Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a TEAC Tower DVD Duplicator.
Note:
❑
TEAC Tower DVD 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 29 for detailed information on the model you purchased.
❑
This User's Manual is intended for both 1x3 and 1x7 Tower DVD 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 DVD Duplicator is a stand-alone disc-to-disc DVD Duplicator
system that does not require connection to a computer. It can duplicate a single
master DVD to DVD media at up to 16X speeds, resulting in an exact replica of a
4.7GB disc. It can also duplicate discs to CD-R media at up to 48X speeds.
The TEAC Tower DVD Duplicator is designed to perform DVD copying quickly
and accurately. The DVD Duplicator automatically identifies source DVD
formats and replicates the content as required.
The TEAC Tower DVD Duplicator performs continuous copying with no waiting.
It is an ideal DVD Duplicator for the advanced user who requires speed and
accuracy.
You can set up your TEAC Tower DVD 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 DVD Duplicator functions entirely as a stand-alone
unit.
Caution:
Your TEAC Tower DVD 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.

Loading Data to and Copying from the Hard Disk Source Drive
Note:
The following instructions apply only to Tower DVD Duplicator models
that feature a factory-installed hard disk drive (DVW-D13H and DVW-D17H).
During initialization (see Step 3 on page 7), the DVD Duplicator performs a selftest to detect source drives. The DVD-ROM drive and hard disk drive will be
detected as available source drives. The DVD-ROM drive is the default source
drive.
The internal hard disk drive was formatted and partitioned at the factory. Each
partition occupies 5GB of hard disk space. The number of partitions depends on
the capacity of the hard disk drive. Partitions are arranged alphabetically and
initially contain no data. A set of data loaded into a partition on the hard disk drive
is called an “image file.”
To use the hard disk drive as the source drive, you must first load an image file
from a DVD onto a partition on the hard disk drive, select the partition that
contains the data you want to copy, specify the hard disk drive as the source drive,
then execute the copy function.
1. Insert a source DVD into the DVD-ROM drive.
This disc (DVD-ROM or DVD) contains the data that you wish to copy to the
partition on the internal hard disk drive.

Chapter 3. Tower DVD Duplicator Functions
The Tower DVD Duplicator features 12 functions: Copy, Test, Test &Copy,
Verify, Compare, Prescan, Disc Info, Select Source, Image, Edit Track, Setup, and
Advanced Setup. Each function is explained below.
1 Copy
The Copy function enables you to copy data from a source DVD or a partition on
the internal hard disk (if your Tower DVD Duplicator features a factory-installed
hard disk drive). For more information, refer to “Basic Operation” on page 8.
To copy data to one of more DVD-R discs, follow the steps below:
1. Switch to function [1 Copy] by pressing the button.
2. Insert a source disc in the source drive and a blank DVD-R disc in as
many of the target drives as you desire.
(Note: If your Tower DVD Duplicator features a factory-installed hard disk
drive and you wish to copy data from a partition on the hard disk, refer to
“Loading Data to and Copying from the Hard Disk Source Drive” on page 9.)
3. Press the (ENT) button.
When the copy operation is complete, the target drives eject the copied discs.
4. To make additional copies of the same source disc, insert another blank
DVD-R disc in each of the target drives and press the (ENT) button.
Otherwise, press (ESC) to return to the main menu.
Note: You can use DVD-RW discs that already contain data (i.e., DVD-RW discs
that are not fully blank) as target discs. However, the data stored on the DVDRW disc will be erased automatically before the new data is copied. No special
setting or procedure is required to erase the old data.
2 Test
The Test function simulates writing to the target disc. Discs will remain blank
after the test is complete. This function is recommended if you are using
unsupported media. This function enables the target drive to adjust its laser to the
proper intensity.
TEAC Tower DVD Duplicator User’s Manual 13
3 Test & Copy
Note: Unexpected termination or cancellation of a test will not affect a target
DVD-R disc. The target DVD-R disc will remain blank and available for use.
However, DVD-RW discs that contain data may be damaged and the data they
contained may be rendered unrecoverable. It may be necessary to re-start the
DVD Duplicator if the target drive hangs during a sudden termination.
3 Test & Copy
The Test & Copy function performs the test simulation and the copy process in one
step.
The copy process is performed only if the simulation detects no problems. If the
simulation fails, the copy process is cancelled.
4 Verify
The Verify function verifies that the target disc was written completely and with
no errors.
5 Compare
The Compare function compares data on the source and target discs after the copy
process is complete.
Note: This function works only with data discs.
6 Prescan
The Prescan function is performed on the source drive. This function scans the
disc to determine the maximum data/audio extraction speed.
7 Disc Info
The Disc Info function displays detailed information about the source disc,
including sessions, tracks, capacity, etc.
8 Select Source
The Select Source function enables you to select a drive (DVD-ROM drive, DVD
Writer drive, or hard disk drive) as the source from which to copy. You can select
a hard disk drive only on those Tower DVD Duplicator systems that feature a
factory-installed hard disk drive.

Appendix C. About DVD-R and DVD-RW Discs
This appendix explains how to handle, load, and eject DVD-R and DVD-RW
discs.
Handling Discs
❑ Handle compact discs only by their edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the
surface. Do not touch the disc’s data surface (unlabeled side).
❑ Do not place discs in direct sunlight or in locations subject to high humidity,
high temperatures, or dusty conditions.
❑ If it becomes necessary to clean a disc due to erratic operation, visible dust,
or smudges, gently wipe the surface of the disc from the center to the outside
edge. Do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or other solvents.
