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:

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.
