Getting to Know Your Kanguru Duplicator

Chapter 2. Getting to Know Your Kanguru Duplicator

This chapter will get you acquainted with your Kanguru Duplicator’s hardware and user interface. Please read through this section carefully and make sure you are fully aware of the content presented here before operating your Kanguru Duplicator.

2.1 Hardware Setup

• Place the Kanguru Duplicator where there is proper ventilation. Avoid using the Duplicator in

environments with high temperatures.

• Before plugging in the AC Power Cable, please make sure that the voltage is adjusted to the same as

your local voltage 110V/220V. Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the Kanguru Duplicator. Incorrect power may cause faulty operation.

• If the Kanguru Duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below 32°F (0°C)

within the past 24 hours, please leave the system in a warm room with temperatures of at least 65°F (19°C) for 4 hours prior to powering it on for the first time. Failure to do so may cause irreparable harm and prevent the system from functioning.

• It is very important that the Kanguru Duplicator operates in a dust free, clean environment since

dust is the number one killer of optical recording devices. Failure to keep dust out of the Duplicator may cause damage to your unit. We strongly suggest you place an Air Duster next to the system and constantly use it to keep the surface of the Duplicator clear off dust. Do not try to use the Air Duster to clean the system while the reader/writer trays are open. In doing so, you may inadvertently blow dust into the recording device.

• In order to operate the Kanguru Duplicator as a standalone unit (no connection to the computer), make

sure that the unit is not connected to a PC via USB. For more information please see section “3.15 USB/External Connection” on page 51.

2.2 Things to remember

• Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the Kanguru Duplicator. Incorrect power may cause

faulty operation.

• The type of system you purchase will determine the type of discs you are able to copy. If you purchased

a DVD Duplicator, then you can copy DVD and CD formats. If you purchased a Blu-ray Duplicator, then you can copy Blu-ray, DVD, and CD formats. If you have a Blu-ray capable system, the terms CD or DVD can be substituted with Blu-ray within the text of this manual.

• The Kanguru Duplicator CANNOT duplicate any CD, DVD, or Blu-ray discs that have Copyright

Protection using encryption methods, such as CSS.

• The Kanguru Duplicator CANNOT copy across formats. This means that you cannot copy a DVD

master onto a recordable CD or vice versa. In addition, you cannot copy the same formats if the discs have different maximum capacity limitations. This means that you cannot copy a single layer DVD onto a dual layer DVD or vice versa. The recordable blanks must be the same format and maximum capacity as the master disc you intend to duplicate.

3.4 Copy

The Copy function will guide you through making CD/DVD/BD copies.

3.4.1 Making disc to disc copies

The Copy process will copy your master disc onto a single or multiple blank discs simultaneously. Due to its simultaneous nature, a master disc in good condition and lower recording speeds are recommended for better quality duplications.

Kanguru Solutions

1. Copy

1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Copy. Press the ENT button to enter the Copy menu.

Counter : No Counter

2. You will see the Counter screen. For more information on the Counter, see section “3.2.2 Setting a Job Counter” on page 11.

Once you have set the Counter, any trays that do not contain discs in them will automatically be ejected. You will see the following Preparation screens:

Preparing... Waiting for Master

Preparing... Waiting for Blanks

3. Insert your Master disc into the Reader drive and blank discs into the Writer drives.

Note: For a disc-to-disc copy, the master disc can be inserted in any of the disc drives. The Reader is normally the 1st drive at the top of the tower. You can switch which drive is used as the Reader by changing the Select Source setting. For more information, see section 3.10 Select Source, p.30.

After you’ve loaded the drives with discs, close the trays and allow 5 - 10 seconds for the system to detect them. If either of the preparation screens are displayed for more than 2 minutes after you have inserted your discs, please check the quality of the discs.

Once all the discs have been recognized, you will see the Confirmation screen.

Copy

Preparing : 7 Discs Detected : Go?

Note: The “7” indicates that there are seven discs recognized by the Writers. The actual quantity may be different depending on the number of discs you have inserted.

4. When the number of discs detected matches the number of blank discs you inserted, press the ENT button. You will see the Preparing screen.

After 2 or 3 seconds of processing time, the Copy Progress screen will appear.

Copying... 4012MB 0 10% 401MB

Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages.

5. Once the Copy process has been completed, you will see the following screen.

Pass 7 Fail 0 ( 7) Waiting for Blanks

• PASS 7 - number of discs successfully copied.

• FAIL 0 - number of discs that failed to copy.

• ( 7 ) - number of copies made for this job so far.

The successful copies will be ejected. Remove the successful copies, refill the trays with blank media and press the ENT button to continue making another round of copies. Any discs that fail to copy (bad copy) will not be ejected automatically. You will need to manually eject them and throw them away if they are single recording discs. Empty drives will also not be ejected automatically.

6. Terminate the current job. a) If you have finished making copies, press the ESC button to terminate the current duplication

project and exit to the Main Menu.

b) If you specified a Counter, once you see the following screen indicating that the specified Counter

value has been reached, you can then press the ENT button to exit to the Main Menu.

Pass 21 Fail 0 Job Completed! Press ENT to Finish

Copy

3.4.2 Making copies from an existing hard drive partition (hard drive models only)

Using the hard drive as the master copy source is the best way to make copies. Since you won’t need to occupy the Reader drive with a master disc, you will have one additional drive to use for burning copies.

Using the hard disc as the master copy source improves:

• Performance - Copying from the hard drive enables the writer drives to boost the copying performance to the limit.

• Stability - Copying from the hard drive allows a more stable duplication process than disc-to-disc duplication.

• Durability – The hard drive is a more durable storage device than recordable discs. The recording surface of a recordable disc is exposed and can easily be scratched, potentially corrupting data. The hard drive is shielded and mounted inside the unit, protecting it from incidental damage.

• Convenience – With your master copy sources stored inside the hard drive, you have convenient access to each one. There is no need to search for a master disc every time you want to make a copy; they are all stored inside the system.

Before you can make copies from an existing hard drive partition, make sure you have loaded an image of the Master disc onto the hard disk drive (see section “3.16.2 Load Partition” on page 54) and that the hard disk drive is selected as your source drive (see section “3.10 Select Source” on page 30).

Test

3.7 Test

The Test function will perform a simulation of the copy process. During this simulation process the Duplicator will test that the master source and target discs will produce error-free duplicates. All blank single-write recordable discs (e.g. DVD-R, CD-R) will be reusable after testing. Due to the physical limitation of DVD+R/RW & BD-R/RE recordable format, you cannot perform the Test function on these formats. If you do so, the LCD screen will display error message 211. For more information on this error message, please see “Chapter 6. Error Codes” on page 62.

Warning: If you are using CD-RW/DVD-RW discs as your blank media during the Test process, any content that may have been recorded onto those discs will be permanently erased.

Note: While in the Main Menu, you can press the TEST shortcut button on the LCD panel to directly enter the Test menu. For more information, please see section “2.4 LCD Panel” on page 8.
