High-Quality Pictures and Sound
Slim Dimension and Low Power Consumption
Block Noise Reduction
Quantization Noise Reduction eliminates the "block noise"—image noise
seen as a tiled pattern in fast-moving scenes, which could be generated
through MPEG compression. You can enjoy detailed, natural images.
10-bit/54MHz DAC for Finely Textured Images
With the Pioneer DVD recorders, video signals undergo the 10-bit/54MHz
oversampling processing. This prevents the degradation of video signals
and suppresses aliasing noise, allowing you to enjoy images that are most
faithful to the original.
Picture Creation
The Picture Creation lets you control the parameters of luminance and color
signals to adjust picture quality of the content when it is recorded. This
means you can control the picture quality of an old videotape by optimizing
parameters when you dub it to a disc.
Other Advanced Features
for Recording High-Quality Pictures
•Pioneer High-Precision Recording Technologies
•TBC (Time Base Corrector) LSI for jitter-free, high-quality image recording
•3D Y/C separation circuit (for NTSC only)
The slim DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S DVD recorders are only 69mm high,
thanks to a renovated internal structure. They easily slip into tight spaces,
such as on your rack or TV cabinet, leaving more space for yourself. The
Pioneer DVD recorders also feature low power consumption. Combined
with the compact size of DVD discs, these dual smart benefits bring a new
dimension to home entertainment.
Industry's First 1-Chip Recorder Engine
The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S come with the
industry's first 1-chip recorder engine, a revolutionary
development from Pioneer in cooperation with a
leading device manufacturer, Renesas Technology
Corporation. Our state-of-the-art technology has
enabled the necessary signal-processing
functions—including high-performance encoding and decoding—to be
driven by a single chip, whereas 11 separate chips were needed for
previous models. This significantly decreases the system noise, enabling
high-quality pictures and a multitude of functions.
WMA (Windows Media
TM
Audio) Compatibility
The DVR-510H-S and DVR-310-S are compatible
with WMA, the latest in compressed digital
audio. It features high-quality sound with
significantly compressed source-file size. Enjoy
your own compilation of songs with high-fidelity sound enabled by this latest
technology.

SRS TruSurround
The Pioneer DVD recorders come with TruSurround, which
lets you enjoy the excitement of real surround sound from two
front speakers.

2-3 Pull-down PureCinema Progressive Scan
On DVD, movies are recorded in 24fps
format. To play back film-originated sources
on TV, therefore, additional frames are
inserted for output in the NTSC format
(30fps). Pioneer's 2-3 Pull-down
PureCinema Progressive Scan Technology
features highly accurate insertion and
reallocation of frames for progressive
scanning. The result: smooth, natural, film-
like images free of bothersome artifacts like
jagged edges on moving objects.
Note: To enjoy the advantages of PureCinema Progressive Scan Technology, your TV must be compatible with
component video formats. The RCA-pin type component video output offers purer colors and finer gradations.
