Before you start:
Before you start using this duplicator, please read the following to ensure proper operation:
1. Important Notice:
If you have purchased a CD/DVD duplicator, your duplicator will duplicate CD and DVDs ONLY. However, if you
have purchased a BD (BluRay) duplicator, you duplicator will duplicate BD, DVD and CD discs.
2. Duplication Limitations:
Your duplicator will not copy any disc that has Copy Protection encoded inside. Typically, most commercial DVD
or BD you purchase or rent from a store do contain Copy Protection.
You duplicator will only copy to the same format of disc as the source disc. For example a 4.7GB Single layer
DVD cannot be copied to an 8.5GB Dual layer DVD disc.
3. Temperature Warning:
If the duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below 5°C within the past 24 hours,
please leave the duplicator in a warm room with temperatures at least 18°C for 4 hours prior to powering it on for
the first time. Failure to do so may cause irreparable harm and prevent the duplicator from functioning.
4. Maintenance:
It is very important to operate and keep the duplicator in a dust free, clean environment and avoid overheated
operating environment on the duplicator system.

INTRODUCTION
Your new CopyBlastUltimate is a stand-alone CD/DVD/BD Disc Duplicator offering 1, 3, 7 or 11
target drives. The tower supports up to the maximum 40x CD, 24x DVD, 15x Blu-Ray writing
depending upon the attached drives, media and formatting used.
It features an easy to use operating control panel including a LCD screen and 4 operator buttons.
All operating messages and information including functions lists, instructions, operating status, and
error messages are displayed in real time on the screen. Users can read and follow the
instructions to complete their jobs easily even without referring to this user manual.
The built-in Hard Disk Drive (HDD) on 7 and 11 target models allows users to load many Master
Discs into the HDD as source images. Loading disc images into the HDD will greatly improve the
duplicating quality and performance as well as increase the convenience of heavy duplicating jobs.
An intelligent and dynamic HDD management system will dynamically assign HDD partitions
according to each images actual capacity requirement. It will ensure flexible and efficient HDD
management.
The CopyBlastUltimate also includes advanced USB based source and target duplication
capabilities. USB based sources can be copied to a USB based target or to one or more target
discs. Disc sources can also be copied onto a USB based target. Append functions allow multiple
USB sources to be copied to disc, or a larger USB target.

ABOUT HDD MANAGER –7 and 11 Target Units Only
CopyBlastUltimate has a highly intelligent and dynamic HDD management technology. Unlike the traditional
method of formatting a HDD, in which the number of partitions is determined by dividing your Hard Drive‘s
total capacity by 5GB for DVD or 1GB for CD images, CopyBlastUltimate uses a smarter and more dynamic
way to manage your HDD.
Our Dynamic HDD Manager has following special features:
Ⅰ. Auto Detect Disc Capacity and Dynamically Assign Partitions:
1. When first formatting your built-in HDD, CopyBlastUltimate will automatically divide the HDD into 1GB
partitions. You don’t have to predict and select BD, DVD or CD partitions.
2. Using function 9.7 Show HDD Info, the Hard Drive’s capacity is presented in terms of how many DVD or CD
discs you can load. For example, if your built-in HDD is 1TB, then the system will show the HDD available
capacity:
3. Every time you load a source disc, the duplicator will auto detect the disc capacity and assign correct
partitions for it. For example, if you loaded a 4GB single-layer DVD disc into the HDD the system will
automatically detect and assign 4 1GB partitions for it.
Ⅱ. Smart Image File Management:
1. When Discs are loaded into the HDD as stored disc images the system will automatically assign a file name
to the image file beginning from A001~A250.
☆★ Note: Each time a new disc image is loaded, the system will auto search and assign the lowest
available number as file name. For example, if no file has been deleted, the file name will be assigned by
sequence from A001, A002, and A003 until A250. However, if a file has been deleted, such as A003, the
next time there is a new disc image stored, the lowest available number of A003 will be assigned as this
new disc image’s file name.
2. You are able to delete an image file by executing 9.6 Delete Image. Once you delete an image file, the file
name will be left empty and becomes available for future new image files. No existing file names will be
changed.
3. You can check your image file information in function 9.4 Show Image Info. The image information will
present the image file name, Disc type and file size.
