September 3rd 2003 Pioneer Introduces New DVD Recorders with Built-in HDD
In Japan, Pioneer will introduce four new models in October and November, 2003. In the light of the expanding DVD recorder market, Pioneer expects that this fiscal year's Japanese market will top the 2-million-unit mark. Of the various types available, DVD recorders with a built-in HDD are attracting the most attention, and now account for about 60% on a unit basis in Japan. This clearly demonstrates that this type of DVD recorder is the leading product in this rapidly growing market. Pioneer plans to introduce the DVR-510H-S in early October, and the DVR-515H-S in late-October, and the DVR-710H-S and DVR-610H-S in mid-November, targeting the monthly sales of 40,000 units, 30,000 units, 20,000 units, and 10,000 units, respectively, with no suggested retail prices in Japan. Pioneer's new DVD recorders are capable of high-speed dubbing at the recording speed of up to 24X*1. They also have the ability to record programs onto the HDD or play back the programs stored on the HDD even while high-speed dubbing is in progress. Thus, the users will enjoy easier and quicker dubbing at any time during recording. Plus, to meet various needs from the customers, these new products incorporate many original features, like "Disc Backup," utilizing the high-speed dubbing technology. Of course, programs recorded or dubbed on the discs by these DVD recorders can be reproduced by many existing DVD players. It's because Pioneer's DVD recorders conform to the DVD-R and DVD-RW formats. With the lineup of five models - four new models plus the DVR-310-S recently launched on the market - Pioneer intends to further expand its market share and become the market leader in Japan. |
