Basic OperationBasic OperationThis section explains the basic operation of the CD Duplicator.Copying from the Optical (CD) Source DriveNote: The following instructions apply to all CD Duplicator models.1.Place a source disc in the disc tray of the source drive.2.Switch to function [1 Copy] by pressing the3.Place a blank CD-R disc into as many of the target drives as you desire,then press thebutton (if necessary).(ENT) button to start copying.You do not need to insert a CD-R disc into every available target drive. Youcan make fewer copies if you prefer. The internal controller willautomatically detect inserted discs and issue the record command to onlythose target drives that contain a blank disc.When the copy operation is complete, the CD-R disc in each of the targetdrives will be ejected automatically.Note: With the default setting, after a source disc has been successfully copied, theCD Duplicator automatically ejects the target CD-R discs. With the default setting, if the copy operation fails, the failed target CD-Rdisc remains in the target drive. To remove the failed CD-R disc, press theeject button on the target drive and retrieve the disc. Press the eject buttonagain to retract the disc tray.

Loading Data to and Copying from the Hard Disk Source DriveLoading Data to and Copying from the Hard Disk Source DriveNote: The following instructions apply only to the TASCAM CD-D17HD TowerCD Duplicator.During initialization (see Step 3 on page 7), the CD Duplicator performs a selftest to detect source drives. The CD-ROM drive and hard disk drive will bedetected as available source drives. The CD-ROM drive is the default sourcedrive.The internal hard disk drive was formatted and partitioned at the factory. Eachpartition occupies 1GB of hard disk space. The number of partitions depends onthe capacity of the hard disk drive. Partitions are arranged alphabetically andinitially contain no data. A set of data loaded into a partition on the hard disk driveis called an “image file.”To use the hard disk drive as the source drive, you must first load an image filefrom a CD onto a partition on the hard disk drive, select the partition that containsthe data you want to copy, specify the hard disk drive as the source drive, thenexecute the copy function.1.Insert a source CD into the CD-ROM drive.This disc (CD-ROM, CD-R, or CD-RW) contains the data that you wish tocopy to the partition on the internal hard disk drive.2.Press thethe/buttons to select function menu [9 Image], then press(ENT) button.The Image menu includes the Load, Delete Image, Image Info, CompareImage, Select Image and Select Src Drive functions.3.Press the/buttons to select function [9-5 Select Image], thenpress the(ENT) button to access the Select a Partition submenu.The Select a Partition submenu enables you to select a partition (A, B, C, etc.)into which to load an image file on the hard disk drive.
