TEAC DV-W512G Dual DVD±RW Recorder - Page 18

To check exactly what the drive reports when measuring DVD media, we compared the scans of four different media burned on other recorders, with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system. We used three reading speeds, with DVD-R media:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested drive. Using other DV-W512G drives can produce totally different results. Be aware!

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

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

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

With DVD-R media, the drive lowered its maximum reading speed to 8X. The results showed that 4X and 6X gave similar results, while at 8X it was slightly increased. In all cases, we can say that the drive reported similar trend to the CATS.
