The Best Place To Put The 5000D
The best operating location for the 5000D Series DVD duplicator is in a
climate-controlled area, free of dirt, dust, humidity, excessive heat, and
electronic or electromagnetic interference. Room temperature should be
between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or between 18 and 23 degrees
Celsius. Place the 5000D on a solid, steady work surface, and allow
sufficient room for all incidental work materials. Provide at least six inches
of clearance on all sides of the unit for ventilation.
Safety Precautions
The system is shipped with a three-prong power connector, and must be
used with a properly grounded AC receptacle. DO NOT try to defeat the
third “ground” prong. All computer peripherals must be properly grounded,
and the 5000D is no exception. The use of a power conditioner, such as an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or a surge protector, is highly
recommended. The minimum required size is 500VA.
Repairs or alterations should only be attempted by authorized, factory-
trained technicians. MediaFORM reserves the right to void the warranty if
unauthorized service is performed.

System Startup
Before duplicating can begin it is necessary to review a few details.
•Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the upper receptacle at the
rear of the unit.
•Next, verify that the voltage selector switch is set correctly. It is located
between the two power receptacles. The 5000D Series supports both 115
VAC and 230 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz. Please confirm that the appropriate
voltage (115 VAC for North America) has been selected.
M
CAUTION
Always use properly grounded receptacles or severe damage to
your system may result. The use of a surge protector or
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is highly recommended.

•Make sure you power on the unit using the switch seen below, which is
located on the back of the 5000D Series.
•Once the proper voltage setting has been confirmed, it is time to turn on
the unit. The power switch is located at the back of the unit, next to the
