The Best Place To Put The 5000
The best operating location for the 5000 Series CD duplicator is in a
climate-controlled area, free of dirt, dust, humidity, excessive heat, and
electronic or electromagnetic interference. Room temperature should be
between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or between 18 and 23 degrees
Celsius. Place the 5000 on a solid, steady work surface, and allow sufficient
room for all incidental work materials. Provide at least six inches of
clearance on all sides of the unit for ventilation.
Safety Precautions
The system is shipped with a three-prong power connector, and must be
used with a properly grounded AC receptacle. DO NOT try to defeat the
third “ground” prong. All computer peripherals must be properly grounded,
and the 5000 is no exception. The use of a power conditioner, such as an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or a surge protector, is highly
recommended. The minimum required size is 500VA.
Document Revision: 030501.1

Repairs or alterations should only be attempted by authorized, factorytrained technicians. MediaFORM reserves the right to void the warranty if
unauthorized service is performed.

General Operation
The 5000 Series is extremely versatile and offers many useful and powerful
features.
Function Keys
Various uses for the 5000 Series will be explained throughout this
Operator’s Guide. The following section explains the purpose of the
function keys.

Creating A Hard Disk Image
The 5000 Series comes equipped with an internal hard disk drive, which
can be used to store copies of master discs for later recording or comparing.
Each master is saved as a single image file. Up to six images can be stored
on the hard disk at one time.
A hard disk image is useful as a convenient way of copying standard master
discs. For example, create hard disk images for three or four master discs
which are needed on a regular basis, and access them to make copies as
required.
Creating A Single Hard Disk Image
Although the 5000 Series’ internal hard disk can store up to six images of
master discs, it is sometimes prudent not to use this Multiple Image feature
and only allow one image to be created and stored. For example, using a
single image simplifies the copying process. This reduces the chance that an
operator might make copies of the wrong discs by selecting the incorrect
hard disk image.

Copy Protection
Copy protection is a feature that hinders unauthorized copying. It can be
written into data discs (CD-ROM Mode 1 only) duplicated with the CD-
5000. This offers a basic level of defense against casual copying
attempts by inserting and writing invalid blocks at the beginning of a
CD-ROM, in its header section.
The CD-5000’s copy protection function is an elementary tool designed
to frustrate commercial duplication equipment, and consumer software
that copy discs at the block-level. It will not, however, defeat specialized
copying utilities, which are capable of blind reading. In addition, it will
not prevent discs from being re-authored one file at a time using a CDR/RW recorder and a premastering program (such as: Adaptec Easy CD
Creator and Toast, CeQuadrat WinOnCD, Ahead Nero, NTI CD-Maker,
and others).
Copy protected discs cannot be duplicated by the CD-5000, and
therefore cannot be used as masters. It is also important to remember
that copy protected discs may also be mistakenly identified by industrial
mastering systems as containing errors, and therefore should not be used
as master discs for mass replication purposes.
Enabling Copy Protection
To write copy protection into discs copied with the CD-5000, the steps
are as follows:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:
S E L E C T C OP Y OR C O MP A R E
• Press the “2” key. The screen will now read:

Creating Audio Compilation Discs
In addition to copying entire CDs, audio compilation discs can be created
one track at a time, from one or more master discs containing audio CDDA, mixed mode, or CD-Extra. This is accomplished by using the CD-5000
Series’ audio track import feature. The audio will be imported to the 1
partition of the hard drive.
To create an audio compilation disc, the steps are as follows:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:

• Load the master disc that contains the audio track(s) you wish to copy
into the top CD-R/RW recorder. Wait for the LED lights on the front of
all the recorders to stop flickering (this may take up to 30 seconds).
Note: Only one audio compilation disc can be created at one time. If
several copies are required, first create the original
compilation disc, and then copy it in the usual way.

Working With CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) Discs
In addition to working with CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, the 5000 can also
copy both to and from CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. CD-R discs are
write-once and can be read on any CD audio player, CD-ROM, and
MultiRead CD-ROM drive. CD-RW discs can be rewritten to as many as
1,000 times, and are read using MultiRead CD-ROM (usually 24x and
faster), and DVD-ROM drives.
CD-RW Supported Formats
The 5000 can copy CD-RW discs written in most logical formats (ISO
9660, audio, etc.) but not those created using the Universal Disk Format
(UDF). CD-RW discs using UDF are produced by packet writing software
(such as Adaptec DirectCD, CeQuadrat PacketCD, Prassi abCD, etc.).
Because UDF discs cannot be read by all CD-ROM drives, they are not a
good choice for distributing data.
CD-RW Copying Speed
CD-RW copying speed is determined by two f actors - the CD-RW writing
speed of the recorders installed in the CD-5000, and the maximum speed
rating of the discs themselves. CD-RW discs are manufactured with an
internal speed code, which is checked before copying begins. The CD-5000,
equipped with the SmartDRIVE 40X drives, will only accept 10x CDReWritable (CD-RW) discs.

Firmware Updates
From time to time the 5000 Series’ internal “firmware” may need updating
to add new features or improve existing functions. Firmware is easily
updated by loading a “Firmware Update CD” into the system. The latest
version of firmware will be available for downloading to your computer
from the MediaFORM web site: www.mediaform.com
Once a firmware image file is downloaded, a “Firmware Update CD” can
then be written using a computer, a CD-R/RW recorder, and most popular
premastering programs (such as: Adaptec Easy CD Creator and Toast,
CeQuadrat WinOnCD, Ahead Nero, NTI CD-Maker, and others). Refer to
your premastering software documentation for details on how to record a
disc from an image file.
After having created a “Firmware Update CD”, perform the following steps
to update the 5000 Series’ firmware:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:

Appendix A: Supported Formats
Originally designed for audio use, the Compact Disc (CD) evolved quickly and now
employs a wide variety of formats for audio, data, and multimedia applications. The
following is a list of the most popular formats currently supported by the 5000 Series.
Periodic firmware updates will be made available to deal with new formats as they
appear. To obtain the latest version of firmware, contact your MediaFORM reseller or
download the update from the MediaFORM web site: www.mediaform.com
Many CD formats are international or industry standards, but variations on them may
emerge from time to time. Should you encounter a disc (which does not employ a copy
protection scheme) that you cannot copy on your 5000 Series, MediaFORM will do its
best to promptly add support for this format. Dealing with custom formats, however, may
be subject to a development charge.
Keeping track of how the various formats relate to each other can be confusing. For
example, the 5000 Series can copy all CD-ROM Mode 1 discs - this includes ISO 9660,
HFS, Hybrid, Rock Ridge and many other types of file systems. As a result, the 5000
Series will most likely copy CD formats not listed in the table below. If you require
further assistance, please contact MediaFORM’s technical support department at (610)
458-9200 or email: support@mediaform.com
