This Orbit II operating mode compares the content of the master disc to each recorded disc in the Input 
Hopper.  The Compare operation works with both data and audio masters.  Data masters will be verified, 
bit for bit, against the master.  Audio masters, or masters that contain audio (such as CD Extra), will go 
through a “Read Check”.  This read check will verify that the duplicated disc can be read and has the same 
structure as the master.  Because there is audio on the disc, it cannot be “bit for bit” verified. If you are 
using Orbit II’s Copy CD-to-CD? mode we suggest you periodically perform a verify operation on some of 
the discs you copy to make sure your Orbit II is functioning properly. 
 
Compare operations are performed at approximately the same rate as copy operations.  Using Orbit II’s 
Compare? Operation will take approximately as long as it does to copy the discs at 48x. 
 
The example shown below assumes Ask Quantity? is turned on.   
 
To initiate a Compare CD? operation: 
 

•  Load the appropriate number of recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs in the Input Hopper 

 

•  Press the     No     key at the  

 

 

 

       prompt. 

 
•  Press the     No     key at the  

 

 

 

       prompt. 

 
•  Press the    Yes     key at the  

 

 

 

       prompt. 

 

•  When the    

 

 

 

 prompt appears, use the  Yes  and   No   keys to 

set the required number of discs in Orbit II’s counter.  Pressing the   Yes    key accepts the 
number above the underline cursor, and tells Orbit II you are ready for the next operation. 
Pressing the   No   key increments the number above the underline cursor.  (If you accidentally 
press the Yes key at the “10s” digit and move to the “1s” digit before you are ready, you can get 
the cursor back to the “10s” digit by pressing the No until the “1s” digit changes from “9” to “0”.) 

 
•  When the CD Reader tray opens, place your master in the CD Reader tray and press   Yes   . 

 

•  Orbit II will compare the master disc to the recorded discs in the Input Hopper until the 

requested number of discs are accepted. 

 

•  You can add discs to the Input Hopper, remove discs from the Accept Basket, or remove Discs 

from the Reject area at any time. 

 

 

Copy CD+G is used to copy CD+G or Karaoke CD discs.  The copy function is the same as copying data or audio 
CD’s, as described in section 6.1.  If you wish to copy CD+G discs, you must select this function.  If you use the 
Copy CD to CD function, the graphics portion of the CD will not be copied.  Copy and Compare and Compare 
functions are not available when copying CD+G discs.
