CD Freaks presents: Pioneer DVR-110 DVD Burner Review

Today, we are proud to present the review of the Pioneer DVR-110 DVD Burner, which Pioneer Europe NV was kind enough to send us for review.  This is their latest "Super Multi" DVD burner, which has identical features to the DVR-110D, but with the addition of being able to write DVD-RAM media.  The Pioneer DVR-110 series is also the world's first DVD burners to support the writing of DVD-R DL media at 8x.

Like the Pioneer DVR-110D, this drive also 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 review and has published her in-depth hardware review.  As usual, this review covers reading, writing and disc quality tests over a wide range of media.  Finally, the review also covers advanced tests such as the "Sheep Test", ability to cope with various copy protected audio CDs and over-burning.

Dee-27Although i had firmware version 1.37 a few days before it was officially released, the review was already completed by this time. However, feel free to request some further media tests with V1.37 in the forum thread associated with the review.

_chef_Thanks again, Dee-27! Ritek R04 would be a candidate.
