Tro\fbleshooting
1.	No	display	on	LCD	or	the	unit	does	not	operate	when	the	power 	is	on.
 ▪Check the power cable connection and the power outlet.
 ▪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.	Cannot	read	source	disc.
 ▪Check the format of the master BD/DVD/CD or the master BD/DVD/CD 
itself for damage.
 ▪Your Master Disc may be copy protected. Normally, most of the BD/
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 the tutorial: Select	the	Source	
drive”). if it works, make a copy of your Master Disc and treat the copy as 
the new master. Then set the Source back to the drive and try again.
3.	Buttons	do	not	function.
 ▪The duplicator may still be busy with a task. Give it a moment and press 
it again. If it still doesn’t work, turn off the machine, and then restart the 
machine after one minute.
4.	Copy	completed	but	the	copies	are	not	readable	/	executable?
 ▪Use the “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 BD/DVD/CD player/ROM to test the copied media. 
Sometimes, your BD/DVD/CD Player/ROM may not be compatible with 
recordable BD/DVD/CD disc.
5.	The	failure	rate	is	high.
 ▪Lower the “write speed” and try again. Please refer to the tutorial: “Select 
Burn Speed.”
 ▪Quality of blank disc may be poor.
 ▪Quality of your Master Disc may be poor.

your duplicator’s firmware. Please contact our Tech Support if your system 
is getting unstable.

EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY 
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OF ITEMS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
