Pioneer DVR 108 doesnt burn/read!

[memories2002]

Ive burned around 6-8 discs with my 1-month-old burner; princo, moser baer, and memorex CMC media. And MCC DVD-RWs. No hitch, all at specified 4x speeds. No errors.
Now, the same batch of Princos and Moser Baers are giving me "internal target error, burn failed at 4x" errors. Same with 2x. Verbatim RW wrote fine. CD/DVD reading has become TERRIBLY slow, if it opens at all. I dont know if im on running this on a 40 pin or 80 pin cable, but it worked fine yesterday, so what went wrong today?
Im using Gradius' 1.18 firmware with rpc1 and 12x video ripping.
Please help!!

I had that problem with my 4x pioneer burner when burning certain media (princo 1x at the time). It would work great with other media though. Since the drive was several years old, I decided to take it apart and clean the laser lens with a lens cleaner. That solved it and I had no more internal target errors.

Since your burner is new though, it shouldn't be dirty, so it's probably some other problem. You may just need to RMA it. Try a different cable or try the burner in a different computer to be sure it's the burner.

I'm also using the same firmware as you in my new dvr-108 (about 2 months old) and have burned about 20 dvds with no problem since I updated the firmware, so it's probably not your firmware. But you can try flashing back to a retail version to be sure.

Good luck!

Tried 80 wire cable, no help. Tried sony cdr and verbatim cdrw, worked fine. Tried new Moser Baer, Samsung, and CMC MAG memorex media, no help. Tried 2x speeds, other software, no help!
Bump!
