Pioneer announced today the introduction in Japan of the DVR-RT7H, the company's first combination VHS/ DVD recorder with built-in HDD offering a variety of easy dubbing features among VHS, DVD and HDD.

The Japanese market for DVD recorders has been enjoying rapid growth, and the DVD recorder has become the standard video recording device for the home. Especially, a combination VCR with DVD recorder (including models with a built-in HDD) has captured as much as 40% of the market.

Pioneer's first 3-in-1 combination recorder is equipped with One-button Auto Dubbing feature, which allows easily converting video archives of VHS to DVD . The DVR-RT7H also contains a wealth of other DVD recording features, such as up to 24 hours of continuous recording onto a single-sided Dual Layer DVD -R ( DVD -R DL) disc and a maximum of 100x dubbing (HDD to DVD -R), the fastest in the industry. Thus, this combination VHS/ DVD recorder can fully meet a wide range of customer needs.

The DVR-RT7H will be available in the Japanese market in late June with no retail price suggested.
