Hardware Description

The QD-DVD system consists of a DVD reader, DVD Recorders (based on model), USB

Connection, and Controller module. An optional Hard Drive is included in the QD-DVD-H models.

The master discs always go into the DVD reader drive (top).

The blank media will always go into the DVD Recorder drives.

The power switch and power LED are also located on the front of the QD-DVD duplicator.

The USB Connection is located on the back of the QD-DVD.

The LCD display will show the different menu selections and also information pertaining to the

recording process. Here is a typical example of what is displayed during the COPY process:

QD-DVD Series

Main Menu

This section provides an overview of the menu options. These menu options are explained in

detail in the Using the QD Series Duplicator section starting on page 9.

Copy

Use the Copy menu to make CD and DVD copies. Before you start a copy, make sure

you have selected the correct Master Source.

Test

Use the Test menu to simulate the copy process. With simulation, write once recordable

discs such as DVD-R, or CDR will be reusable.

Note: DVD+R recordable media is not compatible with simulation mode. If you try to

simulate DVD+R copying, you will encounter failure messages. If you are using

Rewritable discs as your blank media during the simulation, the content on those

discs will be permanently erased.

Compare

Use the Compare function to perform a bit-by-bit comparison between the content of your

master disc and the contents of all discs it copied. This ensures that all of your copies are

identical to original master disc.

Note: The bit-by-bit comparison will only apply on all DVDs and Data CDs. The

readability check will be applied for other formats like Audio CDs, CD+G, and

Video CDs discs due to their lack of error correction mechanisms.

Test + Copy

Use the Test + Copy menu option to simulate the copying process initially. Then, the

duplicator performs the copy process on the blank disc(s) that passed the simulation.

Copy + Compare

Use the Copy + Compare menu option to make 100% reliable copies. After the copy

process is done, the duplicator automatically compares the copies from the content of

your original master disc.

Select Burn Speed

Use the Select Burn Speed menu option to adjust the duplication speed for the various

blank disc formats. For additional information, see Select Burn Speed on page 11.

Select Source

Use the Select Source menu option to specify which drive is being used as the master

drive. You should always select the DVD-ROM drive or the hard drive (if available) as

the source unless there is a specific need to use one of the recorders as the master

drive.

Erase

Use the Erase menu to erase your Rewritable discs.

Hard Drive Setup (if Optional Hard Drive is included)

This menu item only appears if your QD-DVD was originally purchased with the

optional Hard Drive. This option is not available on the 1-recorder model.

Use the Hard Drive Setup menu to access the Hard Drive functions. You can scroll

between the various options using the ▲Up or ▼Down button. For information on the

Hard Drive Setup functions, please see page 11.

AutoCopy

The AutoCopy function simplifies the copy process. After the initial round of blanks is

burned, you only need to load the drives again and close them. Once the drives detect

the new blank media in the drives, duplication begins without you having to touch the

control panel.

Shutdown

Use this menu option to save any setting changes you may have made and turn off your

system. Once you see the “Ready to Power Off” message, you can safely turn off the

machine using the power switch.

Turning off your duplicator without performing this function increases the risk of damaging

it. Additionally, if you made any setting changes, those changes may not be saved if you

simply turn off the power to the duplicator.

Setting Counters

The QD DVD Series gives you the option to set a counter so that

the machine can keep track of the number of copies made. Follow

these steps when you see a Counter Selection Menu:

The Counter Selection Menu lets you set how many copies you want to

make for your project. The Counter Selection feature tells the duplicator

to count the number of successful copies you have made and stop the job when the desired

number of copies has been reached.

You can select “No Counter” if you prefer to copy continuously with no interruption. (It will still

count the number of copies, but it will not notify you when to stop.) To select the “No Counter”,

simply press the ENT button when you see the screen above.

Or, you can select “Specify Counter” between 1 to 9999 by pressing

the ▲Up or ▼Down button to go to the Specify Counter menu:

Press the ENT button to select this option. You will see the next

Specify Counter menu.

To specify the number of copies for your project, you need to input a

four-digit number. If you need to specify a number that is less than

four digits, fill the leading spaces with zeros. Examples are “0234”

(two hundred and thirty four), or “0010” (ten).

To enter the number, you need to use the ▲Up or ▼Down button to select the number for each

digit and use the ENT button or the ESC button to move the cursor position right or left. Once

you've finished, move the cursor to “OK” and press the ENT button.

To input the desired quantity, do the following:

¾Make sure the cursor is located at the first position (First blinking position):

¾Press the ▼Down button repeatedly until “0” is displayed.

¾Press the ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.

¾Press the ▼Down button repeatedly until “0” is displayed.

¾Press the ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.

¾Press the ▼Down button repeatedly until “2” is displayed.

¾Press the ENT button once to move the cursor to the next position.

¾Press the ▼Down button repeatedly until “1” is displayed.

¾With “0021” displayed, press the ENT button once and the cursor moves to “OK”.

¾Press the ENT button once more to submit your counter value and start duplication.

Using the QD Series Duplicator

Copy

This process will copy your master disc on to several blank discs simultaneously.

Use the ▼▲ buttons to navigate to the 1. Copy Menu.

Insert your blank discs in the recorder drives. Next, you will see

the Counter Selection menu:

Follow the instructions shown in Setting Counters (above) to continue. Once the counters have

been set, press the ENT button to confirm.

As the blank discs are recognized, the number detected will

increase. Press the ENT button to start the duplication. If you

have Autostart set, duplication will begin either once all recorders

have been found to contain blank media or until the Autostart time

interval passes.

After a few seconds of processing time, one of the following Copy Progress screens will appear.

¾“0” indicates you have

¾“12%” indicates the

current progress of the

duplication.

¾488MB indicates the

amount of data burned so

far.

Note: It is normal to see the progress indicator stay at 0%-10% and 100% for

approximately 30 seconds for CD duplication and up to one minute for DVD duplication.

That is caused by the initializing and finalizing stages.

Once the duplication run is completed, the recorder drives will

eject and the number of successful and failed discs will be

displayed.

At this point, you can add more blank discs to the recorder drives and repeat the process. If you

have the Counter set, only the number of discs selected will be burned.

Test

The Test function is useful to determine if your master disc can be

successfully read.

This process is identical to the Copy process, with the one exception being that the discs will not

be burned to if the media supports test mode.

DVD+R media does not support test mode.

Running rewritable media in Test mode will cause any data on the discs to be erased.

Compare

The Compare function is used to compare the master disc with the

copied discs. The Compare function will only work with Data masters.

If your master disc has audio or video (VCD) on it, the Compare

function will not work.

To use the Compare function, press the ▼▲ buttons until 3. Compare is displayed.

Place your master disc into the DVD reader drive and your copied discs into the DVD recorder

drives.

Press the ENT button on the controller interface.

The duplicator will now compare the copies to the master disc.

When completed, the display will read:

Press the ▼button and the following screen will appear:

Press the ▼button again and the following screen will appear.

Use the ▼button to scroll through each drive that was used during
