LaCie Dupli Disc CD121
User’s Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie Dupli Disc CD121, the first of a new generation of smart and easy-to-use
devices dedicated to CD duplication.
A true stand-alone CD-duplication solution, your LaCie Dupli Disc CD121 is completely autonomous, requiring no software or
computer to duplicate CDs. To ensure fail-proof CD duplication, the LaCie Dupli Disc CD121 provides a duplication test
function, allowing you to simulate a record without actually recording to the CD. We recommend using this feature if you feel
your master CD may be scratched or damaged. This will help you to use your blank CD-R media more efficiently.
Thanks to its flexible USB 2.0 port, you can also connect it to your PC or Mac to use it as an external CD-RW drive and burn
your own audio or data CDs for your entertainment, data transfer or archiving needs.
We are confident the LaCie Dupli Disc CD121, designed for maximum performance and flexibility, will become a vital tool in
your everyday business and personal computing activities.
Important Note:
Although it features a DVD-ROM drive, you cannot copy DVD-ROM or DVD-Video discs with the
LaCie Dupli Disc CD121. The DVD-ROM drive does, however, provide greater flexibility and better overall
performance than an ordinary CD-ROM drive.
Important Note:
The LaCie Dupli Disc CD121’s DVD-ROM drive cannot be used in Connected Mode. Only the CD-
RW drive is recognized by the computer and can be used.
