When making a copy, you will need to specify where the master is. Is it in the Source 

drive? Or is it an Image inside the Hard Drive? This tutorial will show you how to 

change the Master Reading Source to satisfy your needs.
Basically, there are 3 scenarios that require you to select the Source drive.
1.  Disc-to-Disc copy (Copy from 1st Tray) – This is the case when you would 

normally make copies on the fly. You need to set the “Source drive” as your 

Master Reading Source.

2.  Hard Drive-to-Disc copy – If you want to make copies from your Hard Drive 

Image, you need to select the source as “Hard Drive”.
There are three benefits to copy from Hard Drive:
a.  Performance – Duplicating form the Hard Drive will be able to boost 

duplication speeds.

b.  Stability – Duplicating from Hard Drive will stabilize the duplication 

process compared to the Disc to Disc duplicating.

c.  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 Master 

Discs; they are all stored inside the duplicator.

3.  Disc-to-Disc copy (Copy from 2nd Tray) – This is the case when your Master 

Disc is full of scratches. You would need to use the Writer Tray as your Source 

to make a copy and use the new copy as your new master to make more copies.
When you turn on your duplicator, after it has booted up, you should see the 

following signifying your duplicator is ready.

a.  Navigate to Source Selection Menu.

Press UP or DOWN arrow button to navigate to the following screen.
