DVD Recordable Drive
Pioneer’s Versatile 20X DVD Writer
Pioneer’s new DVR-115D series of dual-format drives integrate a wide range of technologies
to optimise DVD writing. The DVR-115D series also sets new performance benchmarks by
writing at 20X 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 / +R DL). The product offers 5X reading
speed for DVD-RAM and also the surety of the Pioneer brand, delivering high read/write
accuracy and stability.

Read/write performance
technologies
The DVR-115D series retain Pioneer’s Disc-Resonance
Stabiliser technology. It controls the airflow generated by
disc rotates in order to minimise disc warping, which can
occur when media rotates at high speed.
As well as Buffer Under Run protection technology, writing
performance is further advanced by key innovations
including:
A Multi-Effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator; it
operates at high speed – even on Dual Layer/Double
Layer media types – to ensure precise writing to the
disc by automatically compensating for discs that are
warped or of uneven thickness.
An Ultra Dynamic Resonance Absorber; this reduces
the instability and vibrations caused by imbalanced
or damaged media, maintaining the integrity of the
recording and playback performance.
Performance Adjusting Firmware; this optimises the
disc’s rotation speed depending on the user’s
application – for example, if watching a movie or
listening to music, the disc velocity is reduced keeping
background noise to a minimum.
