Review: Pioneer DVR-110 Reviewed by: Dee-27 Provided by: Pioneer Europe NV Firmware: 1.22 Manufactured: August 2005 |
Pioneer
Europe NV was kind enough to send us their latest 'Super Multi" DVD Burner, the
DVR-110 for review. The Pioneer brand has become synonymous with quality
products, and we will be putting the DVR-110 through is paces in this review.
The Pioneer
DVR-110 supports 16x DVD±R, 8x
DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW and 8x DVD±R DL writing
technology, allowing Double/Dual Layer discs of 8.5Gb to be
written. So far the Pioneer 110 series burners are the worlds first
DVD-burners to support the DVD-R9 DL format at 8x. New on the DVR-110 is DVD-RAM
writing at up to 5x.

What's
inside the box?
On this page
we will take a look at what the drive came shipped with and take a look at the
drive and its technology.
The drive
supplied was the OEM version, and as we can see, we were supplied with a bare
drive and instruction booklet.
Now it's time
to take a look at the drive itself:
The bezel of
the Pioneer DVR-110 is plain but attractive. On the tray we can see the 'MULTI
RECORDER" logo, and we can also see an emergency eject hole, a single green
coloured LED for read and write (we prefer a different led colour though for
writing) and an eject button.
Top
Bottom
On the top of
the drive we found one label, and we can see that the drive was made in Japan,
dated August 2005.
On the rear of
the drive starting from the left, we can see a diagnostics connector; analogue
audio connector; jumpers for cable select, slave, and master; IDE connector, and
finally the power connector.
But let us continue
this review and see how it really performs.
On the next page we
will take a look at the test machine, the software, and the drive
features…………
