I have a number of TYG02s I burned on a BenQ 1620 with B7V9 firmware. When I scan them on an 832S they are fine. Same when I scan on the BenQ. When I scan on the 1693 with KS0A, I get PIE errors about 10 times higher.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? First time I saw the scan on my wonderful TY I almost .

I posted the same kind of results with my 451S and 1693 a while back. I get good scans from the BenQ....but not so good from Liteon or NEC. This is ONLY with TYG02 burned in my BenQ. I no longer trust my BenQ scans of it's own burns. I have not seen this anomoly with any other media burned in my BenQ.

My feeling is the BenQ is a little off with it's TY write and read strats....but that's just a guess.

TYG02 burned in the NEC3500, 2500, 3450, LG4163 and 1693 scan fairly consistently in all drives. The LG4163 and 3500 have the best overall scan consistency amongst my scanning drives. I wonder if not being able to scan plays a part......hmmmmm, something to ponder. Makes you think that perhaps scanning deficiencies cause techs to make firmware adjustments that aren't necessarily for the best.

Thanks much. I knew someone else had this problem and it is good to hear it is only with TYG02 (same as what I had found). I guess I'll just avoid that media on the BenQ. I know my BenQ was trash when it came to TYG01 (the only one of my drives) so I guess they just don't like TY -R. Luckily every other drive does.

You're welcome...I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice either (not much response from my earlier post). The disks aren't coasters, just not to the quality standard I like (high PIE's).

My TY (-R) also burns well in all my other drives....I'm still happy with the BenQ, especially with +R media.
