TASCAM CD-D1x4 13
5 – Disc copy
NOTE
You should own the copyright, or have obtained the
appropriate permission from the copyright owner or
the rightful licensor. Unauthorized recording, reproduc-
tion or distribution thereof, may result in severe civil
and criminal penalties under copyright laws and inter-
national copyright treaties.
This procedure copies the material from the disc
(either an audio CD or a CD-ROM) in the
MASTER
drive to the CD-R or CD-RW disc in one of the slave
drives.
Note, however, that when copying an audio disc,
index markers greater than 1 will have their number
set to 1 on the copied disc.
Setting the writing speed
The CD-D1x4 slave drives are capable of writing
information to CD-R or CD-RW discs at one of three
speeds:
FAST 16, MEDIUM 8, or SLOW 4.
The displayed nominal speed may differ sometimes
from the actual speed of the writing operation,
depending on circumstances. These circumstances
(source material, target media, etc.) may also affect
the maximum write speed.
The writing speed is used in copying, simulation and
in track extraction operations and is set as described
below.
Once the speed is selected, it is used in the CD copy-
ing and testing modes. It has no effect on the com-
pare operations.
1 Press the
MODE button until the display
shows:
2 Press
ENTER, and then press MODE until the
screen shows:.
The bottom line of the screen may be differ-
ent, depending on the speed that it currently
set.
3 Press the
ENTER key once more.
4 Press the
MODE key to cycle between FAST,
MEDIUM, and SLOW mode.
There is also an
EXIT? option that allows
you to exit without changing anything, and
pressing the
ESCAPE key also takes you back
a level without changing anything.
5 Press
ENTER to confirm the speed selection.
NOTE
If you are in doubt what speed will work best, pick a
slow speed first and experiment with the faster settings
later. Usually, however, you should be able to copy most
discs at the highest speed recommended for the partic-
ular brand of CD-R media you are using, as specified by
the media manufacturer.
You may find it useful to test the copy procedure
before committing yourself to an actual copy, how-
ever. See “Simulation” on page 15 for details.
