The Pioneer DVR-K05/K15 will indeed record [ * ] + DVDs. The Panasonic (misnamed Matshita on account of certain SNAFUs in naming; should be Matsushita) drive which will record + DVDs is the UJ-845. I have one of these, too. I bought my UJ-845 for $105 from one if the "usual suspects". One which has a hidden "coupon" which is exercisable at "checkout". Otherwise, the drive would have been $120. [ * ] For reasons I don't understand, perhaps "marketing" reasons alone, - media is called writeable/rewriteable, whereas + media is called recordable/rerecordable. I'm not sure there is really that much difference. However, I have noticed that with my set-top DVD recorder, - media does not need to be initialized (and its chapters cannot be edited before finalization), whereas + media MUST be initialized (and its chapters may be edited before finalization, but not afterwards).
