BenQ DW1600A DL Recorder - Page 10

We measured the C1 / C2 error rate of the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software used was PleXTools Professional v2.13, and particularly the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-712A (firmware v1.02). All media was burned with B5C9 firmware.

- Summary

The DW1600A produced good quality burns with some exceptions. C2 errors were reported with BenQ, Intenso, Traxdata and Verbatim media, but always at low levels. Of course, C2 errors can be corrected but a good burn shouldn't produce them in the first place.
