Robust, Light Mechanism
The Pioneer uses a twin printed coil actuator on pick up which allows
for lightweight optical pick up, high maneuverability and low power
consumption. Temperature sensors control the laser and automatically
stops the writing procedure momentarily if the drive gets too hot.
This maintains a high media write quality and prevents the writing
os coasters. The Stepping motor allos for highly accurate and reliable
seld drive operation with quiet seek operation. this is the perfect
laptop drive, quiet, efficient and reliable.
Precision Recording Technology
Smart Laser Driver: Write strategy control circuitry positioned
in close proximity to the writing laser limits signal delay, allowing
high quality recording at high speed. Liquid Crystal Tilt / Thickness Compensator: Provides accurate,
reliable read / write performance with a variety of disc characteristics,
even with irregularly curved or thick / thin media. This technology
is also rffective in recording DVD+R double layer media.
