I burn DVD-Rs with my A03, but when played back on the pioneer unit, they have constant lockups (with or without labels.) When played on my sony set-top, the DVD-R locks up in different places. Lastly when played on my X-BOX, there are no lock ups anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks much...

What brand of media do you use? I have problems with almost every type of media except Pioneer or Apple (pioneer with apple packaging). They seem to work fine in both of my players. I have a panasonic and a Malata (asian import) players. The Panasonic is pickier than the Malata.

Well i checked my disks and its all around the same exact spot on all my discs... towards the end of the disk little over 3/4th of the disc, i might be wrong in saying but, around 124k-125k sectors?
