After a function is selected, is there any way to tell what the 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HS is doing and where it is in completing the function selected?

The 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HS is equipped with a very clear, back lighted LCD display that shows the duplicator function selected and the status of that function such as % complete while the function is running. Since all DVDs do not copy at the same speed, this is particularly useful, in that you know if you can do something else while the duplicator is copying or if it will be finished momentarily.

What copy speeds does the 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HS use?

As a default, when copy is selected the duplicator analyzes the media inserted and will adjust to the maximum speed the media can sustain. Other speeds can be manually selected.

What blank media can be used in the 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HS?

For copying DVDs at 20x, you need 20x certified media. With a good quality source disc, if the media is not 20x, then the duplicator will copy at the speed of the media.

In the case that the duplicator is having trouble making a copy, what can be done?

The first step to take is to go to “Test” and test the copy process at a lower recording speed. “Test” is supported using DVD-R/RW media. “Test” simulates the writing process. A successful Test Copy helps assure that a good quality duplicate will be made. Repeat if necessary. When you have found an acceptable speed select the “Copy” mode and make the copy. It is always a good idea to run “Test” before going to the actual copy process.

If the duplicator is having trouble reading a DVD, what can be done?

The first step to take is to go to “Prescan” and test the disc and the reading speed and making speed adjustments. If you are still having trouble, you can place the source disc in any of the DVD Recorders and try to read it. Any drive can be selected as the source drive using the “Select Src.” Function. If the disc is in questionable condition (minor scratches etc.) please try our Aleratec Disc Repair Plus (Aleratec Part # 240131). This kit will rejuvenate many discs that have been mishandled. You can also try the “Skip Read Error” function and the duplicator will ignore any read errors encountered.
