INTRODUCTION
The stand-alone CD Copy Station reproduces CDs without the necessity for a PC, additional software packages, or any kind of adapter
cards. It is equipped with four TEAC IDE Writers and an IDE CD-ROM
drive, and so can copy CDs quickly and without any problems – the
data are simply read by the CD-ROM. So: insert the “master CD”, put
ENGLISH
the blank CDs into the recorders and start the burn procedure at the
press of a button. It could not be any easier!
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Pico-4 CD duplicator provides you with a quick and simple method
of copying your original audio material in CD format at more than realtime speeds, using easily-obtainable, low-cost CD-R and CD-RW media, with no auxiliary equipment or computer system required. It it especially useful for duplicating material produced using the TEAC CD
Writer series on CD-R media. The Pico-4 can also be used to duplicate
CD-ROM material of which you own copyright or for which you have
appropriate permission.
NOTE
This product is designed to aid professional users in publishing
small CD-based circulations. To copy and distribute CDs you
have to own the copyright, or the permission from the copyright
owner or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the copyright, or
have obtained the appropriate permission from the copyright
owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may result in severe civil and
criminal penalties under copyright laws and international copyright treaties. If you are uncertain about your rights, contact
your legal advisor. Under no circumstances will TEAC
Deutschland GmbH be responsible for any consequences of
any illegal copying performed using the Pico-4.
ENGLISH
Depending on the quality of the source CD, it is possible to copy material at up to eight times the real-time rate (selectable from the front
panel), making it convenient for rapid duplication of a number of identical discs, etc.
Please consider that it is impossible to copy UDF-CDs (Incremental
Packet Writing). Please consider also that copying of CDs with copy
protection or scratched surface may be impossible.
2. General Description
37
NOTE
Although the operation of the Pico-4 is relatively straightforward, we strongly suggest that you read this manual before
starting operations. There are a few factors affecting the production of CD-R discs using the Pico-4 which may not be immediately obvious.
ENGLISH
2.1 Installing the Pico-4
There are no connections to be made to and from the Pico-4 other
than the power connection on the rear Panel, as the unit is completely
self-contained.
2.2 Components of the Pico-4
On the rear side of the Pico-4 the power connector is located which
has to be connected with the shipped power cord.

➃
➁ Display
The 2 x 16 LCD display displays the menus and submenus available,
and also provides information on the status of the current operation, as
well as displaying error messages, etc.
➂ MODE key
The MODE key is used to cycle through the different menus and options available to put the unit into the different modes, as explained
below.
➃ ENTER key
The ENTER key is used to confirm the selection of menu items and
options, and also acts as a ‘’start’’ key to start operations.
2. General Description
39
In the following a description of the user controls is given which are
located on the front of the Pico-4.
ENGLISH
➄ MASTER drive
The MASTER drive is used to hold the source CD. This may be a prerecorded audio CD or CD-ROM which you have permission to copy, or
a CD-R disc. The eject button is used to eject the master disc when no
operation is in progress. The indicator on this drive shows when the
disc is being accessed. In the “Play audio” mode (see 3.5 “Play Audio
Tr a ck ”), a prerecorded CD may be inserted into this drive, and played
back, track by track.
➄
➅
➅ SLAVE drive
The SLAVE drive holds the destination CD. This must be a CD-R or
CD-RW disc. The eject button is used to eject the slave disc when no
operation is in progress. The indicator on this drive shows when the
disc is being accessed for reading or writing.
NOTE
If a disc is in a drive and cannot be removed by using the eject
button, you can insert a thin stiff wire (such as the end of a
paperclip) into the hole on the front panel of the drive (under
the tray). This will open the tray.
40
2. General Description
2.3 Basic Operations
2.3.1 Power-up procedure
When the unit is powered up using the POWER switch ➀, it performs a
self-check operation, and the screen shows the following:
InitializingInitializing
Initializing
InitializingInitializing
Please wait...Please wait...
Please wait...
Please wait...Please wait...
If the self-check is passed, the display will show the first menu screen,
otherwise an error message will be displayed.
2.3.2 Inserting discs
Press the eject button of the MASTER or the SLAVE drives to open the
disc tray. Place discs label side uppermost in the disc tray. If a disc is
placed into a tray upside-down or off-center, an error message will
appear on the display. Close the tray by shifting it into the slot until it is
locked.
2.3.3 Power down
Before powering down the unit, eject discs from all drives (the eject
mechanism requires power to work, and so you will not be able to eject
the discs once power is turned off).
ENGLISH
NOTE
Do not turn off the Pico-4 while writing to the slave discs (i.e.,
part of the way through a disc copy operation). If you do, the
disc will be corrupt, and unusable.
2.3.4 Care of CD-R/CD-RW media
The Compact Disc medium is a robust medium, and the disc can survive a good deal of physical abuse. However, there are precautions
that you should take when handling CD-R discs which are different to
those you should take when handling ordinary CDs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on which you
will be recording. Recording on a disc requires a cleaner surface than
playing back, and fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.
2. General Description
41
CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat than ordinary CDs.
It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
Always, store CD-R discs in their „jewel cases“ to avoid dirt and dust
accumulating on their surfaces.
ENGLISH
When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft felt-tipped pen to write
the information. Never use a ballpoint or hard-lipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth and/or a commerial
CD cleaning fluid or ethyl alcohol.
Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these
will damage the disc. If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.
2.3.5 Discs recommended for use with the Pico-4
The best results and the highest performance are ensured when using
TEAC write-once CD-R media respectively CD-RW media.
Your dealer will tell you the sources of those CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
42
2. General Description
3. MODES
The different modes available are:
– Copy
– Test write
– Compare CD-ROM
– Play audio
– Write speed selection
These are accessed by pressing the MODE key. Details of these modes
are given below.
When the required mode is shown on the top line of the display press
the ENTER key to enter the mode. When the word „Exit“ appears on
the display, the ENTER key will halt the current operation.
3.1 Disc Copy
NOTE
You should own the copyright, or have obtained the appropriate permission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution
thereof, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties under
copyright laws and international copyright treaties
ENGLISH
This procedure copies the material from the disc (either an audio CD
or a CD-ROM) in the MASTER drive to the CD-Rs/CD-RWs in the
SLAVE drives. You may find it useful to test the copy procedure before
committing yourself to an actual copy, however. See 3.2, „Test Write
Mode“ for details.
NOTES
Once a copy operation has started, it cannot be stopped before the disc has been finalized. The only way to stop a copy
operation is to turn off the power to the unit. However, this will
make the CD-R/CD-RW disc useless for any purpose. Do not
use warped discs or discs with off-center holes with the Pico-
4. While the copy operation is in progress, make sure that the
Pico-4 is not subjected to vibration or mechanical shocks.
