  I found this problem too a while back. I think it is some kind of
  timing problem. If you wait long enough the phase gets itself
  right. It seems your drive isn't quite behaving up to the
  specification. I managed to get my 4x Pioneer going, but only by
  waiting until the phase rights itself before continuing. This is bad
  if it never actaully gets into a valid phase.
