While the slave disc is being checked, the words 

Checking Media 

will appear on the screen.

While the master disc is being checked, the 

words 

Checking Data

 will appear on the 

screen.

If the CD-D4000 MKII does not detect any 

potential problems with the discs, copying will 

start.

The first part of the disc to be copied is the TOC 

(Table of Contents). While this is being written, 

the display shows:

6

When this has been written, the data is copied 

over, and the percentage which has been written 

is shown on the display, along with an animated 

display to indicate that writing is currently in 

progress:

7

After the percentage counter goes over 

99%

, 

the CD-D4000 MKII “closes” the disc, and the 

display shows: 

8

When the “close” operation is complete, the 

display will show:

You can now remove the discs using the eject 

buttons on the drives (these are disabled while 

the copy process is taking place). Alternatively, 

you can compare the original with the copy (see 

7, "Compare CD-ROM").

6 - Test before disc copy

The test operation is functionally similar to the write 

operation, except that the writing of data to the slave 

disc is simulated. This is useful to make sure that data 

can be transferred at the selected rate between the 

master and slave discs.

1

Press the 

MODE

 key until the display shows:

2

Press 

ENTER

:

3

Insert the discs into the disc tray (original in the 

MASTER

, and the blank CD-R in the 

SLAVE

), 

and press the 

ENTER

 key.

The test operation continues in exactly the same 

way as the copy operation described above.

First, the destination slave CD-R media is 

checked (

Checking Media

), followed by a 

reading of the source master disc (

Checking 

Data

).

Next, the writing of the TOC is simulated (Test 

Writing TOC), and then writing of the data is 

simulated, with a percentage counter displayed:

At the end of the test procedure, the CD-D4000 

MKII simulates the “disc close”, and displays:

followed by:

NOTE

There is one other important difference between 

test write mode and copy mode. You can interrupt 

the test write mode part of the way through the 

operation without affecting the slave CD-R media. 

If you interrupt a copy procedure part of the way 

through the operation, the CD-R becomes unus-

able. To interrupt the test write operation, press 

and hold down the 

MODE

 key. The display will 

show 

Exit?

. When this is displayed, press the 

ENTER

 key. This cancels the test write process, 

and the display returns to the initial status screen. 

If you press the 

MODE

 key while 

Exit?

 is shown on 

the display, the display returns to the test write dis-

play screen.
