Pioneer DVR-A06 DVD±RW recorder - Page 6

Protected Disc Tests

- PSX Pressed Media

For this test we used the PSX game 'NBA Jam Extreme' and we ripped the image to the HD using Alcohol 120%. Pioneer DVR-A06 finished the task very fast in 1:06min. The Sony drive follows closely at 1:28min, and the Optorite DD0203 is the slowest reader in the test with 3:08min.

- SafeDisc v.2 Results

Pioneer DVR-A06 is not a very fast reader with SafeDisc v2 protected titles. The drive needed almost 1 hour in order to get the image on the HD, for both pressed and CD-R discs. The Optorite drive was also slow while the Sony DRX-500UL performed better.

- SecuROM Results

Pioneer DVR-A06 supports reading of Subchannel Data for both audio and data tracks. The drive is not the fastest reader you can find for SecuROM protected titles, although actually we are talking about a three-minute process, at least on this particular title. Sony DRX-500UL is slightly slower, and Optorite DD0203 follows with a 1084.44 sectors/sec reading rate.

- Protected Discs Writing Tests

Pioneer DVR-A06 supports the DAO-RAW writing mode. For checking the drive's EFM correction status, we used 3 different game titles, each one utilizing a different SafeDisc 2 version, with the latest software patches installed. We used the drive as reader/writer at a maximum reading/recording speed. The software we used is Alcohol 120%, and we burned 2 discs/title with the Bypass EFM Error function enabled / disabled.

The produced backups with Alcohol 120% partially worked to the drives we tested. For all the Safedisc builds, the "Bypass EFM Error" feature determined the final result. Protections up to v2.60 worked without software support to Pioneer DVR-A06, Plextor Premium and all the LiteOn drives we tested. Older CD-ROM drives such as Creative CD5233E did not manage to play the disc. It is very interesting that the drive also produced working SafeDisc v2.80 backups through the software assistance of Alcohol 120%, but again, in Pioneer drive itself and other selected players.
