Does everybody elses do the same? I had tons od DVD's on DVD+R and I thought I was assed out with them, regarding copying them. Just wondering

I think any DVD drive and READ + and - but a *05 can only burn -

Yup 105s are supposed to be able to READ + format discs they just can't WRITE to them. It makes sense though since most DVD Players can play DVD+R discs that a DVD Format computer drive should be able to read them.

Not all computer dvd-rom drives read+ though.I just had to switch out a NEW Pioneer 120 for a Liteon 166.The 120 could only read -.The Liteon 166 reads -,+ and ram.Why does Pioneer make a writer that will do +,then not make a reader for it?I have a 7 target dupe,and need a the most compatible reader.

My guess is that Pioneer didn't support the + format until a couple of months ago with the introduction of the 106. They Probably did it to protect the format that they were trying to promote at the time (- format).

i have a pioneer 117 dvd rom that ive had for ages & it read's + & - dvd's no prob's

if the 120 dos'nt id think about taking it back to the shop m8

From Pioneers white sheets,the 119 did not read +R either.It could be they read them,but not always perfectly.I know the spec sheet for the 119 and 120(in front of me) says in BOLD print"does not read DVD+R"!).They may read +RW,as some dvd players read +RW,but not +R. It went back,and the LiteOn went in!
