Introduction
I don´t understand the following text in this review about the Lite-On LVW-1105HC:
http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/263/11
Positive:
Excellent DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RW recording quality.
Negative:
Disappointing recorded picture quality with both HQ and SP modes.
What do these words mean:
recording quality
and what does these words means:
recorded picture quality
or is the meaning of them the same?
If both words have the same meaning, then there ist the decent recording quality.
In the review stand this:
Decent recording quality in its long play modes.
Allthough, isn´t that Long Play Modus is always not so good as short play or HQ modus?
Why is the record quality from the long play modus in this Lite-On LVW-1105HC even better then the record quality in the HQ or SP modus?
