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.
