Audio CD Editing
This procedure will guide you in using the “Mix Audio Tracks” feature. This process 
allows you to combine audio tracks from various CDs into a single customized

the duplicator can make it an audio CD. The following are temporary storage 
location choices:

Choosing “Hard Drive” as the temporary storage location, you will be instructed 
to load your music files onto the Hard Drive. After all of your favorite songs are 
selected, you will be instructed to copy them onto a blank 80 min. CD-R media.
• Blank CD-R Media:
Choosing “Blank CD-R” as the temporary storage location, you will be 
instructed to copy your music files onto a blank CD-R you’ve inserted. After you 
are finished, you will be instructed to finalize the CD-R disc.

Introduction to Manage Accounts 
The “Manage Accounts” feature allows the administrator to:
• Create user accounts and passwords to prevent unauthorized use of the 
duplicator.
• View existing user account lists.
• Edit existing user account information, including name and password.
• Delete existing user account(s).
• Enable/Disable the Manage Accounts feature.
The “Manage Accounts” feature is disabled by default. Prior to activating this 
feature, the duplicator recognizes all users as the only activated user defined as the 
administrator. The pre-defined password for this function is “0000”.
With this feature enabled additional users will have their own settings and have 
access only to the hard drive partitions they have loaded. No one else will have the 
permission to access these settings/partitions other than the Administrator.
For example, if USER1 logged-in and loaded a Master Disc to the hard drive 
partition (Partition A), and USER2 logs-in, USER2 will not have access to any 
partition loaded by USER1, which includes partition A.
To take advantage of this feature, use the following instructions:
1. Change the Administrator password. Please refer to Feature Overview “3. Edit 
User Info” on page 54 of this User Guide for more information.
2. Create a User Name and Password for every authorized person on this 
duplicator. Please refer to Feature Overview “2. Create User” on page 54 of this 
User Guide for more information.
3. Enable the “Manage Accounts” feature by turning on the “Password on Boot 
UP” setting. Please refer to “Password on Bootup” on page 55 of this User 
Guide for more information.
Note: This duplicator comes with standard license which allows you 
to create up to 32 users.
