6Press the ENTER key from this screen to exit the audio play mode and return to the main mode selection screen.

An appropriate error message is displayed if there is no disc in the drive (No disc), or if the disc is unreadable for any reason (it is not a finalized disc, or is wrongly inserted into the drive, does not contain audio data, etc. (Bad disc)),

NOTE

If the copied CD contains audio errors, you will be able to hear them, but no message will appear on the display. If a copied CD contains audible errors, you may want to consider re- recording at a lower speed, which will almost certainly reduce the error rate.

2.6 Setting the writing speed

The CD-D4000 SLAVE drive is capable of writing information to a CD or CD-ROM drive at normal (1X), double (2X) or four times (4X) normal speed.

The writing speed is set as described below.

3Press the MODE key to cycle between quadru- ple-speed (4X), double-speed (2X) and real-time (1X) mode.

4Press ENTER to confirm the selection.

NOTE

If you are in doubt what speed will work best, pick real-time first and experiment with the faster settings later. Usually, however, you should be able to copy most discs at the 4x speed.
