For checking exactly what the Pioneer DVR-111DBK reports, we used three different media, burned with other recorders. 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 at 8X reading speed.

Please note, that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested DVR-111DBK drive. Using other drives, even another DVR-111DBK, can produce totally different results. Beware!

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

From the above graphs, we can see that the scans from the Pioneer and CATS are extremely similar. This is as close as any drive has come to matching the CATS scans.
