Pioneer DVD Warning

If you have a Pioneer DVD burner, you'd better read this article:

Glad I saw this before the new faster media came out

Bump in case you missed the warning about Pioneer DVD burners having the potential to burn up if you use the new, faster media that will be available soon.

Sure does. The problem is most people, unless they read about this somewhere, will not know until it is too late.

What's disconcerting about this is that Pioneer is a highly rated drive. I've been considering buying one myself.

I guess Pioneer will replace the units but how much other damage will they do to the system in addition to destroying themselves?

Pioneer DVD Burner IS A Fire Hazard

Hello:

I posted this in multimedia but it is getting very few reads probably due to the title. I'm reposting it here because I feel this is a danger that needs to be publicized.

If you have a Pioneer DVD burner, you'd better read this article:
