Key features DVR-212DBK
  • Writes and reads DVD-R/RW, +R/RW and CD-R/RW formats. Read-only feature for DVD-RAM*1
    		•
  • Buffer under-run protection for CD/DVD
  • Performance Adjusting Firmware: automatically optimises the disc’s rotation speed depending on the user’s application – for example, if watching a movie or listening to music, the disc velocity is reduced in order to keep background noise to a minimum.
  • Multi-effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator - further improves recording and playback characteristics by compensating for discs that are warped or of uneven thickness (operates at high speeds and with Dual/Double layer discs
  • Ultra-DRA (Dynamic Rosonance Absober) - suppresses vibration caused by imbalanced discs.
  • Disc-Resonance Stabiliser - controls the airflow generated by the disc-rotation to minimise disc-warping effect that can occur when a disc rotates at high speed.
  • Max. 18x writing speed for DVD-R/+R
  • Max. 10x writing speed for DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) and +R DL (Double Layer) Discs
