Functions:
1. Copy – This command will copy the master disc placed in the designated Source Drive to
all target discs in the Writer Drives. This process burns all information contained on the
master disc to the target discs so the copies are exact duplicates of the master disc.

To Start the Copy Process:

1. Power on the machine (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated
Source Drive (usually the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are
made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number
of drives used depends on number of copies desired. It is not necessary to always
use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “1. Copy” and press the ENT button.
The drives will automatically close trays and begin the copy process.
5. Once the copy process is completed, the disc trays will eject and the display will
read “Copy Result:
Pass X, Fail Y,” with X being the number of successful copies, and Y being the
number of failed copies. To reduce copy failure, please refer to the troubleshooting
section of the manual.

2. Test – This command will simulate the copy process and make sure all target discs are
usable. The test process does NOT burn anything to the blank disc(s). A built-in
diagnostic algorithm is used to verify the chance of successful copy for each target disc.

To start the Test Process:

1. Power on the machine (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated
Source Drive (usually the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are
made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the tray(s). Number
of drives used depends on number of discs to be tested. It is not necessary to always
use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “2. Test” and press the ENT button. The
drives will automatically close trays and begin the test process.
5. Once the test process is complete, the disc trays will eject and the display will read
“Test Result: Pass X, Fail Y, with X being the number of discs that passed the test,
and Y being the number of failed copies. Use discs that have passed the test for the
actual duplication.

3. Compare – This command compares copied disc(s) to the master disc and ensures that
the copies are exact duplicates of the master disc. This command is especially useful for
DVDs, data CDs and
video CDs.

Note: The Compare process is a bit-by-bit comparison between the master disc and the copied discs. This
operation ensures
that all of the copies are completely identical to the Master disc. This command is not applicable to audio CDs.

To start the Compare process, please follow the instructions below.

1. Power on the machine (if not already on).
2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated
Source Drive (usually the top). The “master disc” is the original of which copies are
made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place copied disc(s) to be compared on the
tray(s).

Number of drives used depends on number of copies to be compared. It is not
necessary to always use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the command “3. Compare” and press the ENT
button. The drives
will automatically close trays and begin the compare process.
5. Once the compare process is complete, the trays will eject the discs that have
passed the compare process.

4. Copy & Compare – This command will perform the copy process, and immediately
follows with a comparison between the master disc and the copied disc(s) to ensure the
copies are exact duplicates of the master disc. This command is especially useful for
DVDs, data CDs and video CDs.

Note: The Compare process is a bit-by-bit comparison between the master disc and the copied discs. This
operation ensures that all of the copies are completely identical to the Master disc. This command is not
applicable to audio CDs.

2. Eject disc tray of the Source Drive and place the master disc in the designated
Source Drive (usually the top). The “master disc” is the original of which
copies are made.
3. Eject disc tray(s) of the Writer Drives and place blank disc(s) on the
tray(s). Number of drives used depends on number of copies desired. It is
not necessary to always use all drives.
4. Use the scroll buttons to select the “4. Copy & Compare” command and
press the ENT button. The drives will automatically close trays and begin
the copy process.
5. Once the copy process is complete, the tray(s) will open briefly, and then
automatically close again to begin the compare process.

Basic Troubleshooting:
Follow these simple steps for quick and proper troubleshooting.

1. Power does not turn on or unit receives no power.

a. Check power cord and outlet to make sure power connections are secured.
b. Check voltage switch on the back of the duplicator to make sure power supply
is set for correct outlet rating.
c. Test with another power cord (same as a PC power cord) to eliminate cable
failure.

2. Master disc cannot be read

a. Change the master disc. The master disc may be of poor quality or with error(s)
that can make duplication difficult or impossible.

17
 b. Remake the master disc on another disc. Master disc may be of poor quality
or with error(s) that make duplication difficult or impossible.
c. Change the source drive to one of the other drives to test.
d. Make sure the master disc is finalized in standard ISO format.

3. High failure rate

a. Change the media type. Certain types of media may not be compatible with the
drives. Poor-quality media can also cause high failure rate.
b. Lower the burn speed and attempt another copy process. Lowering the speed
increases
the stability of the duplication process.
c. Check for available firmware updates for the unit. A firmware update may resolve
any unspecified issues.

4. Machine locks up during the copy process

a. Hold down the ESC button to abort the copy process. The copy process will
cancel and menu goes back to the last function executed.
b. If the button cancel does not work, power cycle the unit (power the unit off, leave
off for five seconds and power the unit back on).
c. Change the master disc. A master disc with error(s) or a poor quality master disc
can cause duplication to lock up at particular points during the copy process.

5. Button(s) do not function on the unit.

a. The duplicator may be busy. Buttons pressed while the duplicator is processing
will not perform functions unless otherwise specified.
b. Possible faulty button. Contact your technical support department for further
information.

6. One of the drives does not open and/or LED does not light up
a. Check USB and/or Firewire port switch and make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before machine power is turned on.
b. If a disc is stuck inside a drive, insert a paper clip or safety pin in the pinhole
underneath the drive door and push gently. Make sure the power is OFF during
this step. Then press the EJECT button of the drive a few times to test the disc
tray.

7. The blank CD or DVD disc is not recognized in the writer drive(s)

a. Test the blank disc in another writer drive. A faulty writer drive will not recognize
blank discs.
b. Change the blank disc to another disc. A defective blank disc will not be
recognized
by the writer drive.
c. Change the brand of media or media type. Certain types of media may not be
compatible with the drives. Poor-quality media can also cause high failure rate.
