■
Number of Copies: Enter the number of copies of the disc you
want the recorder will make. Toast will prompt you for blank discs
after each copy.
3 Click the Advanced tab. In the Advanced tab, you can change the
following settings:
■
After Writing: From this pop-up menu, select what you want to do
with the disc after recording it. Toast can mount the disc on the
desktop, eject the disc, or prompt you for either.
■
Close Disc: Select this check box to finalize the disc so that Toast
cannot record any further sessions to the disc. (A session is a single
recording.) This is useful for making data discs that you would like
to record data to in more than one session.
Uncheck this check box if you want to record more than one
session to the disc.
■
Verify Data: If you are making a data disc, select this check box to
automatically verify the contents of a disc against the same data on
your hard disk after recording the disc.
Uncheck this check box if you do not want to automatically verify
the contents of a data disc after recording.
■
Simulation Mode: Select this check box if you want to simulate the
process of recording data or audio on a disc. You might do this to
make sure that the write speed and other factors that you have set
up for your recorder are correctly in place before you start to
record to actual media.
Uncheck this box if you want to record to an actual disc.
■
Buffer Underrun Prevention: Select this check box to turn on
buffer underrun prevention. A buffer underrun is an error in
which your hard disk is unable to send data fast enough to the
recorder during a recording. This causes errors that make a blank
disc unusable.
■
Audio Write Mode: Displays the mode of recording for the
recorder. Choose the option that best fits the type of recording you
want to make:
■
DAO. Short for “Disc-At-Once,” this method of recording
allows pauses of varying lengths of up to 8 seconds between
audio tracks. Choose this option if you are making audio CDs
to be commercially reproduced. Some recorders cannot record
in DAO mode.
■
TAO. Short for “Track-At-Once,” this method of recording
requires a pause of 2 seconds between tracks (depending
on your recorder). You cannot record CD-TEXT in this
mode. For more information, see Turning on CD-TEXT
page 56

Sharing Recorders Over a Network
(ToastAnywhere)
The ToastAnywhere™ feature helps you share CD or DVD recorders across
a network or the Internet with other Toast 6 Titanium users. An entire
office or home network can use a single recorder.
Note If someone else on your computer network has shared their
recorder, you can record any kind of data to that recorder. This will
take longer than any recording with a recorder connected directly
to your computer.
To share your recorder with other Toast 6 Titanium users over a network:
1 Choose Toast Titanium > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog appears.
2 In the Preferences dialog, click the Sharing tab.
3 In the Sharing tab, click the Start button.
4 Do one of the following:
■
If you want other Toast 6 Titanium users on the network or
Internet to have unlimited access to your recorder, click OK.
■
If you want to establish a password that users must type in to
access the recorder connected to your computer, click Set
Password. A dialog box appears, where you will be asked to enter
the password. Click OK when you are finished.
To unshare your recorder or change your password:
1 Choose Toast Titanium > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog appears.
2 In the Preferences dialog, click the Sharing tab.
3 In the Sharing tab, do one of the following:
■
To unshare your recorder, click Stop.
