A drive normally makes a calculated guess at the unreadable data and attempts to correct this to match the original music.

Scratches and fingerprints on your CDs can cause them to skip. Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode, monitor how they are being used and adjust their speed automatically - high speed for data transfer, and low speed for music or movie playback. When a PowerRead enabled drive is not able to read through obstructed areas of a disc, it will attempt to move forward quickly to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback.

Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes cause Blu-ray and DVD movie playback to stop. For movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, the disc is ready faster when compared to previous Pioneer drives. With QuickPlay, the amount of time between inserting a ROM disc, and that disc being ready, has been reduced. Up to 16x writing on BD-R single-layer discs, 14x on BD-R DL discs, and 8x writing on BD-R triple-layer discs. The BDXL format supports BDXL Blu-ray media (including 128GB Quadruple Layer (QL) and 100GB Triple Layer (TL) Blu-ray Disc). Up to 156% more data storage capacity than a 50GB Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc.
