Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility
Just want to add another recommendation for Billy! I used his automated flasher on my Pioneer drive and the process couldn't have been easier. Literally took just a minute and my drive was fully enabled. If you need your drive sorted out, he's the guy to go to. Thanks again!
