Record on DVD At Pioneer you could say that we wrote the book on optical disc technology. It all began way back in 1980 when we introduced the first laser disc player to the market (a full two years before the introduction of the audio CD). In 1996 we bested the competition with the introduction of the first DVD player and now we are proud to announce the launch in the coming months of the home DVD Recorder which boasts twice the video resolution of conventional VHS or S-VHS tapes, high quality digital sound, and a convenient size.
No more rewinding Imagine never having to fast forward or rewind again. With Pioneer’s DVD Recorder those days are gone. Every time a new programme is burned to a DVD-RW disc in "DVD Video Recording" mode, the recorder automatically creates a thumbnail image of the opening scene on an easy-to-use menu page.
