Hi All,
Alternative Forums Say That You Need "V-Tools" A Factory Maintenance Software For Doing The Same .I Managed To Get a Copy of the Same To Tryout .the Issue Is that We Also Need Specific Burnscripts .Which Are Specific To The Model/Disc And Head.Can Someone share the Burnscripts .Are these Same As ACE .Ace Only Has Burn Code ,Main Code, Downsize code .Very Confusing ....Help ?

For victor family dosent need Specific Burnscripts, you can disable bad head use vtool, but after done that you must open cover then cut head 0. if disable another head dosent need cut only head 0.

Hi wawalab,
I think you are wrong here i am not saying the cutter trick or anything.Indeed the victor has specific burnscripts and that also for specific heads and also for specific head numbers .Please Pm me i can send you a document for the same .
