Pioneer BDR-S13C-X manufactured in January 2023

#1 Post by Ludo91 » Mon Aug 11, 2025 7:31 am

Hi,
I found a brand new Pioneer BDR-S13C-X from a reseller on Aliexpress (all sold out on Asmcom unfortunately), but the manufacturing date is January 2023.
Is there a chance the F/W version can still be 1.03 ?
They sent me a picture of the label from the warehouse, but can't plug the drive to check the version.
Thanks in advance.

Post your Makemkv info. If firmware is equal / newer than 12/2022 you have to wait for a fix by mike.

Thanks for your answer.
I didn't buy it, I was just "eventually considering" doing so, but wanted more information before.
I'll wait for yours. ;-)
