New CD/DVD burner controller from Sanyo

Sanyo has shown its last DVD burner controller, the LC897491. A DVD burner based on this LSI will have the following capacities:
- Burning DVD+R at 12x
- Burning DVD-R at 8x
- Burning DVD±RW at 8x
- Burning CD-R at 52x
- Burning CD-RW at 32x
- Reading DVD at 16x
- Reading CD at 52x
The new LSI has been already used in the upcoming PX-712A/712SA 12x Plextor DVD burners. Pioneer 107 is currently based on a LSI from Nec, the same one found in the Nec DVD Burner 2500D; but Pioneer's burning technology is better.
[Translator notes: A good LSI is important, it contributes to the global performance of a burner, but other parameters are also critical.]
