media to prevent such problems.
• Use another DVD/CD player/ROM to test the copied media. Sometimes, your DVD/CD Player/ROM may
not be compatible with recordable DVD/CD disc.

Can I load data directly from my computer to my autoloader's Hard Drive?

can't perform any read/write operations to the Hard Drive from your computer.
How do I reset my autoloader back to default?
• See Load Default on page 23.
