We at
CDFreaks would like to present an exclusive 1st look at the latest
drive from Pioneer - the DVR-110D. At the time this article was written, the
Pioneer DVR-110D was available for sale in Germany '“ meaning we got hold of one
before the official launch.
The Pioneer DVR-110D
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 this is the worlds
first DVD-burner to support the DVD-R9 DL format at 8x.

Now it's time to take a look at
the drive itself:
The front is slight, and has an
eject button, a 'BUSY" LED (green - for read and write - we prefer a different
LED colour though for writing), and an emergency eject hole. The logos located
on the loading tray include a DVD
Forum logo, a DVD Alliance DVD+RW logo,
and a CD-RW Ultra Speed logo.
On top of the drive we found one
sticker, and we can read it was manufactured in China, dated July
2005.
