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 Duplicators 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.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a TEAC or TASCAM 4U Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator.

Note: This User's Manual is intended for both TEAC and TASCAM branded Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicators. Operational instructions for both models are essentially the same. 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.

Caution: Your Rackmount DVD/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 to page 5.

Setup

Chapter 2. Using the Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator

This chapter explains how to set up the Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator. It also explains basic operation and menu functions.

Note: The following instructions are applicable to TEAC and TASCAM bran ded Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicators. The primary differences between models are the TEAC or TASCAM logo on the LCD Control Panel and the model number on the corresponding nameplate label. Please refer to “Specifications” on page 39 for detailed information on your model.

Setup

1. Carefully remove the DVD/CD Duplicator unit, AC power cord, warranty card, optional rubber feet and user’s manual from the shipping box.

Note: Please keep the original box and packaging materials for use in the event of future storage or transportation of the unit.

2. If the unit will not be mounted onto a rack, you may wish to affix the four included rubber feet to the bottom of the Rackmount DVD/CD Duplicator. Then skip Step 3 and proceed directly to Step 4.

3. To rack mount the DVD/CD Duplicator, leave a 1U of space above it and 4 inches (10cm) or more of space at the rear. Use a rack-mounting kit (not included) to mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, as illustrated below. If rubber feet are currently affixed to the bottom of the unit, remove the rubber feet before you attempt to mount the unit in a rack.
