PX-716UF Installation and Users Manual

The FE/TE test result shows maximum writing speed for each disc.
However this maximum writing speed is specific for a particular drive;
you cannot assume this speed applies to any other drive. If your discs
consistently show high rates of focus error or tracking error, you should
probably try a disc from a different vendor.

NOTE

: The TE/FE measurements are accurate only for a blank

recordable DVD or CD. If you attempt to measure a recorded or pre-
recorded, commercially pressed DVD or CD, the measurements have no
meaning.

Making Q-Check Jitter/Beta Measurements

This function reports on the degree of beta and jitter on the CD or DVD
in the Plextor PX-716UF drive. This test is for use on a disc that
contains content—that is, a commercial pressed CD or DVD, or a disc
recorded on a CD or DVD drive.

To measure jitter and beta:

1. Place a pressed or recorded CD or DVD in the PX-716UF.

2. From the PlexTools menu bar, select Q-Check Beta/Jitter Test. You

see the Q-Check window with a graph for beta and jitter.
