  TASCAM CD-D4000 MKII 
1 - Introduction 
The TASCAM CD-D4000 MKII CD duplicator pro-
vides you with a quick and simple method of copy-
ing your original audio material in CD format at 
more than real-time speeds, using easily-obtainable, 
low-cost CD-R media, with no auxiliary equipment 
or computer system required.
It is especially useful for duplicating material pro-
duced using TASCAM CD-RW recorders on CD-
RW media, which may be unplayable on certain 
types of CD player. The CD-D4000 MKII can read 
CD-RW discs produced on CD-RW recorders for 
easy duplication.
The CD-D4000 MKII can also be used to duplicate 
CD-ROM material to which you own copyright or 
for which you have appropriate permission. 
NOTE 
This product is designed to help you record and 
reproduce sound works to which you own the 
copyright, or where you have obtained permission 
from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor. 
Unless you own the copyright, or have obtained 
the appropriate permission from the copyright 
owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized 
recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may 
result in severe civil and criminal penalties under 
copyright laws and international copyright treaties. 
If you are uncertain about your rights, contact your 
legal advisor. Under no circumstances will TEAC 
Corporation be responsible for the consequences 
of any illegal copying performed using the CD- 
D4000 MKII. 
Depending on the quality of the source CD (audio 
CD, CD-R, CD-RW or CD-ROM), it is possible to 
copy material at up to eight times the real-time rate 
(selectable from the front panel), making it conve-
nient for rapid duplication of a number of identical 
discs, etc.
Depending on the content of the source CD, you may 
not be able to read it, or to make a completely accu-
rate copy of the source. 
Making multiple copies of the same disc may 
degrade the sound quality. 
NOTE 
Although the operation of the CD-D4000 MKII is 
relatively straightforward, we strongly suggest that 
you read this manual before starting operations. 
There are a few factors affecting the production of 
CD-R discs using the CD-D4000 MKII which may  
not be immediately obvious.

The 2 x 16 LCD display displays the menus and sub-
menus available, and also provides information on 
the status of the current operation, as well as display-
ing error messages, etc. 
3 
MODE key 
The  
MODE   
key is used to cycle through the different 
menus and options available to put the unit into the 
different modes, as explained below. 
4 
ENTER key 
The  
ENTER 
 key is used to conÞrm the selection of 
menu items and options. It also acts as a ÒstartÓ key 
to start operations. 
5 
MASTER drive 
The  
MASTER 
 drive is used to hold the source CD. 
This may be a pre-recorded audio CD or CD-ROM 
which you have permission to copy, a CD-R or a CD-
RW disc.
The eject button is used to eject the master disc when no operation is in progress. The indicator on this 
drive shows when the disc is being accessed.
In the ÒPlay audioÓ mode (see 7.1, Play audio 
track), a pre-recorded CD may be inserted into this 
drive, and played back, track by track. The head-
phone jack and volume controls of this drive are 
operational in this mode only. 
6  
SLAVE drive 
The   
SLAVE  
 drive holds the destination CD. This 
must be a CD-R disc. The CD-D4000 MKII cannot 
record on CD-RW discs (but can use them in the   
MASTER  
 drive as source discs).
The eject button is used to eject the slave disc when 
no operation is in progress. The indicator on this 
drive shows when the disc is being accessed for read-
ing or writing.
In the ÒPlay audioÓ mode (see 7.1, Play audio 
track), an audio CD may be inserted into this drive, 
and played back. The headphone jack and volume 
controls of this drive are operational in this mode 
only. 
NOTE 
If a disc is in a drive and cannot be removed by 
using the eject button, you can insert a thin stiff 
wire (such as the end of a paperclip) into the hole 
on the front panel of the drive (under the tray). This  
will open the tray. 
Spare parts for the repair of this product will 
be available for Þve years following the dis-
continuation of production.

  TASCAM CD-D4000 MKII 
3 - Care of CD-R media 
The Compact Disc medium is a robust medium, and 
the discs can survive a good deal of physical abuse. 
However, there are precautions that you should take 
when handling CD-R discs which are different to 
those you should take when handling ordinary CDs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a 
disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a 
disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and 
Þngerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the 
recording process.
CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat 
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is impor-
tant that they are not stored in a location where direct 
sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from 
sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating 
electrical devices.
Always store CD-R discs in their Òjewel casesÓ to 
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs 
and do not use any protective coating spray.
When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oil-
based felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never 
use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause 
damage to the recorded side.Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth 
and/or a commercial CD cleaning ßuid or ethyl alco-
hol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP 
cleaning ßuid, as these will damage the disc.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of 
a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with the 
disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly. 
3.1 Discs recommended for use  
with the CD-D4000 MKII 
CD-R discs from the following manufacturers are 
recommended for use with the CD-D4000 MKII: 
Mitsui, TDK, Mitsubishi , Taiyo Yuden, Kodak, Pio-
neer Video, Fuji Photo Film, Ricoh and Hitachi 
(Maxell) or disks from these manufacturers which 
have been repackaged on an OEM basis. 
3.2 Cleaning of lenses 
It is important that you do not use CD lens cleaners 
(including CD-R or CD-ROM lens cleaners) with the 
CD-D4000 MKII. The reason for this is that the 
drives in this unit rotate at a much higher speed than 
those of an audio CD unit, and accordingly, the 
pickup lenses of the drives may be damaged by an 
ordinary CD lens cleaner.

4 - Basic operations 
4.1 Power-up procedure 
When the unit is Þrst powered up using the power 
switch   
1  
, it performs a self-check operation, and the 
screen shows the following:
followed by 
: 
If the self-check is passed, the display will show the 
Þrst menu screen, otherwise an error message will be 
displayed. 
4.2 Inserting discs 
Press the eject button of the   
MASTER  
 or the   
SLAVE  
 drive to open the disc tray.
Place discs label side uppermost in the disc tray.
To insert the discs into the   
MASTER  
 drive, you may 
Þnd it useful to place the front of the disc into the 
disc tray Þrst, and then seat the back of the disc into 
the tray.
If a disc is placed into a tray upside-down or off-cen-
ter, an error message will appear on the display.
You can close the disc trays by pressing the eject but-
ton on the drive (though many operations will close 
the disc trays automatically). 
4.3 Power down 
Before powering down the unit, eject discs from both 
drives (the eject mechanism requires power to work, 
and so you will not be able to eject the discs once 
power is turned off). 
NOTE 
Do not turn off the CD-D4000 MKII while writing to 
the slave disc (i.e. part of the way through a disc 
copy operation. If you do, the disc will be corrupt,  
and unusable. 
4.4 Modes 
The different modes available are:
¥ Copy
¥ Test write
¥ Compare CD-ROM
¥ Play audio
¥ Write speed selection
These are accessed by pressing the   
MODE  
 key. 
Details of these modes are given below.
When the required mode is shown on the lower line 
of the display, press the   
ENTER  
 key to enter the 
mode.
When the word

5 - Disc copy 
NOTE 
You should own the copyright, or have obtained 
the appropriate permission from the copyright 
owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized 
recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may 
result in severe civil and criminal penalties under  
copyright laws and international copyright treaties. 
This procedure copies the material from the disc 
(either an audio CD or a CD-ROM) in the   
MASTER
 
 
drive to the CD-R in the   
SLAVE
 
 drive. Note, how-
ever, that when copying an audio disc, to save time 
taken when making copies, the CD-D4000 MKII 
does not copy index information.
 
5.1 Setting the writing speed 
The CD-D4000 MKII   
SLAVE
 
 drive is capable of 
writing information to a CD-R disc at normal ( 
1X
 
), 
double ( 
2X
 
), four times (  4X
 
), six times (
 
6x
 
) or eight 
times (
 
8x
 
) normal speed. The displayed nominal 
speed may differ sometimes from the actual speed of 
the writing operation, depending on circumstances.
The writing speed is set as described below.
Once the speed is selected, it is used in the CD copy-
ing and testing modes. It has no effect on the com-
pare operations.

 mode.
 
4 
Press  
ENTER
 
 to confirm the selection.
 
NOTE 
If you are in doubt what speed will work best, pick 
real-time first and experiment with the faster set-
tings later. Usually, however, you should be able to 
copy most discs at the  
highest
 
 speed recom-
mended for the particular brand of CD-R media 
you are using, as specified by the media  
manufacturer.  
You may find it useful to test the copy procedure 
before committing yourself to an actual copy, how-
ever. See 6, Test before disc copy for details.
 
NOTES 
Once a copy operation has started, it cannot be 
stopped before the disc has been finalized. The 
only way to stop a copy operation is to turn off the 
power to the unit. However, this will make the CD-
R disc useless for any purpose.
Do not use warped discs or discs with off-center 
holes with the CD-D4000 MKII.
While the copy operation is in progress, make sure 
that the CD-D4000 MKII is not subjected to vibra- 
tion or mechanical shocks.

NOTE 
There is one other important difference between
