Control Panel:

Overview:

When you turn on your KanguruDVD-Autoloader 200, it will go through an initialization process to
setup the robotic arm, detect the DVD/RW drives, and read the internal hard drive. The detection
process will be displayed on the LCD screen.

After successful start-up, you will enter Operation Mode. In Operation Mode, you can use the
SET button to switch between modes, or you can press down the SET button continuously for 3
seconds to enter Setup Mode. Pressing the RUN button will perform a specified operation. When
you are ready to return from Setup Mode to Operation Mode, press the SET button continuously
for 3 seconds to return back to Operation Mode.

There are two buttons on the KanguruDVD-Duplicator console, the SET and RUN button. The
SET button is normally used when you need to switch between different modes and functions;
where the RUN button is used to change, select, or start a specific task. For further information,
please see Individual Settings.

Understanding the LCD Display Panel:

NOTE: The LCD displays menu options, operating instructions, and also information on what the

duplicator is doing. Use it to walk you through simple DVD duplicating.
You can select the following modes by pushing the SET button on the controller. Then push the
RUN button to perform that function.

Loading the Source DVD or CD

The Kanguru DVD Autoloader 200 uses an internal 80GB hard drive to store images of your
source or master discs. When the duplication process begins the system will read from the data
from this hard drive and burn it onto the target discs. To get your source material onto the
internal hard drive it must be loaded from one of the DVD/RW drives. To do so, simply insert your
master disc into any of the 3 drives and go to the LOAD function. Press the RUN button and the
data will be loaded onto the hard drive. This will be discussed in greater detail later on in this
manual in the Internal Hard Drive Management section.

Loading blank DVDs or CDs

There are three Disc Tubs included with your Autoloader 200 (see the Top View diagram above).
Each can hold up to 100 discs for duplication. By default the Autoloader will begin picking blank
discs from Disc Tub #2. If there aren’t any discs in Disc Tub #2, the Autoloader will move to pick
from Disc Tub #1. Never load blank discs in Disc Tub#3, as that is only used as a finished tub. If
you plan to run a full 200 disc duplication then load 100 discs into Tub #2 and 100 disc into Tub
#1.
