Installation and O\cperation
Installation
Your Aleratec 1:4 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS is equipped with an USB 
3.0 port that is a bridge to its three Blu-ray recorders. If your PC does not have an 
USB 3.0 port available you will need to install the PCI Express USB 3.0 host adapter 
(included) before you can use your 1:4 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS. For 
best results we recommend using the host adapter included.

Software Installat\cion
Sim\bltaneo\bs LightS\ccribe Disc Labeling
Please install the Acoustica disc labeling software from the included software CD. For 
best results, Aleratec Duplicator Grade LightScribe Media is recommended. See 
specific information at the back of this Quick Start Guide.
1. Launch the DVD/CD Label Maker from the Acoustica program group in your 
Start menu.
2. When the program first starts, you will be presented with the “new label” wizard. 
Click on the “Cancel” button to close the wizard and you will see the label design 
workspace.
If you have already designed a label you wish to use, select the saved project from 
the “File > Open” dialog box and skip to step 6.
3. To design a new label, choose the appropriate mode from the drop-down box 
shown. “Full Mode” allows you to use the maximum area of the disc for your 
label.
