No, I tested it only for the PIONEER BD-RW BDR-207M, the BD-RW BDR-205
sits in an older machine that is not affected, because it has no support
for low power mode. When I first had the problem, I physically moved
the 205 to my newest machine to verify that the 207 drive was not the
cause (erroneously it turns out, BOTH these drives are the cause because
as far as I can determine ALL pioneer optical drives have this
property,as well as optical drives of (some?) other brands).
I then switched these drives back to the original configuration.
After the problem was solved, I did not repeat the test with the 205
(too lazy).
I am convinced though that this will also work with the 205.

Jaap.
