For checking exactly what the SHW-1635S 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 LiteON SHW-1635S drive. Using other drives, even another SHW-1635S, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

The trend line reported by the 1635S follows the CATS trend line.
