magnetic inter erence.
 Please an the media be ore placing it into the Input Hopper and align it. Media has to slide easy on top o
each other
 Do not use un-expensive media because it can generate problems: media sticks together and 2 or more discs
can be loaded even i the picker is designed to grab just one.
 For audio duplication, please use good quality media and max 32x speed on CD
 Because your system is equipped with up 24x DVD drives, use only 52x certi ied CD and 24x certi ied DVD
media.
 From time to time, the drives have to be cleaned using a CD Lens cleaning Kit or blowing air using a
compressed gas duster.
 The 2 sha ts used by the Picker to travel up and down should be oiled rom time to time; use the multipurpose
oil provided
Mo nting the tower
For all systems, the tower is provided with a tower plate mounted on the bottom. This plate will help in stabilizing
the tower on the adapter (see Fig. 1 page 4)
Make sure all thumbscrews are loose, place the tower on top o the adapter matching the colored marks (see
Fig.2). Tight gently thumbscrews # 1 on both sides until they touch the adapter and then tight thumbscrews # 2
(they consolidate the tower on the adapter) as shown in Fig. 3.
A ter the tower has been mounted success ully, proceed with “Connecting Power” (page 5) and “Drive Alignment”
In case you don’t have good alignment, loose all thumbscrews, adjust the tower (le t and right, back and orth) and
tight back the thumbscrews as described above. Repeat the steps above until you obtain the right alignment.

OVERVIEW
1. Welcome
The Autoloader is a reliable, high per ormance, high speed, standalone, robotic DVD, CD and/or BD (optional)
autoloader. With its pro essional industrial design and simple user inter ace, it makes your duplicating experience
easier than ever.
With the Autoloader, you can have a capacity up to 900 discs, duplicate continuously or 24 hours (even with
multiple masters), and get the highest quality duplication, all at an extremely a ordable price. The Autoloader is the
most reliable and a ordable autoloader on the market, even compared to units with hal the drives and capacity.
Be ore you start using this autoloader, please read the ollowing to ensure proper operation:
DVD/BD D plication Limitations
The autoloader will not copy any BD/DVDs that have Copy Protection encoded in the content. Typically, most Blu-
Ray (BD) or DVD movies you purchase or rent rom a store contain Copy Protection.
In addition to the copy protection limitation, the autoloader will only copy a single layer (4.7 GB) disc to another
single layer recordable media. I your autoloader has double layer/dual layer capability, you can copy a double layer
(8.5 GB) disc to another double layer recordable media, but you cannot duplicate a single layer disc on to a double
layer recordable media or vice versa.
Temperat re Warning
I the Autoloader was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below 32° F (0° C) within the past 24
hours, leave the autoloader in a warm room with temperatures at least 65° F (19° C) or our hours prior to
powering it on or the irst time. Failure to do so may cause irreparable harm and prevent the autoloader rom
unctioning.
Maintenance
It is very important to operate and keep the autoloader in a dust ree, clean environment since dust is the number
one killer o CD/DVD/BD recording devices. Failure to do so can severely damage your autoloader. We strongly
suggest that you constantly use an Air Duster (Canned Air) to clear o any dust on the sur ace o the autoloader.
Note: Do not try to use an Air Duster to clean the autoloader while the writer trays are open. In doing so, you may
inadvertently blow dust into the recording device and damage it.

HERA Series CD/DVD Duplication System / User Manual

Proper Sh tdown
To avoid possible system ailures, you need to shut down the autoloader properly. To shut down the autoloader,
scroll to menu 15. Shutdown and ollow the instructions on the screen. Not per orming this unction increases the
risk o damaging the autoloader
.
Do ble Layer/D al Layer Partition Iss e
I you have a 16x speed or higher autoloader with double layer/dual layer DVD9 capability, the hard drive partitions
are set to a de ault size o 9 GB each to accommodate or the expanded size o the DVD9 ormat. I you require
more partitions and do not plan on using double layer/dual layer DVD9 media, you can reduce the size o the
partitions using the instructions given in “Partition Size” on page 33. Keep in mind that i you alter the partition size,
all previous data/video stored on the hard drive will be lost and you will only be able to load media with less than 5
GB capacity such as DVD5 (4.7 GB), CD (700 MB), etc.
Disc Static and Sticky Media Iss es
The most common problems when using an autoloader are the disc static and sticky media issues. These static
charge problems cause multiple discs to stick together, resulting in improper operation and more severely, can
shock the robotic arm while loading a disc that causes the system reeze. Even though the autoloader has a sticky
media separator unction to prevent the sticky media, but you should still ollow these steps to prevent sticky media
rom disrupting your operation and protect your system rom disc static charge.
This issue is most commonly seen when you buy a 100 pack o blank discs and insert them into the autoloader
without any treatment. I you have experienced this kind o problem, please do the ollowing to remove the adhesive
static between the discs:
Separate the blank discs be ore you place them into the autoloader's bins and align them using. Separating them
will greatly reduce the static between discs. See pictures below:
I this doesn't achieve the desired outcome, use an air duster (canned air) to blow air around the circular edge o the
blank discs. This process reduces the static between the discs up to 90%. The amount o air to use depends on
actors speci ic to your environment.

HERA Series CD/DVD Duplication System / User Manual

Disc Placement Iss e
Another common problem when using an autoloader is the placement o media into the bins. Placing the media into
the bins properly can avoid possible picking errors when operating the autoloader. Even though the autoloader is
designed with certain tolerance adjustments to prevent mishandling by the picking arm, ailures may still arise i the
bins are not loaded correctly. All media loaded into the bins should be lat and not slanted at an angle to ensure the
picking arm can securely grab the disc. Be sure not to load too many discs into the bins as well as this may cause
errors in placement and loading. The igure below shows the proper and incorrect disc placements when loading
media into the bins
2. The Robotic Platform
The autoloader (with up to 900 Disc Capacity) has 3 input bins that hold:
- 110 discs each or HERA-3
- 210 discs each or HERA-6
- 300 discs each or HERA-9
The robotic arm picks blank discs rom Input Bin # 1 irst, and places the success ul copies into the Output Bin.
Once Input Bin # 1 is empty, it picks blank discs rom Input Bin # 2, and places the success ul copies into Input Bin
# 1 which becomes Output Bin # 2. It then picks rom Input Bin # 3 and places into Input Bin # 2 which becomes
Output Bin # 3 and so on. Reject discs are placed on to the deck below the drive trays. (Throughout this manual,
this area is also re erred as “Reject Area”).

2. Copy + Compare
Use the Copy + Compare menu option to make 100% reliable copies. A ter the copy process is done, the
autoloader automatically compares the copies rom the content o your original master disc.
3. Test Copy
Use the Test menu to simulate the copy process. With simulation, write once recordable discs such as DVD-R, or
CDR will be reusable. The purpose o simulation is to ensure error ree duplication.
Note: Due to physical limitations of the BD/DVD+R recordable format, if you try to simulate BD/DVD+R copying,
you will encounter failure messages.
Warning: If you are using CD/DVD/BD Rewritable discs as your blank media during the simulation, the content
on those discs will be permanently erased.
. Compare
Use the Compare unction to per orm a bit-by-bit comparison between the content o your master disc(s) in the
Hard Drive and the contents o all discs it copied. This ensures that all o your copies are identical to original
master disc(s).
Note: The bit-by-bit comparison will only apply on all BDs, DVDs and Data CDs. The readability check will be
applied for other formats like Audio CDs, CD+G, and Video CDs discs due to their lack of error correction
mechanisms.
5. Select Burn Speed
Use the Select Burn Speed menu option to adjust the duplication speed or the various blank disc ormats. For
additional in ormation, see “Select Burn Speed” on page 17
6. Select Source

6. Single Master and Multi Master Mode
There are two ways to make copies using the autoloader:
Single Master Mode:
This mode requires that a single master disc is loaded onto the hard drive prior to initiating the duplication
process. This mode is ideal i your job involves one or very ew master disc(s).
M lti Master Mode (Batch Mode):
This mode does not require you to manually load your master. Simply place the master disc(s) on top o the
stack o blank discs needed or that particular job o the master disc. This mode is ideal i you have
numerous master discs and ewer copies or each master disc.
The Multi Master mode uses the Reserve partition to temporarily store the content o the current master disc.
Once the task is complete and a new master disc has been detected, the reserve partition's content (o
previous master disc) will be replaced with the content o the new master disc.
For example, i you need to make:
 20 copies o job A
 40 copies o job B
 30 copies o job C
Under Multi Master Mode, you would need to ollow the steps below:
1. Make sure all o the spindles are empty.
2. Place 30 blank discs or job C on to the irst input spindle.
3. Place the master disc or job C on top o those blank discs or job C.
4. Place 40 blank discs or job B on top o the master disc or job C.
5. Place the master disc or job B on top o those blank discs or job B.
6. Place 20 blank discs or job A on top o the master disc or job B.
Place the master disc or job A on top o those blank discs or Job A. A ter you have completed these steps, the Input Bin
should be loaded in the order shown above
When you start the copy operation, the robotic arm will pick up discs rom the Input Bin and place them into the drives. I
any o the discs in the drives contains data, (in this case, that would be the irst disc, the Master Disc or job A) the
autoloader will load entire content o this disc (Master A) into the reserve partition on the Hard Drive. The subsequent discs
rom the input bin will be loaded in the empty drives.
Once the loading process is completed, the autoloader will start the duplication process or the blank media in the
remaining drives. Master disc A will be picked up rom the appropriate drive and dropped on to the Output Bin and the
empty drive where the master disc was removed will be loaded with the next disc rom the Input Bin.
I a new master is detected be ore the previous job is inished, the autoloader will complete the irst job, unload the
completed job, and ill the drive trays with blank discs or the next job. The robotic arm will continue to load media into the
drives as the duplicated discs are placed in the Output Bin. Once a writer drive (any drive) detects another Master disc, the
same process is repeated or the new Master disc.

OPERATION
1. Copy
This command will copy a master disc or image designated as the Source to all target discs in the Writer Drives.
This process burns all in ormation contained on the master disc to the target discs so the copies are exact
duplicates o the master disc. The Copy option has two di erent modes o operation:
 Single Master Mode: This mode requires that a single master disc is loaded onto the hard drive prior to
initiating the duplication process. This mode is ideal i your job involves one or very ew master disc(s).
 Multi Master Mode (Batch Mode): This mode does not require you to manually load your master. Simply place
the master disc(s) on top o the stack o blank discs needed or that particular job o the master disc. This
mode is ideal i you have numerous master discs and ewer copies or each master disc.
Copy Process (Single Master – So rce: Disc):
