BD-RW BDR-XS07U Won't Rip with Firmware 1.03

[jkinn425]

I bought this drive after having a previous one that worked. (It got Dropped and Broke though) Now I'm getting all kinds of errors like these -


Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:COPY PROTECTION KEY EXCHANGE FAILURE - KEY NOT ESTABLISHED' occurred while issuing SCSI command AD010..080002400 to device 'IoKit:/IOBDServices/5158E794'
and

Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:CANNOT WRITE MEDIUM - INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT' occurred while issuing SCSI command A40..0020..0BF to device 'IoKit:/IOBDServices/5158E794'

I've read some documentation and am confused if I can/ should flash drive, or send it back and get a different one. Any thoughts and help on the subject would be appreciated. Thank You!

Are you trying to rip a UHD disk? If so, the firmware is too new. Pioneer disabled UHD ripping in December of 2022, and all drives built after that won't (currently) work.

Yes as Woodstock said fw to new return it if you can see below for pioneers with old firmware

I just bought one myself from Amazon and turns out it was FW 1.03 so I guess I'll be returning since it can't do any rips for UHD.

Yep, return it. The only way to get a UHD compatible Pioneer is to get one from a seller on this forum or find a Verbatim 43888 that contains a Pioneer BDR-UD04 and not the LG BU40N version.

I really like the look of the BDR-XS07U and my current case does not have space for drives. I'd rather not go back to the larger drive style. Any suggestions on a specific slim drive?

The only UHD compatible slim external drive from Pioneer is the version of the Verbatim 43888 containing a Pioneer BDR-UD04.
