When used as a stand-alone duplication solution,
your LaCie Dupli Disc DVD121 is completely autonomous, requiring no software or computer to duplicate
DVDs or CDs. Its various functions allow you to make
copies of a master disc at once for quick, easy duplication.
To ensure fail-proof duplication, the LaCie DVD
Dupli-121 provides a duplication test function, allowing
you to simulate a recording without actually recording
to the blank disc. We recommend using this feature if
you feel your master or target DVD or CD media may
be scratched or damaged. is will help you to use your
blank media more efficiently.
With its Read Check and Verification functions,
you can check that your burned audio CDs will be read
properly and that your burned data CDs/DVDs have
been duplicated correctly.
