Faster Burning
6x2 writing on BD-R single-layer and dual-layer discs. 4x writing on BD-R triple-layer and quad layer discs.

An eco-friendly drive
• Smaller packaging - saves resources and fuel for transportation.
• Reduced power consumption on external USB drives which allows for eco-friendly USB bus-powered drives.

Smooth Movie Playback
Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes cause Blu-ray and DVD movie playback to stop. When a PowerRead enabled drive is not able to read through obstructed areas of a disc, it will attempt to quickly move forward to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback.

A Smarter Drive
Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode, monitor how they are being used and will adjust their speed automatically - high speed for data transfer and low speed for music or movie playback.\

A Better Music Experience
Scratches and fingerprints on your CDs can cause them to skip. A drive normally makes a calculated guess at the unreadable data and attempts to correct this to match the original music. However this is not 100% accurate. PureRead, when enabled, makes the drive reread the obscured data to extract the original music as accurately as possible.

Wide blank media support
Pioneer strives to have best in class performance over a wide range of media - our drives achieve this for a large variety of BD and DVD media. Refer to the drive's media support list for all supported media and the write speed that can be achieved.
