DVR-115D Series
 
DVD Recordable Drive
Read/write performance  
technologies
The DVR-115D series retain Pioneer’s Disc-Resonance 
Stabiliser technology. It controls the airflow generated by 
disc rotates in order to minimise disc warping, which can 
occur when media rotates at high speed.
As well as Buffer Under Run protection technology, writing 
performance is further advanced by key innovations 
including:
   A Multi-Effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator; it 
operates at high speed – even on Dual Layer/Double 
Layer media types – to ensure precise writing to the 
disc by automatically compensating for discs that are 
warped or of uneven thickness. 
   An Ultra Dynamic Resonance Absorber; this reduces 
the instability and vibrations caused by imbalanced 
or damaged media, maintaining the integrity of the 
recording and playback performance.
   Performance Adjusting Firmware; this optimises the  
disc’s rotation speed depending on the user’s 
application – for example, if watching a movie or 
listening to music, the disc velocity is reduced keeping 
background noise to a minimum.
