You should own the copyright, or have obtained
the appropriate permission from the copyright
owner or the rightful licensor, your unauthorized
recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may
result in severe civil and criminal penalties under
copyright laws and international copyright treaties.
This procedure copies the material from the disc
(either an audio CD or a CD-ROM) in the MASTER
drive to the CD-R in the SLAVE drive. Note, how-
ever, that when copying an audio disc, to save time
taken when making copies, the CD-D4000 MKII
does not copy index information.

5.1 Setting the writing speed

The CD-D4000 MKII SLAVE drive is capable of
writing information to a CD-R disc at normal (
double ( ), four times (
2X 4X
times ( 8x ) normal speed. The displayed nominal
speed may differ sometimes from the actual speed of
the writing operation, depending on circumstances.
The writing speed 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.

NOTE
If you are in doubt what speed will work best, pick
real-time first and experiment with the faster set-
tings later. Usually, however, you should be able to
copy most discs at the highest speed recom-
mended for the particular 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 6, "Test before disc copy" for details.
NOTES
Once a copy operation has started, it cannot be
stopped before the disc has been finalized. The
only way to stop a copy operation is to turn off the
power to the unit. However, this will make the CD-
R disc useless for any purpose.
Do not use warped discs or discs with off-center
holes with the CD-D4000 MKII.
While the copy operation is in progress, make sure
that the CD-D4000 MKII is not subjected to vibra-
tion or mechanical shocks.
