Please retain the original box and packaging in the event that the unit
requires future servicing. This will help to reduce the possibility of damage
occurring in transit.

5000D Series Operator’s Guide
The Best Place To Put The 5000D
The best operating location for the 5000D Series DVD 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 5000D 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 5000D 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
Document Revision: 060102
Repairs or alterations should only be attempted by authorized, factorytrained technicians. MediaFORM reserves the right to void the warranty if
unauthorized service is performed.

System Startup
Before duplicating can begin it is necessary to review a few details.
• Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the upper receptacle at the
rear of the unit.
• Next, verify that the voltage selector switch is set correctly. It is located
between the two power receptacles. The 5000D Series supports both 115
VAC and 230 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz. Please confirm that the appropriate
voltage (115 VAC for North America) has been selected.

5000D Series Operator’s Guide
Creating A Hard Disk Image
The 5000D 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 four 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 5000D Series’ internal hard disk can store up to four 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.
To create a single hard disk image, the steps are as follows:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:
S E L E C T C O P Y O R C O M P A R E
• Press the “COPY” key. The screen will now read:

The master disc is now stored as an image on the hard disk
Note: If discs failed to copy properly, the recorder tray drawers stay
closed upon completion. These discs should not be used. To
help you determine the nature of the problem, error messages
can be displayed by pressing the “9” key on the keypad.
• Press the “START/YES” key, and you will be returned to the main
operating screen:
S E L E C T C O P Y O R C O M P A R E
Note: When the Multiple Images feature is disabled, only one image
can be saved on the hard disk. If a new image is created, the
old one is overwritten.

Copying From A Hard Disk Image
After a hard disk image has been created, it can be used as the copying
master source. If you have not already created a hard disk image, do so
now, as described in the previous section.
Multiple Images Disabled
To make copies from a hard disk image that was previously created with the
Multiple Images feature “disabled” (i.e. from a single hard disk image), the
steps are as follows:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:

Comparing From A Hard Disk Image
For quality control purposes, the 5000D Series is equipped with powerful
verification capabilities. Copied discs can also be compared against hard
disk images. This feature ensures copying integrity.

Working With CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) Discs
In addition to working with CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, the 5000D 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 DVD-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 5000D 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 factors - the CD-RW writing
speed of the recorders installed in the 5000D (8x with Pioneer A04 drives),
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 5000D, equipped with the Pioneer A04 drives, will only accept
4x CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs.

Firmware Updates
From time to time the 5000D 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 5000D Series’ firmware:
• From the main operating screen depicted below:
S E L E C T C O P Y O R C O M P A R E
• Load the “Firmware Update CD” into the top DVD-R/RW recorder.
• Turn off the power to the 5000D Series.
• The system will startup:

• Select “Yes” to upgrade the firmware.
• Upon completion, the system will automatically reboot.
• Remove the CD at this time.
• If the “upgrade firmware” screen appears again, select “No” and remove
firmware disc.
• You will then be returned to the main operating screen:

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 5000D 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 5000D 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 5000D
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
