39. Conclusion
In the following tests, we check the drive's behavior when reading scratched / defective audio discs. The test discs used were the ABEX series from ALMEDIO.
- ABEX TCD-721R
Errors total | Num: 746128 | ||
Errors (Loudness) dB(A) | Num:39347 | Avg: -73.4 dB(A) | Max: -23.9 dB(A) |
Error Muting Samples | Num:2439 | Avg: 1.0 Samples | Max: 9 Samples |
Skips Samples | Num: 0 | Avg: 1.0 Samples | Max: 0 Samples |
Total Test Result | 77.3 points (of 100.0 maximum) |
This is a very satisfactory result for the specific test. The overall error count is relatively low, and most importantly there were no skipped samples.
- ABEX TCD-726
Errors total | Num: 0 | ||
Errors (Loudness) dB(A) | Num:36 | Avg: -34.4 dB(A) | Max :-25.9 dB(A) |
Error Muting Samples | Num: 0 | Avg: 0 Samples | Max: 0 Samples |
Skips Samples | Num: 4 | Avg: 297.0 Samples | Max: 342 Samples |
Total Test Result | 78.7 points (out of 100.0 maximum) |
This was not as good as we would have expected. There are skipped samples and the Test Result Score of 78.7 is quite low.
- CD-Check Audio Test Disc
The CD-Check Test Disc is a very useful tool for evaluating the Sound Reproduction / Error correction capabilities of a CD player. The disc offers a signal combination with disc error patterns to rate the drive's abilities to read music and reproduce it completely. Five tracks on the disc contain a sequence of progressively more difficult tests. These tracks are referred to as Check Level-1 through Check Level-5.
The tracks are reproduced through a software multimedia player (e.g. Windows Media Player). Each level is considered as passed, if the tone is smooth, continuous without interruptions, skipping or looping. The higher the Check Level passed, the more reliable the sound reproduction of the tested drive.

The drive achieved flawless reading with the first 3 tracks. Playing the fourth and fifth track produced audible interruptions in the sound as well as clicks.
- Summary
Overall, the drive appears to have average CD Error correction capabilities.
