BenQ DW1600A DL Recorder - Page 20

For checking exactly what the DW1600A DL reports, we used different media, burned with other recorders. These four media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

We used Nero CD/DVD Speed and its disc quality utility. We compared 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 BenQ DW1600A DL drive. Using other DW1600A DL drives 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

Totally different results were reported from CD/DVD Speed Disc Quality utility and from SA300 series. The use of the DW1600A DL as a reader is not recommended at this point, because it reports the disc to be in perfect shape, giving very good results and low error level rates.
