Pioneer DVR-112

The Pioneer DVR-112 is an optical drive that has CD and DVD burning capabilities. It measures approximately 5.8 x 7.1 x 1.7 inches (W x H x D) and weighs roughly 2 pounds.

The DVR-112 is equipped with Performance Adjusting Firmware which automatically adjusts and optimizes the speed of disc rotation according to the application being used. It also has a Multi-Effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator. This allows it to compensate for discs that are warped or of uneven thickness therefore improving its recording and playback capabilities. The Pioneer DVR-112 also features an Ultra-DRA (Dynamic Resonance Absorber) and a Disc-Resonance Stabilizer. The Ultra-DRA suppresses vibration generated by imbalanced discs and the Disc-Resonance Stabilizer minimizes the drive’s disc-warping effect on discs that are used on high speed.

However, it can read and write on a wide variety of other optical media types including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW and dual layer DVD-R and DVD+R. It offers a maximum writing speed of 18x for DVD-R and DVD+R, 6x for DVD-RW, 8x for DVD+RW and 10x for dual-layer discs.

This drive can be mounted both horizontally or vertically. However, 8 centimeter discs cannot be used when the drive is vertically mounted.
