Remarks[edit]
- Other models in the same series:
- Pioneer PDR-04 sold but only from early 1997.
- Pioneer PDR-05
- Pioneer PDR-09
- Predecessor model: none
- Successor model:
- Pioneer PDR-555 RW
- The device has its own remote control, somewhat small, CU-PD075
- Direct selection of tracks only via remote control
- As a CD player, the device was not as praised as as a CD recorder, so the rating in the Hifi magazine AUDIO (see below) is also only "upper class".
First CD recorder ever on the market in the consumer sector (not the professional sector). Analogue recording works manually (until 1998 the only device that could do this). Audio CDRW can not yet be written. Without tuning can be burned as with all devices of this time only audio CD-R (which is still available in 2019, however, in the trade).
