15.2 Prescan
This feature allows you to scan and detect any bad sectors existing in the 
Master Disc. It is recommended that you perform a Prescan before starting 
the duplication task for all Master Discs. Approximately 50% of failures 
reported by the duplicator are caused by errors in the Master Disc which 
the Reader couldn’t overcome. When this kind of failure occurs, it tends to 
waste all of your blank recordable medias.
