The
Select Source
menu or the
Source
quick key are used to set
the Master Reading Source. The Master Reading Source has
three possible options.
■
Disc-to-Disc Copying (read from the Reader tray) - This is how you
would normally make copies on the fly. You need to set the “Reader”
as your Master Reading Source.
■
Disc-to-Disc Copying (read from the Writer tray) - This is how you
would make copies when your master disc is full of scratches. You need
to use the Writer Tray as your Master Reading Source to make a copy,
and then use the new copy as your new Master to make more copies.
■
Hard Drive-to-Disc Copying (assuming that a hard drive is installed)
To make copies from your Hard Drive Image, you need to select the
source as “Hard Drive.”
There are four benefits to copying from the hard drive:
■
Performance - Duplicating form the hard drive will be able to boost the
DVD duplication speeds to 8x or above.
■
Stability - Duplicating from the hard drive will stabilize the duplication
process as compared to Disc-to-Disc duplication.
■
Durability - The Hard Disk Drive is a much better storage device than
DVD recordable discs. First of all, DVD recordable discs are composed
of chemical materials that tend to degrade over a period of time, while
hard drives are made of magnetic disks that will last over 100 years.
Secondly, a DVD recordable disc is exposed and can very easily be
scratched on its surface, while a hard drives is covered with metal and
mounted inside the duplicator.
■
Convenience - With your master discs stored inside the hard drive, you
can have access to each one easily. There is no need to carry your mas-
ter discs; they are all stored inside the duplicator.
When you turn-on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you should see the
following signifying your duplicator is ready:
