Pioneer Introduces New Internal DVD Multi Writers
Pioneer Japan officially announced today its new internal DVD multi writers with ATAPI interface for Windows-based PCs - the DVR-A11-J (pure white), DVR-A11-JBK (black), and DVR-A11-JSV (silver).
The new DVD drives, employing the company's newly-designed Disc-Resonance Stabilizer. The system controls the airflow generated by disc rotation to minimize disc warp which can be caused by disc resonance during high-speed rotation. The new disc tray with airflow adjustment holes also helps suppress disc resonance. As a result of such structural improvements, the new drives provide users higher accuracy and stability in read and write with quiet operation even in high-speed modes.
Pioneer's new DVD drives support the recording and playback of recordable discs in seven DVD formats (DVD-R, Dual Layer DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+R Double Layer, and DVD+RW), DVD-RAM (Version 2.0 and 2.1 non-cartridge type)) as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs. The new drives are offering 8x recording on single-sided double-layer DVD formats (Dual Layer DVD-R and DVD+R Double Layer).
Adopting the CAV recording system for 16x high-speed recording to DVD-R and +R discs, Pioneer's drives have achieved a faster transfer rate than before. The new drives are capable of recording at up to 32x speed on CD-RW discs, up to 6x speed on DVD-RW, and up to 40x speed on CD-R discs. In addition, the automatic write speed selecting function optimizes the write speed depending on discs' conditions, to keep the stability and reliability in high-speed recording.
The new drives will come bundled with an extensive collection of software applications for DVD/CD authoring, DVD slide show creation, data backups, and so on.
The DVR-A11-J series will be available in Japan early in March 2006. The drive will be available in the European market as OEM/bulk versions (DVR-111/11D series), which means that they will come as bare drives only with no retail box and software.
