Chapter 1 Introduction
The four models AEC-7763LC, AEC-7763LD, ARS-2022, and ARS-2022D are somewhat different in mechanical design, but have the same functions of duplication.
AEC-7763LC and ARS-2022 are simply for copying CD in video, audio or data form
while AEC-7763LD and ARS-2022D for copying CD and DVD. They all have multifunctional LCDs and 4 simple buttons on the panels. With any of them duplication
will be easier and more efficient.

AEC-7763LC/LD & ARS-2022/2022D
There are 12 functions for you to use. Function 1 is Copy. You can press ▼ to see
other functions.
3.2 About HDD Installation
With a 3.5” hard drive you can use and enjoy the function of Image. In other words,
you have one more choice to duplicate a CD or DVD from an image file stored in the
hard drive.
3.2.1 With a HDD
If you install a 3.5” hard drive to ARS-2022DS, the operation procedures will be as
follows.
l Once ARS-2022D detects the hard drive, it will ask if you want to format
or not. In CD a partition has 1GB while in DVD 5GB.
l Use function 8 Select Source to set the hard drive as the source.
l In function 9 Image select a partition to store the data.
l If there is no data in a selected partition, place a source DVD into DVD-
ROM and use function 9-01 Load to transmit data from DVD into the selected
partition by pressing ENT. Different data can be stored in different partitions.
l Switch to function 1 Copy by pressing ▲ . Place a blank DVD disk into
the DVD writer, and press ENT to start copying.
l When copying comes to an end, the passed DVD will eject automatically.
The default is automatic ejecting, but you can change it.
l The failed DVD will remain in the writer. The default is keeping a failed
DVD in the writer, but you can change it. To take the failed DVD you need
to press the button on the writer.
l During operation do not press any button on ARS-2022D, because
interruption will harm the device, and DVD will be damaged.
