LiteON SOHW-832S Dual DVD±RW Recorder - Page 18

For checking exactly what the SOHW-832S reports, we used different media, burned by other recorders. Three media were measured using the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

Since all LiteON drives report only PI/PIF errors, we will compare those measurements at three reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested SOHW-832S drive. Using other 832S drives can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#3rd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

At the 8X reading speed, the drive reported a rather close PI/PIF error trend line to what SA300 system measured. Of course the values are not the same but we can say it was a good performance.

#3rd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

The 6X reading speed is not recommended, since the reported PI/PIF error rate(s) gives the viewer the impression that the disc is at perfect condition...

#3rd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

The 4X reading speed is not recommended, since the reported PI/PIF error rate(s) gives the viewer the impression that the disc is at perfect condition...
