Like this (from a FW ext. DVR-109):
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109:
Firmware Revision: 1.58
Interconnect: FireWire
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO

A burned and finalized DVD+R disc from a 'set top box' should read as a DVD-ROM, IF said box properly performs the bit-setting. I know my Lite-On 5005 does it fine.
