Greetings all,

I purchased the Pioneer 106d (OEM version of the A06). I got it installed properly. However, I tried inserting a number of brand new Ritek DVD -R 1x discs, none of which would "put the drive in a ready state in NERO". I figured it was just the media. I was able to successfully burn a CD-r at 16x at this point. The drive could also read the CD-r.

I have since tried to access a blank Memorex 4x DVD+R, a written Memorex DVD-R, and even to view bought commercial DVD. All of these media are confirmed to work in other players/drives, but all just leave the drive seeking.

Other Facts:
The firmware is the latest 1.07 from Pioneer
Tried drive as Secondary Slave and Master on 2 different PCs
Drive makes a louder Buzz when trying to access DVD than CD
DVDInfoPro tool reports - Drive not ready with any of the above DVD discs inserted (be it DVD-r +r or commercial disc)

Any Ideas?
