CD Freaks is proud to present a review of Pioneer's latest DVD burner, the DVR-111, which Pioneer was kind enough to send us for review. This DVD burner has mostly the same read and write features as its predecessor, the DVR-110D, but with some improvements such as better construction and DVD-RAM performance.
Like the Pioneer DVR-110 series, this burner supports writing speeds of 16x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW and 8x DVD±R DL. Our European reviewer, Dee-27 has worked on this in-depth review, which has just been published. Despite offering similar features to the DVR-110 series, this review is still as in-depth as with previous reviews.
