Have a look at www.firmware-flash.com and for Pioneer burners more
specific at :

        http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=12632&highlight=a05

I flashed my A05 with : DVR-105_v1.30_RPC-1_2xDVD-R_12xRip.exe
Since then i was able to burn my Princo's 1x,2x again. The burned results
show all a smooth surface, with no rings etc.

For your DVR-A04 this might be interesting :
