Pioneer Warns of DVD Recorder Woes Wed Sep 18, 5:06 PM ET LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Pioneer Electronics Inc. is warning consumers who use its popular DVD recorders to download and apply an important software repair to prevent permanent damage that could occur when recording video using new high-speed discs. Pioneer said it was "extremely important" that consumers apply the software repair, which it made available free on its Web site and by mail. Without it, Pioneer indicated its drives could freeze when using high-speed blank DVDs, allowing the laser within the unit to permanently damage an important optical lens. The problem can occur when the drives use newer, blank four-speed DVD-R discs and two-speed DVD-RW discs, the company said. Pioneer said the glitch affects its computer DVD recorders and two stand-alone DVD recorders. Pioneer has sold in the United States about 1 million of its computer recorders and about 10,000 stand-alone recorders. The affected models are: DVR-7000; PRV-9000; DVR-A03; DVR-103; DVR-A04 and DVR-104. Pioneer also warned that some computer makers include Pioneer drives labeled as a "Superdrive" with their systems, including Compaq Computer Corp., Apple Computer Co. and Sony Electronics Inc. ___ On the Net: Pioneer's software repair: pioneerelectronics.com Pioneer request line for the repair: 800-421-1623
