We measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the maximum supported writing speed of 48X. The software we used is PleXTools Professional v2.24, and more specifically the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-716A (firmware v1.08).

- Summary

According to Plextools, the LG 4167B offers very good quality CD writing. Almost all scanned media reported no C2 errors whatsoever, with only Maxell media reporting a C2 spike near the end. We can now move on to the next page and see what the Clover System CDX scan reports for the same burned media.
