Hi guys,
Unfortunately for us, Pioneer has made the hard and fast decision to cramp the RITEKF1 MID to 12x locked in descriptors.
As follows, is a dumpout of all the available descriptors/write strategy fields under the 1.37 firmware, on my 110D@A10XLA:

Yeah, I think its unfortunate too. . They have done the same thing with CMCMAGE0.1, which should write @ 8x, but only writes @ 6x, in the DVR-110. They have their reasons, that said.
If you want some good 16x MID's for the drive, I recommend TYG03, MCC004, TTH02...etc.
