Below are the main specs as given by NeroInfoTool and DVDInfoPro:

- The Drive

We received a bulk version of the DVR-111DBK, without any bundled software.

The front design of the drive is just like the previous Pioneer DVR-110D that we had tested a couple of months back, with the only difference that this one is black. So, there is nothing more to comment on with regards to the look since it is a typical Pioneer drive.

- Front panel view

- Rear panel view

- Top view

- Inside view

We do not recommend removing the drive's cover, since this will void the manufacturer's warranty. You can take a look inside the drive with the pictures below. Click on the image below for a larger and more detailed photograph.

Inside the DVR-111DBK, we found a NEC chipset, which was also used in the previous DVR-110D. The new chip, however, is the next version of the D63645GM (DVR-110D), the D63645AGM.

- Installation

The device was connected to our test PC and was identified as the "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D" under WinXP. The drive came with firmware version 1.06 installed, which at the time of the review was the latest available.

Throughout this review, we will see how the Pioneer DVR-111DBK performed against two other latest releases, the Plextor PX-760A and the LiteON SHM-165P65.
