27. Summary

For this test (and for all ensuing tests with CD-R media), the CD-R disc was burned to its maximum capacity and at its maximum speed. Then, the same disc is read with the Disc Speed software, and the disc was scanned for digital errors (E31 and E32).

Taiyo Yuden 48x CD-R 80min

The CDSpeed utility does not correctly recognize the disc as you can see in the image below. The specific disc is not a CD-RW but it's a Taiyo Yuden CD-R 80min 48x.

- Writing 48X CAV

Average Writing Speed: 36.98X
Writing time: 02:41 min

- Reading 40X CAV

- Writing Quality - iQB OMNI

Some correctable (E31) digital errors were reported here, which seems to have been corrected at the second layer of error correction, resulting to zero E32 (uncorrectable) errors. Also, the Pit/Land jitter was a little bit increased.
