Copy & Compare

Copy and Compare mode will run a comparison of the Master and the new copies prior to unloading the recorder drives. Like Copy mode, the source of the master will depend on the System Setup selections. The same steps are followed as with the standard Copy mode.

Copies that do not pass the comparison will be rejected.

Compare

This function will run a comparison between the selected master and the copies. Pre-burned copies are loaded into the input hopper. The discs are not burned when running a Compare.

Discs that do not pass the comparison will be rejected.

Batch Mode

Batch mode can be used if you have more than one master that needs to be duplicated. Load the first master into the input hopper, then the number of blank discs you require. Load the second master next, then place as many blanks as is necessary on top of the second master, and so on.

disc to which it will be copied. Loading 2 masters in a row will stop the Batch duplication. Since the input hopper and output spindle has a 100 disc capacity, you could make a single copy each of a maximum of 50 different masters in an unattended operation once the Batch duplication has begun.

After the Batch copy begins, the master will be read to the hard drive. Duplication of the master will come from this hard drive image and not directly from the master disc. Please note that the Batch mode will save the master to a hidden HDD partition and will not overwrite any partition to which you have already saved a master.

Batch Copy

This mode will duplicate the masters onto the blanks, with both loaded into the input hopper as described above.

Batch Copy & Compare

Batch Copy & Compare will function as a Disc-to-Disc Copy & Compare by running a comparison of each burned disc to the master. Load the masters and blanks as described above.

Track Extraction (for AUDIO CD ONLY)

When extracting Audio, you can select the partition to which the extracted tracks will be saved. Any displayed HDD partition that is not specified as FREE on the display already contains information that will be overwritten if you select that partition.
