The drives write to DVD-R/RW and DVD+/R/RW GENERAL PURPOSE media. It will not write to DVD-R Authoring media.
General Operations This section will go over some basic operations that can be applied to more than one function. 3.2.1 Entering Names and Numbers Some functions will require you to enter a name or a number. To enter an alpha numeric character: 1. Press the UP or DOWN button to scroll through the numbers or letters. 2.

Copy 3.4 Copy The Copy function will guide you through making CD/DVD/BD copies. 3.4.1 Making disc to disc copies The Copy process will copy your master disc onto a single or multiple blank discs simultaneously. Due to its simultaneous nature, a master disc in good condition and lower recording speeds are recommended for better quality duplications. Kanguru Solutions 1. Copy Counter : No Counter 1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Copy.
Copy 4. When the number of discs detected matches the number of blank discs you inserted, press the ENT button. You will see the Processing screen. Preparing... Please Wait After 2 or 3 seconds of processing time, the Copy Progress screen will appear. Copying... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages. 5.
Copy 3.4.2 Making copies from an existing hard drive partition (hard drive models only) Using the hard drive as the master copy source is the best way to make copies. Since you won’t need to occupy the Reader drive with a master disc, you will have one additional drive to use for burning copies. Using the hard disc as the master copy source improves: • Performance - Copying from the hard drive enables the writer drives to boost the copying performance to the limit.
Copy After you’ve loaded the drives with discs, close the trays and allow 5 - 10 seconds for the system to detect them. If either of the preparation screens are displayed for more than 2 minutes after you have inserted your discs, please check the quality of the discs. Once all the discs have been recognized, you will see the Confirmation screen. Preparing : 7 Discs Detected : Go? Note: The “7” indicates that there are seven discs recognized by the Writers.
Compare 3.5 Compare The Compare function will perform a bit-by-bit comparison between your master disc (or master image on the hard drive) and all the copies. The reason for performing this Compare operation is to ensure that all of your copies contain data identical to the master. Kanguru Solutions 2. Compare Counter : No Counter 1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Compare. Press the ENT button to enter the Compare menu 2. You will see the Counter screen.
Copy After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Compare Progress screen will appear. Comparing... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages. 5. Once the Compare process has been completed, you will see the following screen. Pass 7 Fail 0 Waiting for Discs ( 7) • • • PASS 7 - number of discs successfully copied.
Copy & Compare 3.6 Copy & Compare This Copy & Compare function combines the Copy function (see section 3.4 Copy, p.14) and the Compare function (see section 3.5 Compare, p.18). When selected a Copy process will begin, and after the Copy process has completed a Compare process is automatically run in order to ensure that the data copied over successfully. Kanguru Solutions 3. Copy & Compare 1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Copy & Compare.
Copy & Compare After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Copy Progress screen will appear. Copying... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages. Once the Copy process has completed, the Compare process will automatically begin. Comparing... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB 5.
Test 3.7 Test The Test function will perform a simulation of the copy process. During this simulation process the Duplicator will test that the master source and target discs will produce error-free duplicates. All blank single-write recordable discs (e.g. DVD-R, CD-R) will be reusable after testing. Due to the physical limitation of DVD+R/RW & BD-R/RE recordable format, you cannot perform the Test function on these formats. If you do so, the LCD screen will display error message 211.
Test After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Test Progress screen will appear. Testing... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication. That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages. 5. Once the Test process has been completed, you will see the following screen. Pass 7 Fail 0 Waiting for Blanks ( 7) • • • PASS 7 - number of discs passed the test.
Test & Copy 3.8 Test & Copy The Test & Copy function combines the Test function (see section 3.7 Test, p.22) and the Copy function (see section 3.4 Copy, p.14). The Test & Copy function will simulate the testing process and once the discs pass the Test process, the Copy process will begin automatically. If there’s an error during the simulation, an error message will be displayed on the screen and the copying process will not be initiated. Kanguru Solutions 5. Test & Copy Counter : No Counter 1.
Test & Copy After 2 to 5 seconds of processing time, the Test Progress screen will appear. Testing... 0 10% 4012MB 401MB Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0-10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds to one minute for duplication.

Once you’ve completed your track selection, you will be instructed to copy them onto blank CD-R media. Mixing through the hard drive is considered a safer method for creating mixed audio tracks compared to mixing directly to CD.
Mix Audio Tracks Total: 6 Trk Are you done? 26m : 17s 5. Once you have finished selecting the tracks for this Audio CD, press the UP or DOWN button until you see the Are you done? screen. Press the ENT button to confirm your selection.

Troubleshooting Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Check that the power cable is securely connected at both ends and that your electrical outlet’s voltage is correct. No display on the LCD or the unit does not operate when the power is on. Make sure the power voltage on the duplicator matches the voltage of your power outlet.
Troubleshooting Do I need to upgrade my system’s firmware? System fails to upgrade firmware. Can I load data directly from my computer to my system’s hard drive? Some writers will not create copies. Unless your Duplicator is unstable, we strongly suggest not upgrading your system’s firmware.
