I have a Sansui VRDVD4005, I have had it for many years now and was wondering if you could update any drivers on it, and if so, how do I install them or load them onto the DVD/VCR Combo player?

You can get the manual on the link below.

Good Luck

You are in deep doo doo - I have exact same problem and I have experimented with various drives and it appears that the Sansui's electronics are biased so that they only work with a Pioneer unit.

Try to find out who made that drive for Pioneer and obtain one of their comparable units. Maybe that will work. Finding the drive is impossible!!!!!!!!

I believe it's available on a Sears sponsered website called managemylife.com. I hope this helps you.

I would almost stake my life that the inferred diode is the problem, this has happend to mine in the past I replaced the diode and it has worked for years now.

I believe the VRDVD4005 manual is available on a Sears sponsered website called managemylife.com. I hope this helps you.

Sansui VRDVD4005 will record DVDs provided they are DVD-R NOT DVD+R. I have one of these for 3 going on 4 years and I took it apart and cleaned the dust off the magnetic hub and that worked for awhile but (2-3 months) now I'm having trouble finalizing again. Someone on this site said it needs 8x NOT 16x disks ... 'cause it's an older unit ... I'm checking it out in the users manuel.
