Safety Precautions

Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicators are high-precision electronic devices. Do not use them in any manner other than as specified in this manual. Please read this manual in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure. Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser exposure.

To prevent fire or shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or rain.

To prevent electrical shock, do not attempt to disassemble the DVD/CD Duplicator. Refer servicing to authorized personnel.

Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator drives utilize a laser beam that can be harmful to your eyes. Do not disassemble the cabinet or unit. Do not attempt to look through the front panel or into the unit while the power is turned on.

Elevated Operating Ambient: If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

A user who changes or modifies the unit or operating procedures specified herein without expressed written approval from the manufacturer will void user authority to operate the equipment.

Specifications and features subject to change without notice or obligation.

TEAC America, Inc. reserves the right to modify product offerings or specifications without advanced notice. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any format without the expressed written permission of TEAC America, Inc.

The primary differences between the models are the TEAC or TASCAM logo on the LCD control panel and the name plate on the rear panel.

The Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator is a stand-alone disc-to-disc DVD/CD Duplicator system that does not require connection to a computer. It can duplicate a single master DVD±R to DVD±R media at up to 20X speeds, resulting in an exact replica of a 4.7GB disc. It can duplicate discs to CD-R/CD-RW media at up to 48X/32X speeds respectively. It can also duplicate discs to DVD±R DL media.

The Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator is designed to perform DVD and CD copying quickly and accurately. The Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator automatically identifies source DVD formats and replicates the content as required.

The Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator performs continuous copying with no waiting. It is an ideal DVD/CD Duplicator for the advanced user who requires speed and accuracy.

You can set up your Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator very quickly and easily. There is no need to install any software. There is no need to attach any cables to your computer. The Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator functions entirely as a stand-alone unit.
