In an interview with Mr Jelmer Veldman, Marketing Supervisor of LiteOn IT Europe, we had the chance to talk about LiteOn's current position at the market and the company's plans regarding the next-generation DVD technologies.

LiteOn's latest release in the DVD Recorder market, the LiteOn SHW 1635S is actually an upgrade of the previously released model, the 1693S DVD-Recorder drive. the 1635S has been upgraded to burn +R9 (+R DL media) at the max available speed of 8X, while it can burn -R DL media at 4X.

The 1693S is the latest drive of the 16XX series from liteon, and it combines the 1673S technology along with DVD-R DL media burning support.

Standalone recorders are currently getting more and more popular and the market is already full of such devices.

The LiteON SOHW-1653S is a fast CD/DVD reader, reporting high reading speeds.
