Hi everyone,
Pioneer recommends:
Ver. 1.1, Ver. 1.1/2X and Ver. 1.2 4X DVD-RW media
Ver. 2.0 and Ver. 2.0/4X/8X DVD-R media
to be used with its 520H DVD recorder.
How can you tell if it is a Version 1.1, Version 1.2 or Version 2.0 about the media used? I never see which version on the media I buy or on the box they come in. All I can see is if it is a 1X, 2X, 4x etc...
Recently, I damaged my beloved Sharp RSW2U DVD recorder (maybe beyond repair) by using 1X-2X DVD-RW media, as the 1X DVD-RW cannot be found anymore.

These 1X media are no longer available. I imported the deck from NY as Sharp Canada had no DVD recorders on the market less than a year ago.
Curiously the deck box had a Sharp Canada address. Maybe they wanted to get rid of these 1X decks as the 2X were already on the horizon. I think it was easier for them to sell them in the US.
The 1X-2X DVD-RW conflicted with a bug that was in the Pioneer decks (as Memorex explained).
Now that I am considering the Pioneer 520H, I am disappointed because it sold for $659.95 (CAN) in November '04, $699.95 in December and now in January '05 $799.95. How about that!
Have a happy new year,

As mentioned earlier, contact Sharp for an upgrade/repair. If they give you a run-around, ask to speak to their supervisor/manager. I've got a free repair for my DVD player which was almost 3 yrs out of warranty because of a defective component. Good luck. -
