Pioneer BD player and BD-R/RE compatibility confusion!

[bferr1]

According to the owner's manual, the player does not support BD-R/RE playback. This, despite the following on Pioneer's own web site:

The Elite® BDP-HD1 Blu-ray Disc® Player is a versatile machine, compatible with most commercially available DVD formats: DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW and +R/RW discs.* If you have an HDMI® input, the player can also upconvert standard DVDs, making everything old "new" again.

But the real reason to own a Blu-ray player is to play Blu-ray Discs! There are three types available. Commercially produced BD-ROM discs hold movies and other content. The recordable and re-recordable versions of the Blu-ray format are called BD-R and BD-RE.

And why this little blurb on the downloadable .PDF product brochure?

Multi-Format Compatibilty: The BDP-HD1 is compatible with BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE, DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW media.
