Disable Drives; Dvd+R High Compatibility Mode; External Connection - MicroBoards Technology QD-DVD Series User Manual

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.
