This Orbit II operating mode compares the content of the master disc to each disc you copy, before the 
disc is placed in the Accept Basket.  Following every copy operation with a compare operation gives you 
the highest confidence in the discs you copy and distribute.  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. We suggest you use Orbit II’s Copy and Compare? Mode: 
 

•  When you want the highest level of confidence in the copies you produce. 

 

•  Your Orbit II is new, has been moved to a new location, or has been returned from 

servicing. 

  
•  You are using a master from a new source. 

 

•  You are qualifying a new source of blank discs. 

 
Compare operations are performed at approximately the same rate as copy operations.  Using Orbit II’s 
Copy and Compare? Operation will reduce the number of discs you can produce in a given amount of 
time by approximately 50%.   
 
The example shown below assumes Ask Quantity? is turned on.   

To initiate a Copy and Compare? operation: 

•  Make sure there are enough blank CD-R or CD-RW discs in the Input Hopper. 

 

•  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 copy the master disc, and then compare the master disc to the recorded discs, 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.
