Pioneer PDR-05, sold but starting at the end of 1995
previous model: none (if the PDR-05, by the end of 1995, appeared as a device of the same type
successor model: Pioneer PDR-555W
considered) technically, the Pioneer PDR-04 is based on its large and more expensive brother, the PDR-05, which was, however, significantly more expensive and better equipment
had The device has its own remote control, slightly larger and easier to handle than the PDR-05: Pioneer CU-PD083
direct selection of subtitles only on the remote control
As a CD Player was not praised the device as well as a CD Recorder, and therefore the classification in the Hi - Fi magazine AUDIO (see below), is only "top class".
Second CD recorder ever in the consumer class (not professional range) on the market, first device under 2,000 DM.
The analog recording is only possible with an automatic control, not manually
No audio CDRW can be written yet
As with all devices of this time, only audio CDR can be burned without tuning (which are still available in stores in 2019)
Unlike the PDR-05, the device has no sample rate converter. Digital sources such as DAT and best. Radio types cannot be recorded digitally in this way

Stereoplay 3/1997: Highlight, top class, very good (even before PDR-05), sound rating 25 points (from mid-1998 50 points), price / performance very good. "Unrivaled inexpensive CD recorder. Recordings made via digital input sound outstanding." (Stereoplay 3/1997, p.53)
AUDIO 5/1997: Good, upper class. Sound 75 points (Analog 75 p./ digital 75 p.)
STEREO 3/1997: Stereo test rating: Very good, 2 stars. "It costs 1000 marks less than the PDR-05 and is still quite sufficient for many applications: for example, for copying CDs and compiling your own samplers. However, this is only on a digital level, for analog recordings another good digital recorder or the big brother is recommended." (Stereo 3/1997, p.43)
