The DVR-110D features the Precision Recording Technology, which utilizes an auto-adjustable writing technique to enable recording under the best conditions for each disc characteristic at all times. This technology, first introduced in the DVR-A06, enables the DVR-110D to achieve optimal initial writing performance and helps to minimize the normal deterioration of re-recordable discs due to repeated writing. As a result, the quality of repeatedly used DVD-RW discs is up to 10 times better than with previous writers.

- Specific application program(s) that support above format(s) required.
- Supported media required for specific DVD & CD writing speeds.
- To perform DVD writing at 12x or 16x speeds, use Pioneer-designated disc media.
As Pioneer suggests "...To achieve the specified writing and reading performance it is important that the DVR-110 is connected to the IDE port via an 80 way ribbon cable and that the IDE port is at least UDMA 66 or above...". Lets now see the drive's main characteristics as given by NeroInfoTool. and DVDInfoPro:
- The Drive
We received our beige coloured drive (the DVR-110D), bulk version with no accompanying bundled software. As Pioneer informs.. "If required a Software Installation CD containing Nero 6.6 OEM Suite 3 is available as an optional extra (NOT FREE) and needs to be requested at the time of purchasing the drive. Be sure to request the official Pioneer software CD (refer image opposite) otherwise you may receive a lesser alternative or no software at all.."
The front of the drive is quite simple, no Pioneer logo (much like the Pioneer DVR-109 model released some months ago).
On the rear you can find the analogue audio output, the IDE selection pins, the IDE connector and the power input. As Pioneer suggests, the use of an 80pin IDE ribbon cable is required to get max performance from the DVR-110D drive.

- Inside view
Now, let us take a look at the interior of the drive, a quick glance under the hood of this OEM release. Don't open the cover of your drive as it will void the warranty. One can clearly discern a NEC-based chipset, also used in the previous model, the DVR-109. The new chip, however, is the next version of the D63641GM (DVR-109), the D63645GM.

- Installation
The device was connected to our test PC and was identified as "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D" under WinXP.
The drive came with firmware version 1.08 installed and since no further releases have been made, this was the one used for this review.
