When you try to make a copy, you need to specify where the 
master disc is. Is it in the Reader tray? 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 
Master Reading Source. 

 

• Disc-to-Disc copy (read for READER tray) – This is the 

case when you would normally make copies on the fly. 
You need to set the “Reader” as your Master Reading 
Source. 
 

• Hard Drive-to-Disc copy (if Hard Drive installed) – If you 

want to make copies from your Hard Drive Image, you 
need to select the source as “Hard Drive”. 

 

There are four benefits to copy from Hard Drive: 

i. 

Performance – Duplicating form the Hard Drive 
will be able to boost the DVD duplication speed to 
8x or above. 

ii. 

Stability – Duplicating from Hard Drive will 
stabilize the duplication process compared to the 
Disc to Disc duplicating.  

iii. 

Durability – Hard Drive is a much better storage 
device than DVD recordable discs. First of all, 
DVD recordable discs are composed of chemical 
materials tend to degrade over a period of time 
while Hard Drives are made of magnetic disks 
which will last over 100 years. Secondly, DVD 
recordable discs are often exposed and can very 
easily be scratched on its surface, while Hard 
Drives are covered with metal and mounted inside 
the duplicator.
