8. Select Source

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:
