Try a lower speed instead of MAX (16x)

 

Try better media instead of CMC. Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are recommended.

Nope, the media is:

One of the lesser favorite media types.

 

Your write speed was 6x:

The power calibration error means that your laser can't find a suitable power setting to use to burn the discs.  Normally a drive will switch to a generic burning pattern, but yours could not for these discs.  You might try a drive cleaner, but I would replace the discs with something we recommend here:

Should these work with no problems ever?
