Memorex D² External Recorder- Page 18

For checking exactly what the Memorex D² External reports, we used three different media burned with other recorders. The media have been measured using the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

The drive is capable of reporting PI/PIF errors, so we will compare 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 Memorex F16 drive. Using other drives, even another F16, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#2nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#2nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#2nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

The PIF error trend line as reported by the D² External recorder shows the same behavior as the SA300 system but again the levels differ. In most cases, the Memorex drive is reporting better results than the SA300 system shows, leading users to believe that the media is in top shape when in fact, that may not be the case.
