Equally of course, if the pits come out too small or too light, then other reading errors can occur. If a CD-R drive has no way of controlling the burn process, to adapt itself to the nature of the media, then the use of such sub-standard discs is far more likely to result in defective recordings and, more importantly, severe End-user disappointment.
- Page 4 The heart of the Philips solution is a new hardware and firmware built into the drive with the TBW algorithm which evaluates the disc and determines the burn parameters.
- Page 5 The advantage is real Extensive development and testing of the TBW and Self Learning features was done in the Philips Research Laboratory in the Netherlands, and Philips Development Centre in Belgium. The testing is ongoing, and covers most CD-R media currently available on the market, and has demonstrated the real advantage of Philips solution.
