Chapter 3 Simple Basics

Overview

This chapter covers procedures for the most frequently used functions of the DVD

Duplicator, which are as follows:

• Duplicating (Copying) a DVD

• Copying a DVD to the Hard Drive

• Duplicating from the Hard Drive

• Copying Selected Tracks to the Hard Drive

• Burning Composite DVDs from a Hard Drive Partition

• Selecting or Changing the Source (Master DVD or Hard Drive)

• Selecting a Specific Hard Drive Partition as the Source

Copying a Master DVD

Duplicating (Copying) from DVD to DVD is the most frequently used function of the system.

This procedure provides step-by-step instructions for making duplicates from a Master DVD.

1. Turn on the system. Note that the 1.Copy command is displayed. Your LCD display should

look like this:

2. Place the Master DVD in the top drive. This is the drive that functions as Master or “source”

drive.

3. Place one or more blank DVDs in the remaining drives. It doesn’t matter which drive(s) you

use; the system will automatically detect which slave or “destination” drives have blank

discs in them ready to be copied to.




4. Press the ENT button. The system will begin by copying information from the master DVD to

the DVDs in the slave drives. Red lights on the slave drives indicate when information is

being written to the discs in those drives. The master drive flashes a green light, indicating

that it is reading and copying the information. In the LCD panel display, the status of the

copy operation is indicated. For example:

5. When the copies are finished, the copy disc drawers will automatically open and the LCD

panel will display the status of the successful duplication process:

6. Remove the duplicated DVD(s) from the drive(s) and close the drive(s) using the open/close

button on the DVD drive.

7. Unless you intend to make more copies of the same master DVD, remove the master DVD

from the Master (source) drive.

8. Press the ESC button to return to the Copy function.

Loading a DVD onto the Hard Drive

This procedure applies only to systems that have a hard drive installed . It explains how to copy

the contents of a DVD onto a partition on the hard drive. Once a DVD is copied to the hard

drive, it is easy to make duplicates using all of the available DVD-RW drives.

1. Turn on the system. Note that the copy command is displayed. Your LCD display should

look like this:

2. Place the DVD to be loaded onto the Hard Drive into the Master Drive (the top drive of your

system).

Press the ENT button to select the Image function. Note that the LCD panel display shows

which partition of the hard drive the DVDs contents (Image) will be load into. (To learn

more about how to select a particular partition on the hard drive, see page 16). In the

following example, the image will be loaded into hard drive partition A:

4. Press the ENT button. The LCD panel display will indicate the status of the load process by

displaying the percent of the DVD’s contents that have been loaded, the number of tracks

that have been loaded, etc.

In the following example, we can see that the contents of the Master DVD are being

loaded into partition A of the hard drive. This particular “snapshot” shows that 18 percent

of the DVD has been copied, 2851.5 MB of data remains to be copied, and 7 minutes and

26 seconds is the estimated time to complete the copy from the master DVD to the hard

drive:

When the load process is complete, the system will beep and display the following

message:

You have now completed the process of loading a master DVD onto the hard drive.

5. Remove the master DVD from the Master (Source) drive.




6. Press the ESC button two times to return to the numbered functions list. Use the up and

down arrow buttons to set the display to 1. Copy.

Copying from a Partition on the Hard Drive

This procedure applies only to systems that have a hard drive installed. It explains how to copy

“source” is partition A:

The copy function is indicating that it will be copying from partition A of the hard drive. To

learn how to select a different partition, refer to page 16.

6. With the copy function displayed in the LCD panel, place blank DVDs in the available disc

drives and press ENT button. The system will scan for blank DVDs and then write to those

DVDs, copying the data from the displayed partition letter of the hard drive. Note that the

DVD drives that are being written to from the hard drive have a blinking light, indicating

that the copy session is in progress. The status of the copy operation is indicated in the

LCD panel display. In the following example, the “snapshot” shows that 1256.7 MBs of the

data remain to be copied from partition A, and that 44% of the data has already been

copied, and that the remaining time for the copy process is 22 minutes and 34 seconds.

7. When the copy process completes, the disc drawers will automatically open and the LCD

panel display will indicate the status. In the following example, 7 DVDs were successfully

written to from partition A of the hard drive:

You have now completed the process for using the hard drive to make DVD duplicates.

Chapter 7 Setup Options

Overview

The 11.Setup function contains options that allow the user to change the original

default settings. As there are various settings that control the duplicator’s operation, we

suggest using the preset default settings for optimal operation. The options are

described in this chapter for your reference.

Language

This option allows you to select the language that appears in the LCD Panel. The

options are: English, Spanish.

CD Burn Speed

This option allows you to change the burn speed (depending on the CD-RW maximum

speed support).

DVD Burn Speed

This option allows you to change the burn speed (depending on the DVD-RW maximum

speed support).

Read Speed

The option allows you to control the read speed of the DVD-RW (depending on the

CD-ROM maximum speed support).

Auto Start Drive

This option controls whether or not the DVD writers will auto start to copy or if the DVD

writers will test for the blank discs. The default setting is OFF.

Startup Menu

This option allows you to select which function will appear at system startup. The default

is the Copy function.

Auto Verify

This option controls the auto verify of the target DVDs, which verifies if they can be read

correctly in the DVD-RW drive after copying. The default setting is OFF

Auto Compare

This option controls the auto compare of the data between the Master DVD and the

target DVDs after a copy operation. The default setting is OFF.

Auto Prescan

This option controls the auto prescan of the master disc to see if it can be read correctly

and it tests the reading speed. The default setting is OFF.

Eject Disc

This option controls the ejection of the discs by the DVD writer. Three settings are

available: the default setting is the “Eject Good Only” setting, which will only eject the

passed discs automatically and leave the failed ones in the DVD writers; the “Eject All

Disc” setting will eject all discs, whether or not they passed or failed; the “Do Not Eject”

setting causes all the discs to remain in the DVD writers when the job is done and the

user will have to eject the discs manually.




Burn On the Fly

This option controls the writing methods to the DVD. When this setting is ON, the data

will direct copy from the source drive to the target drives. When the setting is OFF, the

data will load into a particular temporary partition in the hard drive and then the copied

data will come from the source partition.

Burn Mode

This option controls the writing methods to the DVD including the “Disc At Once” (DAO)

or “Track at once” (TAO). The default setting is Disc At Once. Some DVD writers may

support different writing methods. If the method selected is not supported, the

duplicator will automatically switch to the other one.

error of a target DVD is beyond the set byte, the comparison between the source DVD

and the target DVD will stop. Yet the comparison of the other target DVDs will continue.

Audio Burn Speed

Audio Burn Speed lets you control the burning speed of audio CDs. The default is auto.




Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

1. No display on LCD or the unit does not operate when power is on.

• Please check the power cable and the power supply.

2. LCD shows the Error message.

• During the operation like Copy, Test, Compare and Verity, you may press the ESC

button to abort the operation. An error message will be shown on the LCD. Some

DVD writers will cause the duplication to hang up and you have to power off/on to

return to normal operation.

• Failed reading may cause the error message shown on the LCD display. Change the

master DVD and try again.

• During operation, if read error, buffer under run or writing error occurs, the LCD will

show error message like: Pass XX, failed XX.

• If there is no device connected or detected by duplicator during power-on, the

duplicator will show error message on LCD before entering the main menu.

3. DVD-RW can not read disc and shows error message.

• Check the format of master DVD or master DVD itself for damage.

• Use any of the DVD-Writers to read the master; if it works, the DVD-RW may be

defective or not compatible with DVD-RW.

4. Buttons do not function.

• May be still busy on task.

• Button malfunction.

• Faulty board.

5. Copy complete but DVD-R disc is not readable/executable.

• Use compare to check.

• Change another DVD-RW drive to test.

6. The copy failure rate is high.

• Lower the speed of DVD-Writer and try again.

• Quality of disc is poor.

• Check for latest firmware version.

• Check the DVD-Writer maximum writing speed. With writing processes exceeding

24X please copy to hard drive first then to DVD.

7. Can not boot-up or fail to update firmware.

• Contact your dealer to solve the problem.

• Check to verify that correct program is downloaded and unzipped before writing the

file onto DVD.

• Failed update might cause failed boot. This can only be corrected by returning the

unit to Kingdom.

8. To cancel the duplicator working process.
