The setting "ISO/UDF" (marked green) usually works in any situation.

Pick the selection "ECC/RS02" (marked red) only if you are sure that the medium contains

RS02 error correction data. Using the error correction (ecc) data
|

will improve scanning results,

<b>"Read attempts" tab.</b> Adjust the reading attempts settings as shown here.

Using larger values causes unnecessary reading activity but will not improve
|
|
the scan.
|
|
The option "Read and analyse raw sectors" (first green marking) uses C2 analysis and possibly
|
|
more raw data reported by the drive for a better assessment of CD media quality. This setting does
|
|
nothing for DVD and BD media, but it is safe to remain activated unless it causes problems
|
|
with your drive reading CDs.
|
|
After a read error no less than 16 sectors should be skipped (second green marking);
|
|
when scanning badly damaged media this setting can be
|
|
<a href="howtos14.html">optimized using larger values</a>.<br>
|
|
Performing multiple read attempts is not recommended during a scan; set the number of retries
|
|
to 1 in the three places marked in orange. Collecting raw sectors should also be off
|
|
during the scan.<p>
