Operation Guide

Please Note: The Kanguru DVD Duplicator uses a hard drive to store
DVD/CD images. This hard drive is used as the “source” drive for this
duplicator. You must load your images from any of the DVD/RW drives onto
the hard drive before you begin copying discs. However, you can also use
1 of the DVD/RW drives as a “source” drive, leaving you with 6 target
drives for duplication. Kanguru Solutions strongly recommends using the
hard drive as your “source” drive for duplication.

Quick Start:

1. Make sure the power is turned on to the removable drive. If it’s in the locked position then
the drive is on and the LED’s will light up.

2. Power on the Duplicator and wait 4-5 seconds, until it recognizes all of the drives.

3. Insert you master DVD or CD into any of the 7 DVD/RW drives. The LCD will display the
discs info when it’s recognized.

4. Press the “SET” button until you reach the LOAD function. Press the “RUN” button to
begin saving this DVD or CD onto the hard drive. Remove the source disc upon
completion.

5. You now have a “master” image saved on the hard drive and you are ready to begin
duplication. Press the “SET” button until you reach the “COPY” function.

6. Insert blank media (DVD-/+R, DVD-/+RW, or CD-R/RW) into the DVD/RW Drives and the
master DVD/CD into the DVD-ROM Drive and close the trays.

7. Let the duplicator warm up for 4-5 seconds, until it reads the master DVD, and the blank
discs have been recognized. The LCD will display the number of black media inserted
and also information about the master disc.

8. Press the “RUN” button and the duplication process will begin. The LCD will display the
speed and progress of the duplication.

9. If there is an error, the LCD display panel will indicate where the error has occurred. You
will be prompted to hit RUN to continue and both DVD’s will be ejected automatically at
the same time. Should this occur, please retry with a new DVD or CD media. If there is
still an error, try another master DVD with new blank media to determine if there is an
incompatibility issue with the Master material.

10. When the duplication is complete, there will be a beep sound from the drive and only the
media in the DVD-/+RW drives will be ejected. Repeating the process beginning at step 1
can produce new copies.

Kanguru DVD Duplicator Operation

Overview:

When you turn on your KanguruDVD-Duplicator, it will detect the DVD-/+R/RW writers and the
DVD-ROM on your system in the order of #1, #2, #3… and so on; 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.

Loading the Source DVD or CD

The Kanguru DVD Duplicator uses a 200GB 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 7 drives and go to the LOAD function. Press the RUN button and the data will be loaded
onto the hard drive.

1. Press the SET button until you reach the LOAD function.

2. Insert the DVD or CD that you wish to duplicate into any of the 7 DVD/RW drives. The
LCD should display information about this disc on the bottom line. For example, the LCD
screen pictured below informs us that we are using the LOAD function. That there is 1
disc present in one of the 7 drives and the source disc is being read from the #6 drive.
The #6 drive contains a music CD with 70 minutes of audio over 18 tracks.

3. Press the RUN button to begin loading the data onto the internal hard drive. The LCD will
display the progress as pictured below.
