LiteON SOHW-1633S Recorder - Page 13

CDSpeed/PlexTools Scans - Page 1

In order to test the writing quality and readability of the burned media we used two readers with two software applications:

In general, a "perfect" disc should have a smooth reading curve, very low PIE/POE and zero (0) POF error rates. Most times however, even though a disc has very low PIE/POE error rates, the reading curve may not be smooth containing dropoffs. Due to the fact that we overspeed the reading capabilities of the LiteON SOHD-167T, such drops are expected, especially near the outer area of the disc.

The measurements below should be taken not as the absolute criteria of the burning quality, but as an indication level.

16X DVD+R Writing Speed

• CMC 16X DVD+R @ 16X

• MKM 16X DVD+R @ 16X

- Summary

According to Plextools, best results came with MKM 16X media, but the disc was unreadable according to CDSpeed. Judging from the PI/PIF scans we can say that the SOHW-1633S needs improvement at these recording speeds.
