    Disadvantage:
     ▪The loading time may have an impact on overall duplication time for small 
    duplication jobs.
     ▪The Master Disc will be loaded to the reserve partition in the Hard Drive 
    temporarily until a new master is loaded and overrides the previous image. 
    In comparing this duplication mode with the traditional “Duplication from 
    Hard Drive” process, it offers the user more simplicity. By selecting the 
    “Load and Copy” mode via one simple touch, all the necessary tasks will 
    be automated for you and loaded on to the “Reserved” partition. You can 
    rename the data on the “Reserved” partition and place it in a standard 
    partition if you wish to keep it. (This must be done prior to loading a new 
    master through “Load and Copy)”.
    By default, the duplication mode is set to “Auto”. This will prompt you to choose 
    between one of the duplication modes when you enter any of the following 
    functions: “Copy”, “Test”, “Test + Copy”, and “Copy + Compare”.
    However, if you prefer not to be prompted each time, you can always go to “14. 
    Setup” and select sub-menu 9 and manually reset it. To do so, preform the following 
    steps:
    1. Turn on the duplicator. After the bootup is complete, you will see the following 
    display:
    2. Press the UP or DOWN button consecutively until you see following display:
    3. Press ENT button once. You will see the following display:

    Using AUTOCOPY
    The “Autocopy” function allows you to copy from Disc to Disc automatically 
    without pressing any keys. It is the simplest way to make BD/CD/DVD copies.  
    The following tutorial will show you how to use this feature.
    1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow button to navigate to the following screen.
    2. Press the ENT button to enter the “Autocopy” mode. You will see the following 
    display:
    3. Insert your Master Disc into the top Reader Tray and your blank discs into 
    corresponding Writer Trays. Close the trays after you load the discs. (You can 
    automatically close all trays by pressing ENT when the display shows “Waiting 
    for Blanks”.)
    4. Allow 5-10 seconds for the duplicator to detect your Master Disc and Blank 
    Discs. After all the discs are recognized, you will see the following display:
    5. After 2 or 3 seconds of processing time, the following Copy Progress Screen 
    will appear.
    “4012MB” indicates the capacity of the Master Disc.
    “481MB” indicates the current progress of the duplication in terms of MB
    “12%” indicates the current progress of the duplication.
    “0” indicates that you have made 0 copies so far.

    13.	Mix	Audio	 Tracks
    This menu will guide you through the “Mix Audio Tracks” feature. This feature 
    helps you combine audio tracks from various CDs into a single customize audio 
    CD. 
    14.	Setup
    14.1 Language
    This setting allows you to choose which language you prefer to navigate 
    this duplicator. Current supported languages are Spanish, and English.
    14.2 Auto Start
    This setting allows you to choose Auto, Full or Off.
    When full is selected this feature will allow the duplicator to copy 
    automatically once your Master Disc and all of the Writer Trays of the 
    duplicator are filled with recordable media.
    When it is Off, the copy process requires you to press ENT button to 
    confirm the duplication.
    If , for example, your duplicator has detected 3 blank discs on a 4 tar get 
    or higher duplicator and doesn’t detect any additional blank discs for 30 
    seconds, the duplication will be started automatically.
    In order for this feature to take effect, you need to be inside the operation 
    menu such as COPY, TEST, TEST+COPY, COPY+COMPARE, etc.
    14.3 Read Error Skip
    Normally, when the duplicator encounters a reading error while reading 
    your Master Disc, all the duplication will be aborted and all the recordable 
    media will be ruined. However, if you believe that your Master Disc has 
    a small, insignificant error due to physical damages, you can enable the 
    setting to allow the duplicator to skip any read error* it has encountered.
    *This function will not fix the error; it will only skip it to make the rest of 
    the data readable.

    Men\f Overview
    14.	Setup - continued
    14.4 CD Writing Mode
    This setting allows you to select which mode you can duplicate a CD 
    with. There are two different modes, “Disc at Once” and “Track at Once”. 
    Unless you understand completely what they mean, we strongly suggest 
    you to set it as “Disc at Once”.
    14.5 Max Audio, VCD & CDG Speed
    This setting allows you to adjust the maximum duplication speed for 
    Audio and Video CD. Audio CD’s and Video CD’s do not have internal 
    error checking capability, so duplicating at too high a speed may cause 
    frequent errors. 
    14.6 Buzzer
    This setting allows you to choose whether you want to hear a beep when 
    you press a button or when a task has been completed.
    14.7 Startup Menu
    This setting allows you to choose which menu you see first when the 
    duplicator is powered on.
    14.8 Screen Saver
    This setting allows you to enable the Screen Saver feature or not. By enabling 
    this feature, a screen saver will be displayed when your duplicator has been idle 
    for a long period of time.
    14.9 Duplication Mode
    To simplify the Hard Drive loading and copying process a feature called “Load 
    and Copy”, and “On the Fly” is introduced under the category “Duplication 
    Mode”.
    This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive” process to a single step!
    14.10 Counter
    This option allows you to enable/disable the Counter feature by turning this 
    feature ON or OFF. This feature will notify you how many discs have been 
    copied and how many discs are left to complete your project.

    Men\f Overview
    14.11 DVD+R High Compatibility Mode
    This feature allows you to enable/disable the DVD+R High Compatibility 
    Mode feature by turning this feature ON or OFF. The purpose of this 
    feature is to increase the compatibility of DVD+R media with a broader 
    range of DVD Video players. This process will increase the amount of 
    time required to duplicate your disc(s).
    14.12 ISRC
    This option allows you to enable/disable copying ISRC code of the 
    Audio CD. ISRC is the serial# of the audio tracks that uniquely identifies 
    the song in that audio track. This ISRC code is commonly found in 
    commercial Audio CD and rarely seen on the home made Audio CDs. By 
    enabling this feature, the duplication performance will be lowered.
    14.13 Disable Drives
    This feature allows you to disable certain drives/trays when those drives/
    trays are producing high failure rates or not functioning properly.
    14.14 USB Connection
    This feature allows you to turn on/off the USB port on the back of 
    your duplicator. This option will allow a Writer on the duplicator to be 
    controlled by a PC. This feature will only be visible if the supported USB 
    Connection were installed.
    *Please note that system will be restarted when this setting is changed.
    14.15 Overburn (CDs Only)
    This feature allows you to burn a few MB more than the standard capacity of the 
    target CD (e.g. 75 minutes of recording time vs. 74 minutes). The default setting 
    is OFF.
    15.	Utilities
    15.1 Disc Info
    This feature will identify your blank recordable Media’s format, capacity, 
    manufacture ID as well as the Media’s certified writing speed. This 
    function (Disc Info) can be found in the “Utility” menu. 
    Note: Thi\b feature only a\bpplie\b to media in t\bhe recording tray\b.\b

    Men\f Overview
    15.	Utilities - continued 
    15.2 Prescan
    This feature allows you to scan and detect any bad sectors existing in the 
    Master Disc. It is recommended that you perform a Prescan before starting 
    the duplication task for all Master Discs. Approximately 50% of failures 
    reported by the duplicator are caused by errors in the Master Disc which 
    the Reader couldn’t overcome. When this kind of failure occurs, it tends to 
    waste all of your blank recordable medias. 
    15.3 System Info
    By entering this menu, you will be able to see the many specification of 
    your duplicator such as the firmware version, CPU type, RAM capacity. You 
    can check the specifications by pressing UP or DOWN button.
    15.4 Device Info
    By entering this menu, you will be able to see the information for devices 
    built inside your duplicator. That information includes but limited to 
    manufacture, model number, etc.
    15.5 Load Default
    This function will reset all of the options back to manufacture’s default. You 
    can perform this function if your duplicator is acting abnormal. You need to 
    perform “Shutdown” and restart the system in order for this to take effect.
    15.6 Update Firmware
    This function will update the software of your duplicator. To update, 
    you need to insert manufacture Certified Update CD into the Reader and 
    select this function by pressing ENT button. We strongly suggest you to 
    not upgrade your duplicator’s firmware unless your duplicator is getting 
    unstable.
    15.7 Save
    This function will save all the settings you’ve modified since last time the 
    system is booted.
