BenQ DW1600A DL Recorder - Page 22

For checking exactly what the DW1600A DL reports, we used different media, burned with other recorders. These four media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

We used Nero CD/DVD Speed and its disc quality utility. We compared those measurements at various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested BenQ DW1600A DL drive. Using other DW1600A DL drives can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#4nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#4nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#4nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

The tested disc was a Double Layer disc. The reported error level rates are again different from the actual errors reported by the SA300 series, and much higher when the reader was starting to read the second layer. However, they better approach the actual errors. Again, the DW1600A DL is not recommended as a reader for this disc.
