Welcome!

Our duplicator is a reliable, high performance, high speed,

standalone manual tower duplicator. With its professional industrial

design and simple beginner user interface, it will make your

duplicating experience easier than ever.

******************************************************

Before you start:

Before you start using this duplicator, please read the following to

ensure proper operation:

1. Important Notice:

The type of duplicator you purchase will determine the type of discs

you are able to copy. For example, if you purchased a CD only

duplicator, then you will only be able to copy onto recordable CD

formats. If you purchased a DVD duplicator, then you can copy on

to recordable DVD and CD formats. If you purchased a Blu-Ray

duplicator, then you can copy onto recordable Blu-Ray, DVD, and

CD formats. If you have a Blu-Ray capable duplicator, the term

Blu-Ray can be substituted for CD or DVD within the text of this

user manual.

2. Duplicator Limitations:

The duplicator will not copy any CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray disc that

have Copy Protection encoded inside. Typically, the movies you

purchase or rent from the store will contain copy protection.

In addition to the copy protection limitation, the duplicator cannot

copy across formats. This means that you cannot copy a DVD

master onto a recordable CD. In addition, you cannot copy the same

formats if the discs have different maximum capacity limitations.

This means that you cannot copy a single layer DVD or Blu-Ray

onto a double/dual layer DVD or Blu-Ray or vice versa. The

recordable blanks must be the same format and maximum capacity

as the master disc you intend toduplicate.

- 1 -

3. Temperature Warning:

If the duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature

dropped below 32°F (0°C) within the past 24 hours, please leave the

duplicator in a warm room with temperatures at least 65°F (19°C)

for 4 hours prior to powering it on for the first time. Failure to do so

may cause irreparable harm and prevent the duplicator from

functioning.

4. External Connection Warning:

If you have an external connection installed in your duplicator, you

will see the USB/Firewire sticker(s) on your writer front drive

panel(s). In order to operate the duplicator solely as a standalone

unit (no connection to the computer), you have to make sure all of

the USB/Firewire connection(s) are off. If by any chance, the

USB/Firewire connection(s) are on, please refer to “Setup Guide:

Setup IEEE USB 2.0 / 1394 Firewire device(s)”

5. Maintenance:

It is very important to operate and keep the duplicator in a dust free,

clean environment since dust is the number 1 killer for CD/DVD

recording devices. Failure to do so may severely damage your

duplicator. We strongly suggest you place an Air Cleaner next to the

duplicator and constantly use the Air Duster (Can Air) to clear off

any dust on the surface of the duplicator.

Do not try to use the Air Duster to clean the

duplicator while the reader/writer trays are open. In

doing so, you may inadvertently blow dust into the

recording device and damage the recording device.

6. Proper Shutdown:

To avoid possible system failures, you need to shutdown the

duplicator properly. To shutdown the duplicator, you need to press

“>>” button to “16. Shutdown” and follow instructions on the screen

to shutdown the duplicator properly. Turning off your duplicator

without performing this function will increase the risk of damaging

I. Make Disc-to-Disc Copies

This process will copy your master disc into several blank discs

simultaneously. However, due to its simultaneous nature, a good

conditioned master disc and lower recording speed is necessary

for high success rate and good quality duplications.

When you turn on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you

should see the following signifying your duplicator is ready.

enter/input a 4-digit number. If you are planning to specify a number

that is less than 4 digits, please fill the leading spaces with “0”s (any

leading “0” will be skipped). An example of that 4-digit number

could be “0234” (Two hundred and thirty four), or “0010” (ten).

Remember, the beginning “0”s are skipped, therefore “0010” means

“10”, which is the number 10.

- 7 -

To enter the number, you need to use UP or DOWN button to select

the number for each digit and use “>>” or “<<” button to move the

cursor position right or left, once you’ve finished, move the cursor to

“OK” and press “>>”. For example, if I want to specify a counter

value of 21 (twenty one). The 4-digit value would be “0021”. To

Master Disc and Blank Discs as well. After your Master Disc

and Blank Discs have been recognized, then you shall see the

following screen:

Preparing...

7 Disc Detected, Go?

*The “7” indicates there are 7 discs recognized by

the writer tray. Actual quantity may be different

depending on your machine.

By default, the “Auto Start” setting is set to “Auto”.

For example, if your duplicator has detected 3 blank

discs and didn’t detect any additional blank discs

within 30 seconds, then the duplication will start

automatically.

- 9 -

Once the number of blank discs you inserted

matches the number of discs detected on the screen.

Then press “>>” (if you are not using Auto Start or

wish to speed up the process) to confirm and the

following Processing screen will appear.

made 0 copies so far.

It is normal to see the progress indicator stays at 0-

10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds for CD

duplication and up to 1 minute for DVD duplication.

That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stage.

- 10 -

Once the duplication run is completed, the successful copies

will be ejected and you shall see the following screen:

PASS 7 FAIL 0( 7)

Waiting for Blanks

“PASS 7” indicates that you’ve

just made 7 successful copies.

“FAIL 0” indicates that you

have no failure in this run.

“7” indicates that you’ve

successfully copied 7 copies so

far.

Next, refill more blank media to continue making more

copies, or you can press “<<” to terminate your project and

go back to the main menu.

If you’ve specified a counter value for your project and your

project is completed, you shall see the following screen:

Press OK to Finish

If you see above message, you can press “>>” to go back to

main menu.

If you enabled the counter and the number of discs

you have inserted is more than what you requested,

you will receive a message regarding you have

inserted more discs than what you need. You can

continue to copy or you can eject the extras.

If you happen to have any failed discs (bad copy), the

failed disc(s) will not be ejected automatically. You

need to manually eject them and throw them away if

they are write once recordable disc(s).

Tutorial Guide:

II. Make Hard Drive(HDD)-to-Disc Copies (For Duplicator w/

HDD installed)

Copying from the Hard Drive is the best way to make copies.

Overall, there are 4 benefits to copying from the Hard Drive:

i. Performance – Duplicating from the Hard Drive will be

able to boost the DVD duplication speed to 8x or above.

ii. Stability – Duplicating from Hard Drive will stabilize the

duplication process compared to the Disc to Disc

duplicating.

iii. Durability – Hard Drive is a much better storage device

than DVD recordable discs. First of all, DVD recordable

discs are composed of chemical materials tend to degrade

over a period of time while Hard Drives are made of

magnetic disks which will last over 100 years. Secondly,

DVD recordable discs are often exposed and can very

easily be scratched on its surface, while Hard Drives are

covered with metal and mounted inside the duplicator.

iv. Convenience – With your master discs stored inside the

Hard Drive, you can have access to each one easily. There

is no need to carry your master discs; they are all stored

inside the duplicator.

If your duplicator has a Hard Drive installed, a partition will be

created whenever you begin to load to a new partition. The

capacity of the created partition will be the same as the size of

your master disc rounded up to the next Gigabyte.

The number of partitions the hard drive can hold is determined

by the capacity of your hard drive and the size of the partitions

you created.

- 12 -

For example, if you have an 80GB Hard Drive with a system

capacity of 74GB.* You can load 74 CDs or 19 DVDs (given a

4GB average capacity).

*There are many factors that could contribute to the capacity

difference between the advertised capacity and the actual

capacity:

1. Hard Drive Manufactures use conversion rate of 1GB = 1

Billion Bytes or 1000^3 Bytes. However, most Operating

Systems, including our Duplication System use standard

conversion rate of 1GB = 1.074 Billion Bytes or 1024^3

Bytes. Therefore, for an advertised 80GB Hard Drive (80

Billion Bytes), the Duplication System capacity is actually

74.5 Billion Bytes (74.5GB).

2. In addition, we round off all fractions of a GB to the lower

whole number. That means for a hard drive that has a 74.5GB

system capacity, we only recognize and utilize 74GB.

The following steps will show you how to load your master disc

into the installed Hard Drive as a partition and copy the stored

partition onto blank discs. This process is recommended for mass

volume production.

How to make copies from the Hard Drive?

Tutorial Guide:

III. Select the Duplication Speed

This process will allow you to adjust the duplication speed

subject to your various needs.

By default, the duplication speed will be set to the optimal

speed. However, under some circumstances, you might want to

lower down the duplication speed. Those circumstances are as

follows:

• Poor Blank Media Quality – When your media quality is

not good, lowering down the duplication speed is

necessary to make good copies.

• Poor Master Disc Quality – If your master disc

condition is not good, lowering down the duplication

speed will reduce the failure rates greatly.

• Duplication Quality – Overall, the lower the speed, the

higher the quality of your duplicates. If you have time, it

is a good choice to lower down the speed to produce the

best quality duplicates.

When you turn on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you

should see the following signifying your duplicator is ready.

IV. Select the Master Reading Source

When you try to make a copy, you need to specify where the

master disc is. Is it in the Reader tray? Or is it an Image inside

the Hard Drive? This tutorial will show you how to change the

Master Reading Source to satisfy your needs.

Basically, there are 3 scenarios that require you to select the

Master Reading Source.

• Disc-to-Disc copy (Copy from 1^stTray) – This is the case

when you would normally make copies on the fly. You

need to set the “Reader” as your Master Reading Source.

• Hard Drive-to-Disc copy (if Hard Drive installed) – If you

want to make copies from your Hard Drive Image, you

need to select the source as “Hard Drive”.

There are four benefits to copy from Hard Drive:

i. Performance – Duplicating form the Hard Drive will

be able to boost the DVD duplication speed to 8x or

above.

ii. Stability – Duplicating from Hard Drive will stabilize

the duplication process compared to the Disc to Disc

duplicating.

iii. Durability – Hard Drive is a much better storage

device than DVD recordable discs. First of all, DVD

recordable discs are composed of chemical materials

tend to degrade over a period of time while Hard

Drives are made of magnetic disks which will last

over 100 years. Secondly, DVD recordable discs are

often exposed and can very easily be scratched on its

surface, while Hard Drives are covered with metal

and mounted inside the duplicator.

- 27 -

iv. Convenience – With your master discs stored inside

the Hard Drive, you can have access to each one

easily. There is no need to carry your master discs;

they are all stored inside the duplicator.

• Disc-to-Disc copy (Copy from 2nd Tray) – This is the case

when your master disc is full of scratches. You would need

to use the Writer Tray as your Master Reading Source to

make a copy and use the new copy as your new master to

make more copies.

When you turn on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you

should see the following signifying your duplicator is ready.

Tutorial Guide:

Load Master Disc onto the Hard Drive

In order to copy from the Hard Drive, you are required to load your

master disc onto a hard drive partition.

The number of partitions the hard drive can hold is determined

by the capacity of your hard drive and the size of the partitions

you created.

For example, if you have an 80GB Hard Drive with a system

capacity of 74GB.* You can load 74 CDs or 19 DVDs (given a

4GB average capacity).

*There are many factors that could contribute to the capacity

difference between the advertised capacity and the actual

capacity:

1. Hard Drive Manufactures use conversion rate of 1GB = 1

Billion Bytes or 1000^3 Bytes. However, most Operating

Systems, including our Duplication System use standard

conversion rate of 1GB = 1.074 Billion Bytes or 1024^3

Bytes. Therefore, for an advertised 80GB Hard Drive (80

Billion Bytes), the Duplication System capacity is actually

74.5 Billion Bytes (74.5GB).

2. In addition, we round off all fractions of a GB to the lower

whole number. That means for a hard drive that has a 74.5GB

system capacity, we only recognize and utilize 74GB.

The following steps will show you how to load your master disc

into the installed Hard Drive as a partition and copy the stored

partition onto blank discs. This process is recommended for mass

volume production.

- 30 -

To load your master disc onto a hard drive partition, please do the

following:

1. Make sure the Master Reading Source is set to the Hard

Drive.

3. Recorder Writing Speed*

*The recordable DVD media must be certified 8x or higher in order

to have 8x or higher recorder writing speed.

If any or all of the above 3 factors fail to meet the 8x or up higher

certification, under any circumstances, you will encounter bottleneck

symptoms which will delay your duplication time and reduce your

duplication quality.

When making duplications directly from the master disc to the blank

disc; you often cannot maintain true 8x speed throughout the

duplication process. Unfortunately, due to physical recordable DVD

limitations, most DVD master discs can not be read at 8x or higher

speeds continuously. Often the reader will fall behind the burners

and the whole process will have to slow down.

In order to avoid this issue, first load the master disc into the hard

drive and make all duplications through the hard drive. To duplicate

form the Hard Drive, you need to load your DVD master disc into a

Hard Drive partition. Once loaded, make copies from the Hard

Drive partition as you would from the master disc. This process can

be a little complicated and requires certain knowledge of the

duplicator in order to operate.

To simplify this process for anyone, we introduced a new feature

called “Load and Copy” under the new category “Duplication

Mode”. This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive”

- 58 -

process to a single step!

There are two features under “Duplication modes”:

On the Fly:

This mode instructs the duplicator to copy directly from the master

disc. The duplicator performs simultaneous read and write

operations without any delays.

Advantage:

Ideal for small quantity quick duplication.

Disadvantage:

Requires a master disc for each and every run. (Could

be harmful for the master disc)

Maximum DVD duplication speed is typically limited

under 8x.

Requires the master disc to be in excellent condition

for error free duplication.

Load and Copy:

This mode instructs the duplicator to load your master disc into the

built-in hard drive partition called “Reserved” and make the

requested quantity of copies directly from the hard drive. The

content will remain stored in the “Reserved” partition, available for

future duplications of the same project until you perform this

function again with a new master or manually rename or delete the

content from Hard Drive Setup. Once a new master is used for Load

and Copy, the “Reserved” partition will be overridden or one will be

created if it didn’t exist.

Advantage:

Faster duplication in a long run.

- 59 -

(Un-Restricted DVD Duplication speed supported by

the duplication blank media)

Stable duplication.

Reliable duplication

Disadvantage:

The loading time may have an impact on overall

duplication time for small duplication jobs.

The master disc will be loaded to the reserve partition

in the Hard Drive temporarily until a new master is

loaded and overrides the previous image.

In comparing this duplication mode with the traditional “Duplication

from Hard Drive” process, it offers the user more simplicity. By

selecting the “Load and Copy” mode via one simple touch, all the

necessary tasks will be automated for you and loaded on to the

“Reserved” partition. You can rename the data on the “Reserved”

partition and place it in a standard partition if you wish to keep it.

(This must be done prior to loading a new master through “Load and

Copy)”.

By default, the duplication mode is set to “Auto”. This will prompt

you to choose between one of the duplication modes when you enter

any of the following functions: “Copy”, “Test”, “Test + Copy”, and

“Copy + Compare”.

However, if you prefer not to be prompted each time, you can

always go to “12. Setup” and select sub-menu 9 and manually reset

it. To do so, please follow the below steps:

When you turn on the duplicator, you shall see following:

XII. Using AUTOCOPY

- 61 -

The AutoCopy function allows you to copy from Disc to

Disc automatically without pressing any keys. It is the

simplest way to make CD/DVD copies. The following

tutorial will show you how to use this feature.

1. Use the UP or DOWN arrow button to navigate to the

following screen.

DUPLICATOR 1.00

15.AutoCopy

2. Press “>>” to enter the AutoCopy Mode and you shall see the

following:

AUTOCOPY

Waiting for Master

3. Now, insert your Master Disc into the top Reader Tray and

your Blank Discs into corresponding Writer Trays. Be sure to

close the trays after you load the discs into them. (You can

automatically close all trays by press the “>>” when the

screen shows “Waiting for Blanks”

4. Please allow 5-10 seconds for the duplicator to detect your

Master Disc and Blank Discs. After your Master Disc and

Blank Discs have been recognized, then you shall see the

following screen:

Processing...

Please Wait

5. After 2 or 3 seconds of processing time, the following Copy

Progress Screen will appear.

Copying ... 4012MB

0 12% 481MB

- 62 -

“4012MB” indicates the capacity of the master disc.

“481MB” indicates the current progress of the

duplication in terms of MB

“12%” indicates the current progress of the

duplication.

“0” indicates that you have made 0 copies so far.

It is normal to see the progress indicator stays at 0-

10% and 100% for approximately 30 seconds for CD

duplication and up to 1 minute for DVD duplication.

That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stage.

6. Once the duplication run is completed, the successful copies

will be ejected and you shall see the following screen:

PASS 7 FAIL 0( 7)

Waiting for Blanks

“PASS 7” indicates that you’ve

just made 7 successful copies.

“FAIL 0” indicates that you

have no failure in this run.

“7” indicates that you’ve

successfully copied 7 copies so

far.

Next, refill your Blank Discs to continue making more

copies. If you wish to copy a new Master Disc, you will need

to remove the old master and load the new master discs prior

to loading any new blank discs into the writer trays.

If you have a failed disc(s) (bad copy), the failed

disc(s) will not be ejected automatically. You need to

manually eject the disc(s) and discard it if it’s a write

once recordable disc(s).

- 63 -

Menu Overview:

1. COPY

This menu will guide you to make CD/DVD/BD copies. Before

you enter this menu to copy, please make sure you have

selected the correct Master Reading Source. For more

information, please refer to “Tutorial Guide I – Make Disc-to-

Disc Copies” or “Tutorial Guide II – Make Hard

Drive(HDD)-to-Disc Copies”

2. TEST

This menu will guide you to make simulation of copying

process. During this simulation process, all write once

recordable discs such as (DVD-R, CD-R) will be reusable. The

purpose of performing such simulation is to ensure error free

duplication.

Due to the physical limitation of DVD+R/RW & BD-

R/RE recordable format, you can not perform this

procedure if your recordable discs are DVD+R/RW &

BD-R/RE recordable format. If you do so, you will

encounter failure messages.

If you are using CD-RW/DVD-RW discs as your

blanks media during the simulation, all of the content

inside those discs will be ereased permanently.

3. COMPARE

This menu will guide you to perform a bit-by-bit comparison

between the Master Reading Source and all the copied discs

inside the writer tray. The purpose to perform this compare

operation is to ensure all of your copies have the exactly same

information as your Master Reading Source.

- 65 -

4. TEST + COPY

This menu will guide you to perform the simulation of copying

process and if everything has passed during the simulation, a

real copying process will be performed. If there’s an error

encountered during the simulation, an error message will be

displayed and the copying process will not be initiated.

5. COPY + COMPARE

This menu will guide you to make copies for you and after the

copy process has been finished, it will perform an additional

comparison process automatically to ensure data correctness.

6. VERIFY

This menu will guide you to perform Disc Readalibility Check.

This operation will check the readiblity of your mater discs and

the copied discs. The purpose to perform this verify operation is

to ensure all of your copies are readable.

7. SELECT BURN SPEED

This menu will guide you to adjust the duplication speed on

various duplication modes. For more information, please refer

to “Tutorial Guide III –Select the Duplication Speed”

prefer to navigate this duplicator. Current supported

languages are Spanish, English, etc.

12.2 Auto Start

This setting will allow you to choose Auto, Full or Off.

When it is Full, This feature will allow the duplicator to

copy automatically once your master disc and all of the

writer trays of the duplicator are fulfilled with recordable

media.

- 67 -

When it is Off, the copy process requires you to press “>>”

button to confirm the duplication.

When it is Auto, if your duplicator has detected 3 blank

discs on a 4 target or higher duplicator for example and

didn’t detect any additional blank discs for 30 seconds, then

the duplication will be started automatically.

However, in order for this feature to take effect, you need

to be inside the operation menu such as COPY, TEST,

TEST+COPY, COPY+COMPARE, etc.

12.3 Read Error Skip

Normally, when the duplicator encountered a reading error

while reading your master disc, all the duplication will be

aborted and all the recordable media will be ruined.

However, if you believe that your master disc has a small,

insignificant error due to physical damages, you can enable

the setting to allow the duplicator to skip any read error* it

has encountered.

*This function will not fix the error; it will only skip it to

make the rest of the data readable.

12.4 CD Writing Mode

This setting will allow you to select which mode you would

like to duplicate a CD. There are two different modes,

“Disc at Once” and “Track at Once”. Unless you

understand completely what they mean, we strongly

suggest you to set it as “Disc at Once”.

12.5 Max Audio, VCD & CDG Speed

Audio CD’s and Video CD’s do not have internal error

checking capability, so duplicating at too high a speed may

cause frequent errors. This setting will allow you to adjust

the maximum duplication speed for Audio and Video CD.

12.9 Duplication Mode

To simplify Hard Drive loading and copying process for

anyone, we introduced a new feature called “Load and

Copy” in addition to “On the Fly” under the new category

“Duplication Mode”.

This feature reduces the “Duplication from Hard Drive”

process to a single step!

For more information, please refer to “Tutorial Guide XI

– Introduction to Duplication Mode.”

12.10 Counter

This option will allow you to enable/disable the Counter

feature by turning this feature ON or OFF. This feature will

notify you how many discs have been copied and how

many discs are left to go.

- 69 -

12.11 DVD+R High Compatibility Mode

This feature will allow you to enable/disable the DVD+R

High Compatibility Mode feature by turning this feature

ON or OFF. The purpose of this feature is to increase the

compatibility of DVD+R media with a broader range of

DVD Video players. This process will increase the amount

of time required to duplicate your disc(s).

12.12 ISRC

This option will allow you to enable/disable copying ISRC

code of the Audio CD. ISRC is the serial# of the audio

tracks that uniquely identifies the song in that audio track.

This ISRC code is commonly found in commercial Audio

CD and rarely seen on the home made Audio CDs. By

enabling this feature, the duplication performance will be

lowered.

12.13 Disable Drives

This feature allows you to disable certain drives/trays when

those drives/trays are producing high failure rates or not

functioning properly.

12.14 USB Connection / Firewire Connection (Optional)

This feature will allow you to turn on/off the USB /

Firewire port on the back of your duplicator. This option

will allow a Writer on the duplicator to be controlled by a

PC. This feature will only be visible if supported

USB/Firewire Connections were installed.

is changed.

13. Utility

13.1 Disc Info

If you are uncertain about the type of blank recordable

media you are using, the duplicator is equipped with the

disc info function to help identify and notify you of the disc

information encoded within.

- 70 -

This function (Disc Info) can be found in the “Utility”

menu. This feature will identify your blank recordable

Media’s format, capacity, manufacture ID as well as the

Media’s certified writing speed.

- This feature only applies to media in the

recording trays.

13.2 Prescan

Approximately 50% of failures reported by our duplicator

are caused by errors in the master disc which our Reader

couldn’t overcome. When this kind of failure occurs, it

tends to waste all of your blank recordable medias.

To help detect flaws in the master disc prior to performing

the duplicating process, we introduce the “Prescan” feature.

This feature will scan and detect any bad sectors existing in

the master disc. It is recommended to perform this feature

before starting the duplication task for all master discs. By

doing so you can prevent wasting the blank media if there

is an error in the master disc.

13.3 System Info

By entering this menu, you will be able to see the many

specification of your duplicator such as the firmware

version, CPU type, RAM capacity. You can check the

Trouble Shooting

1. No display on LCD or the unit does not operate when

the power is on.

Check the connection of power cable and the environment of

power outlet is normal.

Make sure the power voltage matches the voltage of your

power outlet.

If the duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature

dropped below 32°F (0°C) within the past 24 hours, leave the

duplicator in a warm room with temperatures at least 65°F

(19°C) for 4 hours prior to powering it on.



2. READER cannot read disc.



Check the format of the master CD/DVD or the master

CD/DVD itself for damage.



Your master disc may be copy protected. Normally, most of the

DVD and some of the CD you have purchase from stores have

been copy protected.



Use the Writers to read your master disc by selecting one of

writers as the Master Reading Source (Please refer to “Tutorial

IV – Select the Master Reading Source”); if it works, make a

copy of your master disc and treat the copy as the new master.

Then set the Master Reading Source back to the READER and

3. Buttons do not function.



Maybe it is still busy on a task. Give it sometime and press it

again. If it still doesn’t work, turn off the machine, and then

restart the machine after a minute.

4. Copy completed but the copies are not readable /

executable?



Use “compare” feature to check the copied disc.

Based on our experience, the quality of your media plays a big

role on this part. Try to use high quality media to prevent such

problems.



Please 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.

- 73 -

5. The failure rate is high.



Lower the “write speed” and try again. Please refer to “Tutorial
