Pioneer 737

[BobbyBlaze]

hi everybody! (hi Dr. Nick!)

I recently upgraded my pioneer 717 to a 737 model and was chuffed to bits at the obvious increase in picture quality it afforded and also (Brucie Bonus) sound quality too.

I spoke to my local hi fi dealer at the time I bought the machine and he advised me that he had heard the player "wasn't very good at playing DVD-R". I asked him if it would be noticeably inferior to the 717 which had the occaisional problem with the odd disk but nothing a quick re-burn wouldn't sort out and he said that he didn't think so, so I went ahead with my purchase.

Thing is now I've had the player a month or so I can honestly say that it seems to skip or stop playing on a majority of my backed-up disks but if the same disk is taken out and put into the 717 (which I've now found that I've had to keep in addition to the 737) it plays fine. sad.gif

Can anyone advise why this model would be poorer at playing burnt media than it's cheaper cousin and if anyone has had a good rate of success with a particular media?

I am about to purchase a hundred Ritek g-05 which I am hoping would provide a more compatible disk that the prodisk/datawrite jobs I've been using so far (I only purchased these disks as they were the only one's I could find that were full face inkjet printable but it appears Ritek are now offering an equivalent disk)?

Amy ideas/suggestions from 737 owners gratefully appreciated and received. Shame is it's a bloody stonking machine in all other respects biggrin.gif
