Sony 16x DVD+R media review - [hardware]
07:25 PM EDT - Jun,06 2006 - post a comment

CDR-Zone posted a review on the Sony 16x DVD+R media:
The Plextor PX-760A Premium under firmware 1.02. although not the fastest of the recording devices for this media under default settings of Auto strategy and Power record enabled, certainly produced one of the most overall pleasing results and is to be considered a recommended drive with the Sony 16x DVD+R media. The added bonus was that the Plextor also offered an above specification transfer speed of 16x.

The Philips DVDR 1660P1 offered a quite slow recording at 16x with its Solidburn technology adding about 20-40 seconds onto the recording but the recording quality is to be considered very good indeed. Philips offer no way to disable Solidburn officially and also recomend having it enabled for best results. Anyone with Nero CD-DVD Speed or QSuite 2.1 installed may find that they can disable Solidburn and achieve recording times closer to 6 minutes with good results on this media but Jitter is slightly higher. Please rememeber to turn it back on again for best results or if changing to a lower/more variable grade of media!

The Pioneer DVR 111D with firmware 1.19 achieved a very good level of recording quality in a very respectable time at 16x and is to be considered a very reliable recording device for the Sony 16x DVD+R media on a consistent basis. All that I may complain about is that Jitter is higher than preferred near the beginning of the recording. It is normal to see Sony media having good by Pioneer and the trend continues here. The NEC ND-4551A also achieved a decent level of quality but potential errors could be lower towards the end and I would hope that newer firmware revisions will address this in future.

The LG GSA-416B did offer an excellent level of quality with low potential Sum1 and jitter but Sum8 could be lower to bring it more inline with some of the other recordings achieved. I would have no issues recording the Sony 16x DVD+R media on the LG and the recording speed was as fast as any of the tested recording devices, but I would hope that LG could further improve the Sum8 levels in future firmware revisions.
