Troubleshooting

6.1 About LCD

After powering on if there is no LCD, please check if the connection of power cord

is frim and the environment of power outlet is normal.

6.2 About Error Messages

During Copy, Test, Compare and Verify, etc. if you press ESC to abort, an error

message will appear on LCD. Abortion may cause the copy smart plus to hang up,

therefore you have to power on again.

If reading fails, an error message will appear on LCD. Please get a new source DVD

to try again.

If the copy smart plus hasnít detected any device after powering on, an error message

will appear on LCD.

6.3 About DVD-ROM/DVD Writers

If a DVD-ROM or DVD writers cannot read, please confirm the format of the

source DVD and check if it is damaged.

Use any DVD writer to read the source DVD. If it works, the DVD-ROM is probably

defective or not compatible with the source DVD.

Use a fine DVD writer as the data reader, and set the ìRead Speedî at minimum.

Page 47

6.4 About Buttons

If you press any one of the four buttons on the panel, but there is no response, it is

perhaps that the button cannot function well. Please inspect the jumper setting.

6.5 About DVD Writer Not Readable

After copying if the DVD writer is not readable, please use Compare to examine, or

get another DVD-ROM to test.

6.6 About High Failure Rate

If the failure rate of copying is high, please do the following things to improve.

l Lower the speed of DVD writer

l Inspect if the blank diskís quality is bad.

l Update the firmware.

l Inspect the DVD writerís maximum writing speed. If the speed is over 24X,

copy the data to a hard disk first, and then transmit to DVD.

6.7 About Firmware Update

If you cannot update the firmware, please inspect the BIOS program. Perhaps you

have downloaded a wrong program, or let a zipped file be written into DVD. The

zipped file should be unzipped first.

Failure in firmware update may cause the copy smart plus to fail in booting. Under

the circumstances, please return the control board to ACARD for repair.
