Writing Quality Tests - 3T Jitter Tests

On this page we present the 3T Pit & Land Jitter graphs when using various media burned at 40X CAV writing speed.

- 3T Pit results

Excellent performance by the TDK 882N at this point. The highest 3T Pit jitter reached was 29nsec, which is far below the Red Book limit (35nsec). Best results were achieved with SKC 52X CD-R media. The 882N looks to be a great quality recorder, just as the ND-2510A was.

- 3T Land results

Again, the average 3T Land results were also low. The maximum 3T Land Jitter reached 32nsec with Maxell 48X media and TY 48X CD-R media produced the best results. Excellent performance from the TDK 882N.

Since CD writing strategies were not changed with the firmware this drive uses, these results were to be expected. According to all the above graphs, the 882N drive produced great results with various media. It should be noted that all discs were recorded at maximum supported speed.
