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 distri- bution 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. You may ﬁnd it useful to test the copy procedure before commit- ting yourself to an actual copy, however. See 2.2, "Test write mode" for details.
