Main Features
16x¹ BD-R Writing and BDXL™ Support
Up to 16x¹ writing on BD-R SL discs, 14x on BD-R DL discs, and 8x writing on BD-R TL discs and BDXL support （BD-R XL, Triple Layer 100GB, BD-R XL, Quadruple Layer 128GB、BD-RE XL, Triple Layer 100GB). Up to 16x writing on BD-R single-layer discs, 14x on BD-R DL discs, and 8x on BD-R triple-layer discs.
A better music experience with PureRead 3+ featuring unique algorithms.
When read errors caused by scratches or fingerprints occur when importing (ripping) audio CDs, this function allows for automatic detection of the disc state, adjustment of the read method using an original algorithm, and re-reading the disc, which minimises error data interpolation.
Compatible with high-speed M-DISC writing for long-term data archiving.
This product, developed by US-based Millenniata Inc., is compatible with M-DISC optical media for archiving. It now supports 6x writing on M-DISC (BD) SL and M-DISC (DVD).
A front design that combines functionality and a brilliant design
The Pioneer BDR-S13EBK has an improved front design that combines functionality and a brilliant design. The simplistic flat design uses blue LED lighting and a hairline finish that creates a contrasting texture. The drive has been enhanced and designed to reduce the deterioration of the reading performance of the disc due to dust and cigarette smoke with high dustproof design performance and improved drive software.
Unique honeycomb construction and cooling structure
The BDR-S13EBK has a unique honeycomb construction and cooling structure. This product features a unique honeycomb structure that increases the rigidity of the housing and minimises unnecessary vibration. It also commutes airflow generated within the housing by the rotation of the disc, circulating it effectively to alleviate the temperature increase in the pickup and disc surface that occurs when the disc is rotated for extended periods or at high speed.
Equipped with Pioneer's Optimal Write Strategy Prediction Algorithm, which provides stable writing even on discs for which the drive does not have a set write strategy
- The drive automatically predicts the optimal write strategy even on discs for which the drive does not have a set write strategy. The function provides more stable writing. (Note: *XL media (TL / QL) is not supported. Additionally, obtaining satisfactory writing quality may not be possible for some discs. *A write strategy is a set of parameters that enables an optical disc drive to write on a specific type of blank media according to its optimum specifications.)
- The custom Eco function helps reduce the drive's power consumption. Suppose the drive receives no commands (instructions for operation) from the PC for a specified period. In that case, this function will reduce the drive's power consumption by stopping the disc from rotating or reducing the disc rotation speed. Shortening this specified period will make the drive enter the power-saving Mode earlier. *This function can be used if the Drive Utility is downloaded and installed.
- Disc Resonance Stabilizer utilises airflow from disc rotation to reduce disc vibration and increase writing accuracy. High-speed disc rotation causes disc warping due to resonant vibration, which results in unstable writing quality, especially in the outer areas. The Disc Resonance Stabilizer, a projection designed on the top chassis, reduces such errors. By narrowing the interspace between the disc and the top panel, the airflow caused by the high rotation presses and prevents the disc from warping, thereby reducing reading and writing errors. With this feature, it is stable.
- Equipped with an Easy Setting function, you can set one of four modes according to the intended use.
Entertainment Mode is suitable for enjoying movies and music. It enhances quietness when playing back BD/DVD or music CDs.
High-Performance Mode: which emphasises reading and writing speed.
Quality Mode: this emphasises reading and writing quality.
Eco Mode: which reduces maximum power consumption.
PowerRead™
- PowerRead™ allows smooth playback of dirty or scratched BD/DVDs. Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes cause Blu-ray and DVD movie playback to stop. When a PowerRead-enabled drive cannot read through obstructed areas of a disc, it will attempt to move forward quickly to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback.
- The belt used for the tray loading part has been improved to reduce the effect of dust and dirt on the tray loading operation. In our test, resistance to the impact of dust and dirt on tray loading is about 1.8 times that of the previous model.
Included Accessories:
- The owner's manual (including the application product key and warranty information. Quick start guide (including application product key).
Free bonus software is provided, which requires an application download key. The product key is provided with the optical drive. The following software is available with the product key:
- Includes Bonus Software PowerDVD 14, Power2Go11®, PowerDirector19 DE, Instant Burn5, Label Print2.5, PhotoDirector10 LE, ColorDirector5 LE & AudioDirector7 LE.
