During the duplication process, data will be simultaneously written to all

DVD/CD Recorders detect the discs are present, press the OK button,

2. The LCD will display the status of the copying process.
3. When Copy is nished, discs which have passed will be ejected

the OK button to eject any failed discs.
Note: DVD-RW discs which already contain data can also be used as blanks
in the DVD/CD Copy Tower. Any data stored on DVD-RW discs will be
automatically erased before copying new data. Be sure you do not want data
on DVD±RW discs inserted as blanks as any DVD±RW discs inserted in the
DVD-Recorders to be used as blank media will automatically be erased, and

Test
This function is a test process that simulates data being written to the
blank disc, without actually burning a DVD or CD. When the test process
is complete, the discs will remain blank. For ±RW discs that contain data,
“Test” will quick erase all old data before simulation. Therefore, never
perform “Test” on ±RW discs that contain important data.
1. Using the arrow buttons (or) select “Test”. Press the OK button to
start the disc simulation, or press ESC to exit. Pressing ESC before the
simulation is complete will not affect the disc and they will still remain
blank.
2. For -RW discs that contain data, Test will perform a Quick Erase before
the actual testing. Thus, never run Test on -RW discs that contain
important data.
3. The LCD will display the status of the erasing and testing of the DVD.
4. When the process is completed, the LCD will display the status.
