times.

Any ideas what I`m doing wrong ?

Not having (But hoping to get ) the Pioneer A04 I can only suggest that you spend a few quid on different brands of DVD-R. The prices aren`t too high so maybe some experimenting might help.It`s just a guess but the disc`s may be the problem and not your software.

I have an ao3 and an a04 , both writers are great , the ao4 reads the dvd 2x and the ao3 reads 1x. you must use the right discs for them cause there is a lot of crap out there do not use bulkpaq , traxdata and datasafe are the best and cheap they range from 89 pence to 2 pounds.
theblankdiscshop.co.uk is a very good supplier

OK

I`m going to try a burn on a DVR Datasafe. I`ve been trying it out on a White Label RW. Just to save disks. I`ve heard that Passi Primo & Vob something or another (bundled with the retail versions) are the best for writing. Can anyone point me in the direction of where OEM copies are obtainable?
Actually. I get my disks from the same place they do (locally).
