| Never been able to burn a DVD. Burn CDs almost correctly, but manages to fail sometimes. Big difficulties to read writable medias, sometimes unable to read its own burned CDs. Unable to read at least a third of regular DVDs. The driver is in a Sony VGN-B1XP, firmware is 1.10. Comments posted by Kame from France, March 29, 2006. Rated this writer No rating. |

The original drive sucked! I purchased the pioneer DVR-K14 about nine months ago and the drive is perfect. The DVR-K14 exists as two versions: K14 and K14DL (dual layer). Use the following site for specs: http://www.pioneeraus.com.au/computer/dvdwriters/dvr-k14/index.html I have used the following media: Maxell DVD +R (2.5x, 4x), Taiyo Yuden DVD-R (8X), TDK CD-RW (1x-52x),Verbatim CD-RW (1x-52x), Ritek CD-R (1x-52x), Prodisc CD-R (1x-52x). So far so good. Aigia Comments posted by Aigia from United States, July 14, 2005. Rated this writer 9 of 10. |

| Can't finalize any DVD+ or -R with this drive. DVD+-RW works fine. Tried several different brands and burning programs. Found some clues that I'm perhabs not the only one with this problem. My drive came from acer and has identification DVR-K14RA and firmware 1.12 Comments posted by Gogorrr from Germany, March 09, 2005. Rated this writer 1 of 10. |

| The drive is really good. It works perfect with Tayo Yuden and Intenso DVD-R media. Is there any firmware update out there for this model? I have a Sony VAIO VGN-B1XP with the Pioneer DVR-K14 Slim edition and firmware v1.0 Comments posted by Dimitris Chatzopoulos from Greece, March 03, 2005. Rated this writer 8 of 10. |
