Pioneer's exclusive performance-enhancing features allow for high quality recording characteristics.
Liquid Crystal Tilt/Blur Compensator provides accurate, reliable READ/WRITE performance with a variety of disc characteristics using its three capabilities.

TILT COMPENSATOR

If the disc is warped or its thickness is uneven, it cannot form a precise beam spot, preventing accurate writing. With Tilt Compensator it forms a beam spot that is uniform on both sides, achieving accurate writing.

THICKNESS COMPENSATOR

Standard optical pickups optimize writing to single layer discs, therefore it causes spherical aberrations when attempting to write double layer discs. The Liquid Crystal Compensator makes it possible to focus light to a pinpoint regardless of the disc's single or double layer structure, avoiding spherical aberration, allowing for accurate writing.

BLUR COMPENSATOR

Corrects other issues which cause misalignments of the beam spot. The Liquid Crystal compensator is an ideal solution for irregularly curved, thin/thick and double layer discs.

Precision Writing Disc Stabilizer Yes

Disc Vibrant Resonance Stabilizer dedicates for precision writing in high-speed environment.

High-speed disc rotation causes disc warping due to disc resonant vibration, which results in unstable writing quality especially at the outer edge of a disc. With the newly-designed top chassis, air flow caused by the high-speed rotation is utilized to press the disc surface, which prevents three types of resonant vibrations and stablizes the high-speed writing and reading.

Mounting Orientation Horizontal and vertical (+/- 5 Degrees)*
Notes:
* 80mm discs cannot be used when the drive is vertically mounted. The case remains even when an adapter is used.
