Re: Pioneer BDR-XD04 Bluray Drive
...Are you sure the XD04 is getting enough power? Ensure all USB connectors are plugged in (if more than one). Don't use case ports. Use ports direct from the motherboard (if using a desktop PC) or an AC self-powered USB hub of at least 30w. If using a laptop, some USB ports don't provide enough co...

Re: Pioneer BDR-XD04 Bluray Drive
So what is your conclusion? Mine is the laser of the other drive is dead. BTW - the XD07 can be flashed to read UHDs - but you don't seem to be interested. The "laser" in my "doorstop" (I see two lenses in all my ODDs suggesting two lasers, which makes sense since CDs and DVDs u...

Re: Pioneer BDR-XD04 Bluray Drive
What is the obsession with UHD on these forums? I'm not asking about UHD; I only care about DVD and BD. What info are you looking for? I thought I already had?
