Writing Quality Tests - 3T Jitter Tests

On an 80min 48X CD-R disc from Taiyo Yuden we burned the same AudioCD project at 4x, 8x, 16x, 20x, 24x, 32x. The 3T Pit & Land Jitter graphs are presented here.

- 3T Pit results

As we can easily conclude from the graphs above and below, the drive gives really low jitter values using 16x, 20x, 24x speeds.

The average 3T Pit Jitter values for all recording speeds are illustrated in the following table.

The average Pit jitter for recording speeds of 24x and over is acceptable, and very good for those below.

- 3T Land results

The jitter land levels illustrated in the graph above, are very good for all speeds . Once again, recording at 16x and above renders high quality recording. Notice that the 4x burning speed did not gave the lowest 3T land jitter.

The following average values graph confirms the very good burning quality of the TDK recorder.

- Summary

TDK 880N is a very good recorder, at least with Taiyo Yuden media. In the following page we test the drive's writing quality with other media brands.
