As the comparison process proceeds, the per- centage of the process which has been com- pleted is shown on the display.

Note that the comparison process is carried out quicker than recording or testing. The time taken for comparison is independent of any speed settings made (these only affect the recording speed).

If there has been an error in the copying (i.e. the two CD-ROMs do not match) or if they do not match in any other way (the wrong pair of discs has been loaded), the compare operation will stop at the point at which the mismatch was detected, and the display will show:
