LiteON SOHW-832S Dual DVD±RW Recorder - Page 10

We measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software we used is PleXTools Professional v2.13, and particularly the built-in Q-Check utility. The reader was the Plextor PX-712A (firmware v1.01)

- Summary

The LiteOn SOHW-832S needs to improve its writing quality with CD-R media. With specific media we noticed high C1 and more importantly, C2 errors, while with one disc (Intenso 80min) the produced disc was completely un-recognizable by the Plextor drive. We also noticed that Mam 52X media was burned at 40X with SmartBurn disabled, but the produced disc was very good.
