Pioneer DVR-112 accelerates to 18x

Pioneer is expanding their famous DVD recorder product line with two new models, DVR-112 and DVR-112D. Like in the previous models, the 112 and 112D models are identical, but the D-model lacks DVD-RAM format support. Recording speeds are impressive on all formats, and boast a market leading 12X speed for the DVD-RAM format (DVR-112). We here at BitBurners have been using Pioneer recorders in our test lab for a couple of years, and can’t wait to get our hands on this new one. Especially the previous DVR-111 has proven to be a very good recorder and we expect the 112 to continue this trend.

Pioneer Europe today announces the availability of two new internal DVD writers. The DVR-112 multi-format drive and, the DVR-112D dual-format drive, integrate a wide range of technologies to optimise DVD writing. The speedy siblings also set new performance benchmarks by writing at 18X speed to write once DVD media (DVD-R and +R) and 10X speed to write once Dual Layer / Double Layer (DL) media (DVD-R DL and +R DL). The products also offer the surety of the Pioneer brand, delivering high read/write accuracy and stability.

The DVR-112 multi-format drive writes at 18X speed on DVD-R and +R, 10X on DVD-R DL and +R DL, 6X on DVD-RW and 8X on +RW. Its write speed for DVD-RAM media is an industry-leading 12X, whilst CD-R and CD-RW media are catered for at 40X and 32X speeds respectively. The DVR-112D dual-format drive provides identical write performance to the DVR-112 multi-format drive, but excludes DVD-RAM writing support, thus enabling consumers to select a DVD writer which is best-suited to their exact storage needs.

The high write speed of 18X is achieved with DVD-R and +R discs through the adoption of the CAV recording system, while Pioneer’s proprietary technologies ensure the disc has been recorded accurately and efficiently.
