Pioneer DVR-A04 Review

by Melissa J. Perenson

- Pioneer's DVR-A04 makes no major technological leaps over its predecessor, the DVR-A03. But it does feature a few improvements: It ups the DVD-ROM read speed from 4X to 6X, and ups CD-ROM read speed from 16X to 24X.

User Reviews for Pioneer PIONEER DVD/CD RECORDABLE INT ATAPI (Pioneer-DVRA04)

Reviewed by: platini

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Burns great after firmware update, very reliable.

Weaknesses: Very loud, vibration is awful, slow burn rate, and awful software bundle.

Overall Evaluation: When I first bought this recorder, the DVD-R would melt, literally. After updating the firmware, it worked great. My biggest issue, other than the DVD meltdown, is the noise & vibration problem. When the drivfe spins, it would create this vibration that is quite annoying, and adding to it the noise from the spinning of the drive my be quite loud for most ears. I hope that the DVR-A05 would improve on that.

Strengths: This is a great unit! Every DVD has been burnt, AND PLAYS! No Failures.

Weaknesses: Software package was not great........

Overall Evaluation: Had a lot of frustration with various software packages which I purchased to edit, and then burn DVD's (Dazzle, Mainactor, DVDit and other Sonic products). Many problems. Then, two weeks ago I purchased "Pinnacle Studio 8", which is an editing and burning software. Now I am spitting out great DVD's with the A04, with no problems. It is as easy as burning CD's.........
