Select B\frn 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 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.
Turn on your duplicator. After it has finished booting up, you will see the following 
display.

Select the So\frce d\Brive
When making a copy, you will need to specify where the master is. Is it in the Source 
drive? 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 Source drive.
1. Disc-to-Disc copy (Copy from 1st Tray) – This is the case when you would 
normally make copies on the fly. You need to set the “Source drive” as your 
Master Reading Source.
2. Hard Drive-to-Disc copy – If you want to make copies from your Hard Drive 
Image, you need to select the source as “Hard Drive”.
There are three benefits to copy from Hard Drive:
a. Performance – Duplicating form the Hard Drive will be able to boost 
duplication speeds.
b. Stability – Duplicating from Hard Drive will stabilize the duplication 
process compared to the Disc to Disc duplicating.
c. 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.
3. 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 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.
a. Navigate to Source Selection Menu.
Press UP or DOWN arrow button to navigate to the following screen.

A\fdio 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 
audio CD.
To use this feature you need a temporary storage location to hold your music before 
the duplicator can make it an audio CD. The following are temporary storage 
location choices:
• Hard Drive:
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.
1. Turn on the duplicator. After the bootup is complete, you will see the following 
display:
