I'm not familiar with Pioneer, but I also notice that erasing the disc
on the computer (quick or full using any of InCD Erase, Plextor
utility, Nero Burning ROM) does not make it look new to the
stand-alone recorder.
It's not a big problem on my Philips (DVDR70) because it gives me the
option to quickly erase the disc with "unknown data" when I put it in.
What you should look for is a manual erase function.
On the Philips it is done by having the tray open and keep pressing
the "Clear" button on the remote for 10 seconds.
I guess you have tried the manual Initialize command under "Disc
Setup".
