Last week a survey at Kakaku.com showed that Blu-ray recorders are still popular in Japan. Now, one week later, Pioneer announces to launch two new Blu-ray recorders in October. The BDR-WD900 has a 1TB hard drive, while the BDR-WD700 is fitted with a 500GB HD.
For now it is assumed that both are Profile 1.1, but maybe Pioneer plans a suprise and equips the two with BD Live. Both models feature H.264 encoding, dual DVB-T tuners and a wizard that optimizes trasfers from the 1TB or 500GB hard drive to a Blu-ray disc.
If you own a Kuro HDTV set this recorder might be the system to add since the Kuro Link-flavored HDMI-CEC realizes smooth integration between the TV, recorder and other Kuro devices.
