1 - Introduction

The TASCAM CD-D4000 CD duplicator provides you with a quick and simple method of copying your original audio material in CD format at more than real-time speeds, using easily-obtainable, low-cost CD-R media, with no auxiliary equipment or com- puter system required.

It is especially useful for duplicating material pro- duced using the TASCAM CD-RW5000 on CD-RW media, which may be unplayable on certain types of CD player. The CD-D4000 can read CD-RW discs produced on the CD-RW5000 for easy duplication.

The CD-D4000 can also be used to duplicate CD- ROM material to which you own copyright or for which you have appropriate permission.

NOTE

This product is designed to help you record and reproduce sound works to which you own the copyright, or where you have obtained permission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the copy- right, or have obtained the appropriate per- mission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties under copyright laws and international copyright treaties. If you are uncertain about your rights, contact your legal advisor. Under no circum- stances will TEAC Corporation be responsible for the consequences of any illegal copying performed using the CD-D4000.

Depending on the quality of the source CD (audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW or CD-ROM), it is possible to copy material at up to four times the real-time rate (selectable from the front panel), making it conve- nient for rapid duplication of a number of identical discs, etc.

Depending on the content of the source CD, you may not be able to read it, or to make a completely accu- rate copy of the source.

Making multiple copies of the same disc may degrade the sound quality.

NOTE

Although the operation of the CD-D4000 is relatively straightforward, we strongly suggest that you read this manual before starting operations. There are a few factors affecting the production of CD-R discs using the CD- D4000 which may not be immediately obvious.

1.1 Installing the CD-D4000

The CD-D4000 is designed to fit into 2U of standard 19” rack space. We suggest that you leave 1U of space above the unit to allow for cooling.

There are no connections to be made to and from the CD-D4000 other than the power connection on the rear panel, as the unit is completely self-contained.
