ED16DVDR DL vs. SA300 - Page 1

For checking exactly what the Philips ED16DVDR reports, we used three different media, burned with other writers. The three media have been measured with 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 for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Philips drive. Using other drives, even another F16, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

For all scaning speeds, the trend lines for both PI sum and PIF of the Philips drive, are very close to those of the SA300. In absolute numbers, the PIF values are almost the same while with PI sum there is a large difference.
