The Setup Menu 

The Setup menu includes many settings the user can select to customize the use of the QD-DVD 
duplicator.  A description of the options in the setup menu follows.   

Note: You must use either the Shutdown menu or manually run the Save function from the 

Utilities menu, or any changes you make to the Setup Menu settings will be lost 
when you turn off your duplicator. 

Language 

The QD-DVD duplicator has multiple language options, with English being the default setting. 

Auto Start  

The Auto Start feature is used to automatically start recording, once the master disc and blank 
discs are inserted into the drives.  The Auto Start feature applies to Copy, Test, Test + Copy, 
Copy + Compare, and Erase. 
There are 3 options for this setting, 

Auto

Full

, and 

Off

.   

 

Auto

:  Starts the duplication process when all detect recordable media or 30 seconds has 

passed after the first blank disc is recognized, allowing you to leave some recorders 
empty while still using the Auto Start feature 

 

Full

:  Only starts the duplication when all drives report media as being present.   

 

Off

:  You must press the ENT button to begin the duplication process, regardless of the 

number of discs loaded. 

Read Error Skip 

With Read Error Skip 

OFF

, the duplicator will halt any job when the reader encounters an error on 

your master disc.  By changing this setting to 

ON

, duplication will continue after finding a read 

error on the master.  

Please note that this does not fix the error, and may result in unusable 

discs.

   

It is strongly recommended that you do not change this setting from the default value of 

OFF

CD Writing Mode 

This setting allows you to change the CD writing mode between the 2 options, 

Disc at Once

 and 

Track at Once

.  The default setting is 

Disc at Once

, which should be used unless you have a 

specific need to change the mode.   

Max Audio, VCD, CDG Speed 

Audio CD, Video CD and CD+G disc formats do not have internal error checking capabilities, so 
duplicating at high speeds may cause more instances of errors on the copies.  This setting allows 
you to reduce the burn speed of these specific types of discs without lowering the burn speed of 
Data CD discs. 

Buzzer 

The Buzzer function will turn the beeper on the controller 

ON

 or 

OFF

.  Using the default of ON, a 

beep is heard when a button is pressed or when any job completes. 

Startup Menu 

Allows you to specify what the default menu item will be when the QD-DVD is turned on. 

Screen Saver 

Use this setting to enable or disable the 

Screen Saver

 feature. When this is enabled, a screen 

saver is displayed whenever your duplicator has been idle for a set period of time.  

Duplication Mode 

This menu option can only be changed on the QD-DVD-H Series. 

There are 3 options available in the Duplication Mode menu: 

Load and Copy

Prompt

, and 

On 

the Fly

.  These options do not apply if the hard drive is selected as the source.
