LITEON LTR-52246 needs long time prior burning starts - Club CDFreaks

mahaold · 30-07-2003

Just got my new LITEON out of the pack and installed it.

After this, according to XP no CD/DVD-drives in my PC any more. Fixed, seems to be OK now, both drives back again.

Started to try to burn CD’s:

1st try: NERO: the drive started, the write graph went up to 4% and got stuck and the burner made noise like a dragster pre-start: motor up-down-up-down. I switched PC off...

After restart, I checked the CDR with NERO: it was not touched at all, totally blank!

2nd try: VCDEasy: quite the same as above.

After this, I tried once again with NERO, but this time I left the drive alone with its dragster-behaviour: AFTER 1,5 minutes it really started writing! Incredible! I repeated it with different speeds, always the same: about 1,5 minutes noise prior to start writing.

My question: IS THIS REALLY AS IT SHOULD BE? And if not, does anybody knows why?

System:
WIN XP SP1
256 MB RAM
SAMSUNG 120 GB HD
PIONEER DVD 116
LITEON LTR-52246S
MEDIUM USED: TDK 48x

Could you post the ATIP info of the Media.

NOTE: ATIP info can be displayed in Nero CD Speed.

mahaold · 30-07-2003

Manufacturer : Ritek
Code : 97m15s17f
Disc Type : CD-R
Usage : General
Recording Layer : Dye Type 7: Short Strategy (Phthalocyanine)
Recording Speed : n/a
Capacity : 79:59.70
703 MB
Additional Capacity : n/a
Overburn Capacity : not tested

-------------------------------

In addition, took NERO CD Speed to test the speed:

18:10:52 Starting write transfer test
18:13:08 Error - write error (030C00)
18:13:11 Starting... (NOT changed the CDR!)
SUCCESS! 2:28 min and 79:59:70 length!

So, what is it, I don't know! Thing back to dealer is the best...

*Chriso* · 30-07-2003

It definately isnt the media (the newer riteks are very good). Is DMA enabled for the drive? If not enable it.

mahaold · 30-07-2003

YES, DMA WAS ACTIVE ALL THE TIME.

AND AS YOU SAID; COULD NOT BE THE DISC ITSELF AS THEY WERE BURNT 52x (AS PER PACK THEY ARE 48x) - WHEN IT WAS FINALLY WORKING.

I AM REALLY GOING MAD WITH THIS DRIVE!!!

I think youre liteon is broken. It seems to me that there is somethign seriously wrong with the engine of the cd-spinner. My advice is to go back to the shop where you purchased it, and let them have a look at your drive.

Yeah, think you are right...

Nozz · 21-09-2003

Hey mahaold

I have same prob with my Burner, was just wondering if you found out what was wrong with yours?

mahaold · 21-09-2003

Yes. I returned it to the dealer. Must have been calibration unit.
