TEAC Tower CD Duplicator User’s Manual

Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a TEAC Tower CD Duplicator.

Note:

❑

TEAC Tower CD Duplicators are available in 1x3 (one source drive and
three target drives) and 1x7 (one source drive and seven target drives) mod­els, with or without internal hard disk drives. Please refer to “Specifica­tions” on page 28 for detailed information on the model you purchased.

❑

This User's Manual is intended for both 1x3 and 1x7 Tower CD Duplicator
systems. Operational instructions for all models are essentially the same.
The primary difference between models is the number of target drives and
the inclusion of an optional hard disk drive. Other minor differences
between the models are described herein as necessary.

The TEAC Tower CD Duplicator is a stand-alone disc-to-disc CD Duplicator
system that does not require connection to a computer. It can duplicate a single
master CD to CD-R media at up to 52X speeds, resulting in an exact replica of a
700MB disc. It can also duplicate discs to CD-RW media at up to 32X speeds.

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

The TEAC Tower CD Duplicator performs continuous copying with no waiting.
It is an ideal CD duplicator for the advanced user who requires speed and
accuracy.

You can set up your TEAC Tower 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 TEAC Tower CD Duplicator functions entirely as a stand-alone
unit.

Caution:

Your TEAC Tower CD Duplicator can operate on either 115VAC or
220VAC voltage. Before you turn on the power to the unit, be certain to select
the correct voltage for your region by setting the AC Voltage Selector on the rear
panel. Failure to do so can result in damage to the unit. For more information,
refer page 5.
