Pioneer Electronics said Tuesday that its DVD-rewritable drives overheat when recording on certain high-speed disks.
Representatives from Pioneer Electronics USA, based in Long Beach, Calif., said that writing to blank 4x DVD-R and 2x DVD-RW discs can cause its DVD-rewritable PC drives and DVD recorders to freeze.

If the drives or recorders remain frozen for longer than five minutes, the optical lens, which writes to the discs, can overheat and render the hardware inoperable.

btw. this issue will not affect most A03/A04 users ....
cause this bug affects only users of high speed media ... and why should anybody use high speed media (which allows u to burn at 4x but only with A05 or Sony ?! )
so no need for an instant upgrade :)
btw. the 4x certified "high speed DVD-Rs" aren´t available ...yet ..
