8 – Copying discs—Program copy
46 TASCAM CD-RW402 Owner’s Manual
If a recordable disc with not enough space to hold the
contents of the source disc is used, the display shows
Not
enough
.
If drive 1 is in shuffle mode, the display shows PLAY
MODE!. If drive 1 is in programmed playback mode, the
program copy is available, not the disc copy (see “Pro-
gram copy” on page 46).

Program copy

Program copy is only possible with audio material.
If drive 1 is in programmed playback mode, disc
copying is not possible. Only programmed copying is
possible. This function is useful if you want to make
a copy of a disc, missing out some tracks, or rear-
ranging the order of the original tracks.
1If a programmed playback order has not
been set for the source disc, make a pro-
grammed playback order (“Programmed
order playback” on page 24).
2Insert a recordable disc on drive 2.
3With both drives stopped, press the DISC
COPY key.
The drive 1 display shows PGM COPY and the
drive 2 display shows COPY> PGM.
4Set the speed and finalize options as
described above (“Disc copying” on page 45).
The DAO option is also available here (“DAO
copying” on page 46).
5While copying, the display shows the track
number and program step on drive 1:
4
TR
COPY 02p, with the track number and
“countup timer” shown on drive 2.
6At the end of the program copy, drive 1
shows Wait... and disc 2 display is blank, while
the disc is being finalized (if this has been
selected).

DAO copying

NOTE
Disc At Once copying must be carried out with a blank
disc in drive 2.
DAO copying is the only option available for CD-ROMs
and the whole of CD-EXTRA d iscs (music tracks of CD-
EXTRA discs may be copied using the copy operations
described above).
In the case of copying an audio di sc, when the
FINALIZE> option is shown (see step 5 above), as well
as the YES and NO options, a DAO option is also shown.
Select this option to perform DAO copying.
When a copy is made using the DAO copy option, the
drive 2 display shows Lead In as a flashing display
(and a timed countdown) while the lead-in data is
being written.
During the copy process, drive 1 display shows
Now Copy 1->2.
The data (or audio data) is then copied as described
above).
When all the data has been copied , the drive 2 dis-
play shows Lead Out as a flashing display (and a timed
countdown) while the lead-out data is being written.
In the case of a CD-ROM disc being copied in this
way, an option to perform compare operation is given
after the copy speed selection. Drive 2 shows
COMPARE ?.
If the compare option has been selected for a CD-
ROM, the comparison is carried out after the lead-out
has been written (COMPARE 1:2 on drive 1 and COMPARE
with a countdown time on drive 2.) This may take
some time to complete, depending on the disc being
copied.
An appropriate error message (COMPARE ERR!) is
shown if there has been an error in copying.
At the end of the copy/compare operation, the dis-
plays briefly show Wait... and then return to their nor -
mal mode.
NOTE
Do not turn off the power or otherwise interrupt a DAO
operation, or the destination disc will be unreadable (in
the case of a CD-R disc, it will become totally useless,
and in the case of a CD-RW it will have to be refreshed).
