Slow Pioneer DVR111D

Hi

My computer : P4-2.4MHz,1024 Ram, Win2000SP4, Pioneer DVR111D burner.
My burner is OK if I burn or read and fast as it is supposed to for these actions.
But initialisation is slow. I’ll explain.
Let’s suppose I want to copy a file from a DVD or CD media with my Pioneer drive, to a C:\ on my hard drive.
I open my file explorer in Windows and put the media in the pioneer tray.
The problem : it takes about 30 seconds or so to wait for the player to finish its recognition sequence before I can begin copying.
Is it normal?
If not is there a solution?
Thanks guys!

That’s maybe a little slow but the 111D isn’t the fastest at disk recognition. Is it any faster without Explorer up & running?

Thanks for replying!

No. It’s the same.
And when I insert a DVD movie, same thing before I can start being able to open it for viewing it.

30 sec is too long, normally its faster.

You have 20 secs.?
Mine is about the same.
…I think I have a false problem!
Thanks

Twenty seconds on mine, too.

Yup, approx. 20 secs.
A DVD-ROM may be faster.
