Setting the writing speed

The CD-D1x4 slave drives are capable of writing
information to CD-R or CD-RW discs at one of three
speeds:
,
FAST 16
MEDIUM 8
Speed with different media

FAST 16

4x
a. Defined as 4-10x CD-RW
b. Even though the display shows 8x, the drive is
only capable of writing at 4x to CD-RW media
in medium speed
The displayed nominal speed may differ sometimes
from the actual speed of the writing operation,
depending on circumstances. These circumstances
(source material, target media, etc.) may also affect
the maximum write speed.
The writing speed is used in copying, simulation and
in track extraction operations and is set as described
below.
Once the speed is selected, it is used in the CD copy-
ing and testing modes. It has no effect on the com-
pare operations.

This procedure copies the material from the disc
(either an audio CD or a CD-ROM) in the
drive to the CD-R or CD-RW disc in one of the slave
drives.
Note, however, that when copying an audio disc,
index markers greater than 1 will have their number
set to 1 on the copied disc.

NOTE
If you are in doubt what speed will work best, pick a
slow speed first and experiment with the faster settings
later. Usually, however, you should be able to copy most
discs at the highest speed recommended for the partic-
ular brand of CD-R media you are using, as specified by
the media manufacturer.
You may find it useful to test the copy procedure
before committing yourself to an actual copy, how-
ever. See "Simulation" on page 15 for details.
