Hi Coopervid,

Thank very much, now showing S11 can't ask for more.

The only issue I have can't get the utility software to work it just say's
"Drive not Connected"

Any ideas currently trying to use PioneerBDDriveUtility_BDR-211 which peace of software should I be using.

Thank you again
Coopervid

You need to look for the S11 version. The 211 version doesn‘t work with it. Most adjustments can also be done with the flasher.

Don't know. But don't use any of the burn features. They just make all burns worse. I would categorize them as "bullshit features".

Excuse me, Coopervid.
But is there a way to change the firmware of my BDR 209DBK back to the original one so I can flash into the S11 firmware you sent me or should I be fine with the BDR-211UBK firmware that I am already on? Just wondering.

Why would you want to do that?
