The discs contain information in their header which tell the burner what
speed they are rated at. It will refuse to burn discs at higher than
their rated speed, and will ignore the speed= parameter.
For the Pioneer 104, there have been released some unofficial "hacked"
firmwares which will allow you to burn any disc at 2x. However, using
these, I was unable to burn any disc at *less* than 2x (speed=1 was
ignored) which of course produced coasters when trying to burn 1x discs,
so I gave up and went back to the official firmware.
However, you have the Pioneer 105, for which I'm not aware of any such
firmware.
