QD-DVD Series

The 

Load and Copy

 setting will load the master to the hard drive during the first burn cycle; 

subsequent burns without leaving Copy mode will use the hard drive image as the source for 
added stability.   

To use a new master disc in Load and Copy mode, you must press ESC to 

return to the Copy menu!

 

The 

Prompt

 setting will ask you to specify Load and Copy or On the Fly when the Copy button is 

pressed. 
The 

On the Fly

 setting will use the loaded master disc in the reader drive as the source at all 

times. 

Counter 

Use the Counter menu to enable or disable the 

Counter

 feature. The counter tells you how many 

discs have copied and how many discs are left to go during the duplication process stopping the 
job once the desired number of copies has been made. 

DVD+R High Compatibility Mode 

This feature allows you to turn the 

DVD+R High Compatibility Mode

 feature 

ON

 or 

OFF

. The 

purpose of this feature is to increase the compatibility of DVD+R media with a broader range of 
DVD Video players.  

ISRC 

This option will allow you to enable/disable copying the ISRC code of an Audio CD. ISRC is the 
serial number of the audio track that uniquely identifies the song in that audio track.  This ISRC 
code is commonly found in commercial Audio CDs and rarely seen on home made Audio CDs. By 
enabling this feature, the duplication performance will be lowered. 

Disable Drives 

Use this utility to allow the system to disable certain drives/trays when certain drives/trays are 
producing high failure rates.  

External Connection 

Use this setting to enable the bottom recorder drive to be used as an external drive connected to 
your PC via a USB 2.0 connection.  Please note that while this setting is 

ON

, the bottom drive will 

be unavailable for burning to the duplicator.  
If you have a QD-DVD with one reader drive and one recorder drive, you will not be able to use 
the duplicator while the External Connection is 

ON

.  The QD-DVD multi-drive models will function 

with the remaining recorder drives as a stand-alone duplicator with the External Connection 

ON

To connect the bottom drive to your PC, you will need to connect your PC and the 
duplicator using the supplied USB cable.  Plug the flat end of the USB cable to your 
PC and the square end to the connection on the back of the duplicator, shown to 
the right.   
Select the Setup menu and use the 

▼▲

 buttons and press the 

ENT

 button the display reads 

External Connection

.  If the display indicates that the connection is 

OFF

, use either arrow key to 

change the setting to 

ON

, then press 

ENT

 to save the setting.  The duplicator will be briefly 

unresponsive as the bottom drive is released from duplication mode.  Press 

ESC

 to leave the 

Setup menu. 
To shut off the External Connection, simply change the External Connection setting to 

OFF

.  This 

setting can be changed any time both the tower and bottom drive are idle, but you may need to 
remove any media from the bottom drive before the drive will be recognized again.  You do not 
need to disconnect the USB cable.
