Allows an image to be loaded onto the HDD from a master CD or DVD and
automatically copied on to the target disc(s). Select from 3 modes:
Synchronous, Load First and Off.
Functions:
1. Copy – This command will copy the master disc placed in the designated Source Drive to all target di scs
in the Writer Drives. This process burns all information contained on the master disc to the target discs so
the copies are exact duplicates of the master disc.
To Start the Copy Process:
1. Power on the duplicator (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated Source Drive (usually
the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number of drives used
depends on number of copies desired. It is not necessary to always use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “1. Copy” and press the ENT button. The drives will
automatically close trays and begin the copy process.
5. Once the copy process is completed, the disc trays will eject and the display will read “Copy Result:
Pass X, Fail Y,” with X being the number of successful copies, and Y being the number of failed
copies. To reduce copy failure, please refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual.

2. Test – This command will simulate the copy process and make sure all target discs are usable. The test
process does NOT burn anything to the blank disc(s). A built-in diagnostic algorism is used to verify the
chance of successful copy for each target disc.
To start the Test Process:
1. Power on the duplicator (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated Source Drive (usually
the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number of drives used
depends on number of discs to be tested. It is not necessary to always use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “2. Test” and press the ENT button. The drives will
automatically close trays and begin the test process.

5. Once the test process is complete, the disc trays will eject and the display will read “Test Result: Pass
X, Fail Y, with X being the number of discs that passed the test, and Y being the number of failed
copies. Use discs that have passed the test for the actual duplication.

disc and execute Test
Î
Î Start simulation Î
Î Analyze source disc Î
Î Finish and

3. Copy & Verify – This command will perform the copy process, and immediately follow with a verification
process on all target discs. This command is especially useful for audio CD duplication.
Note: The verification process uses a Disc Readability Check to individually check the presence of data on each copy. This process
does not compare the contents of duplicated discs against that of the master. It only verifies that the duplicated discs are readable.
To start the Copy & Verify process:
1. Power on the duplicator (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated Source Drive (usually
the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number of drives used
depends on number of copies desired. It is not necessary to always use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “3. Copy & Verify” and press the ENT button. The
drives will automatically close trays and begin the copy proces s.
5. Once the copy process is completed, the tray(s) will open briefly, and then automatically close again
to begin the verify process.
6. Once the verify process is completed, the trays will automatically eject discs that have passed the
Copy & Verify process.

4. Copy & Compare – This command will perform the copy process, and immediately follows with a
comparison between the master disc and the copied disc(s) to ensure the copies are exact duplicates of
the master disc. This command is especially useful for DVDs, data CDs and video CDs.
Note: The Compare process is a bit-by-bit comparison between the master disc and the copied discs. This operation ensures that
all of the copies are completely identical to the Master disc. This command is not applicable to audio CDs.
To start the Copy & Compare process:
1. Power on the duplicator (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated Source Drive (usually
the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number of drives used
depends on number of copies desired. It is not necessary to always use all drives.
