Welcome!
Our duplicator is a reliable, high performance, high speed,
standalone CD and/or DVD duplicator. With its professional
industrial design and simple beginner user interface, it will make
your duplicating experience easier than ever.
******************************************************
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 duplicator, your duplicator will
duplicate CDs ONLY. However, if you have purchased a DVD
duplicator, you duplicator will duplicate both DVDs and CDs.
2. DVD Duplication Limitations:
For a DVD Duplicator, it will not copy any DVD that has Copy
Protection encoded inside. Typically, most DVDs you purchase
or rent from a store, does contain Copy Protection.
In addition to the copy protection limitation, the duplicator will
only copy a DVD-5 format (4.7GB) disc to DVD-5 format
(4.7GB) recordable DVD media. If your duplicator has double
layer capability, you can copy a DVD-9 format (8.5GB) disc to
DVD-9 format (8.5GB) recordable DVD media. You cannot
duplicate a DVD5 format disc to a DVD9 format recordable
media or vice versa.
3. Temperature Warning:
If the duplicator was stored in a location where the temperature
dropped below 32°F (0°C) within the past 24 hours, please
leave the duplicator in a warm room with temperatures at least
65°F (19°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. External Connection Warning:
If you have an external connection installed in your duplicator,
you will see the USB/Firewire switch(s) on the back of your
duplicator, and/or USB/Firewire sticker(s) on your writer front
drive panel(s). In order to operate the duplicator solely as a
standalone unit (no connection to the computer), you have to
make sure all of the USB/Firewire connection light(s) on the
back of your duplicator are off. If by any chance, the
USB/Firewire connection light(s) are on, you need to follow
the following steps: 1. Turn off your duplicator. 2. Turn off the
USB/Firewire switch(s), 3. Turn on your duplicator. 4. Make
sure all the USB/Firewire lights are off.
5. Maintenance:
It is very important to operate and keep the duplicator in a dust
free, clean environment since dust is the number 1 killer for
CD/DVD recording devices. Failure to do so may severely
damage your duplicator. We strongly suggest you place an Air
Cleaner next to the duplicator and constantly use theAir Duster
(Can Air) to clear off any dust on the surface of the duplicator.
Do not try to use the Air Duster to clean the
duplicator while the reader/writer trays are open.
In doing so, you may inadvertently blow dust into
the recording device and damage the recording
device.
6. Proper Shutdown:
To avoid possible system failures, you need to shutdown the
duplicator properly. To shutdown the duplicator, you need to
press “>>” button to “15. Shutdown” and follow instructions
on the screen to shutdown the duplicator properly. Turning off
your duplicator without performing this function will increase
the risk of damaging your duplicator.

7. Double Layer Partition Issue
Attention: If you have a 16x speed or higher duplicator with
double layer/dual layer DVD9 capability, the hard drive
partitions are set at the default size of 9GB each to
accommodate for the expanded size of the DVD9 format. If
you require more partitions and do not plan on utilizing double
layer/dual layer DVD9 media, Please refer to “Tutorial VIII:
Changing Hard Drive Partition Size.” Please keep in mind that
if 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 5GB capacity such as DVD5 (4.7GB), CD
(700MB), etc.

Tutorial Guide:
I. Make Disc-to-Disc Copies
This process will copy your master disc into several blank discs
simultaneously. However, due to its simultaneous nature, a
good conditioned master disc and lower recording speed is
necessary for high success rate and good quality duplications.
When you turn on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you
should see the following signifying your duplicator is ready.
1. Make sure the Master Reading Source is set to the
READER.
It is very important to make sure that your current Master
Reading Source is the top tray in order to avoid
unnecessary error messages. To check the Master Reading
Source, please do the following:
a. Use UP or DOWN arrow buttons to navigate to the
following screen.
b. Press “>>” to enter Select Source Menu and you shall
see the following:
*** The Reader Port could be indexed as 2.0.
Either 1.0 or 2.0 is fine.

b. Then. you will see the Counter Selection Menu like the
following:
c. The Counter Selection Menu will let you choose how many
copies you want to make for your project. This Counter
Selection feature will allow the duplicator to count the
number of copies you’ve made and prompt you when the
desired number of copies has been made.
You can select “No Counter” if you prefer to copy continuously
with no interruption. (It will still count the number of copies, but it
will not notify you when to stop.) To select the “No Counter”,
simply press “>>” button when you see the screen above. Then
skip below and continue on to step “d”.
Or, you can select “Specify Counter” between 1 to 9999 by
pressing the UP or DOWN navigation button to the below screen:
Then please press “>>” button to submit. You shall see the screen
below:
To specify the number of copies for your project, you need to
enter/input a 4-digit number. If you are planning to specify a
number that is less than 4 digits, please fill the leading spaces with
“0”s (any leading “0” will be skipped). An example of that 4-digit
number could be “0234” (Two hundred and thirty four), or “0010”
(ten). Remember, the beginning “0”s are skipped, therefore “0010”
means “10”, which is the number 10.
