SOHW-1653S vs. SA300 - Page 3

For checking exactly what the SOHW-1653S 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 for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested LiteON SOHW-1653S drive. Using other drives, even another SOHW-1653S, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

In all the above graphs, you can see that the LiteON SOHW-1653S drive reports totally different results than those of the SA300S. The drive produces misleading results regarding the written media quality.
