Setup Menu
These menus are used to select various options available on the CD Tower.

Duplication Options
These functions set up options used during the duplication process. Use the up arrow /\ key to scroll up or press the down arrow key \/ to scroll down. Press the YES or NO key to select the desired values.
When the displayed selections are correct press the ENTER key to save or press the STOP key to exit and leave the options unchanged.
Burn CD
If set to NO the system is in simulate mode and will not actually write a CD-R. It goes through all the motions and is a good test to see if the CD Tower is in operating condition.

NOTE:
If this is set to NO the following warning message will be displayed: WARNING Copier is in SIMULATE mode, Press YES to continue or any other key to cancel and the BURN/SIM field of the LCD will show SIM (for Simulate Burn) while copying CD-Rs
Compare Master
If set to YES the Master CD will be read a second time and the new read compared with the first. If the data are not the same a BAD MASTER error will be displayed.

NOTE:
This feature is disabled for any Audio or Video tracks on the CD. This is not a limitation of the TC-8000 series, but a limitation of the CD format low-level error correction systems.
Compare Copy
If set to YES every CD-R just copied will be reread and compared to the data written (The CD-R will be Verified). If the data are not the same or there is a read error the CD-R will be considered bad and rejected.

NOTE:
This feature is disabled for any Audio or Video tracks on the CD. This is not a limitation of the TC-8000 series, but a limitation of the CD format low-level error correction systems.

Multi Image HD
If set to YES CDs read will named and stored on the hard drive for future use. Many CD images can be kept on the hard drive.

If set to NO a CD read will still be saved to the hard drive but it will have no name and will be overwritten by the next CD read.

NOTE:
If Multi Image HD is enabled and CD Images are stored on the hard drive and then the CD Tower is operated with Multi Image HD set to NO all the previous images may be lost.
Ask Quantity
If set to YES, the user will be prompted for a quantity to copy/compare. If set to NO, the machine will copy until told to stop by pressing and holding the STOP key.
Check CD-R Size
If set to YES, the copier will check that the image will fit on the blank CD-R before starting to write. If set to NO, the copier will attempt to write the image to the CD-R, even if the blank is not large enough. This may mean that copies are rejected, because the blank CD-R did not have sufficient room. This feature allows CD-Rs to be over burned.
Enable CD+G
This option is only available when Plextor PX-W124TSi recorders are installed. This will allow the copier to scan the additional R-W subcodes for the presence of CD+G data. In order to copy CD+G, this option must be set to YES. If you discover that regular Audio CDs appear as CD+G, you may want to set this option to NO.
TrueRID
This option allows the user to select whether the drive will record an RID to the duplicated media. The RID can be read using the TrueRID scan function (see Utilities). This option will be set to YES by default. If you experience problems where older professional audio equipment displays the RID instead of ISRC codes, turn this option off. This feature is available only with TrueCopy recorders.
Master Drive
This option allows the user to select which drives (recorder or CD-ROM drive if installed) will be used to read the master. Use the left and right arrow keys to select the desired drive.
Read/Write Speed
These select the drive speeds to use for each type of drive I/O. To select higher speeds press the up arrow key /\. To select lower speeds press the down arrow key \/. Only those speeds supported by the installed drive will be displayed.
When the displayed speeds are the desired speeds press the ENTER key to save or press the STOP key to leave the speeds unchanged.

NOTE:
Slowing the read speed down can sometimes help reading scratched or otherwise damaged CD-Rs.

Read Data
Select the speed used when the reader reads data tracks.
Read Audio
Select the speed used when the reader reads audio or video tracks.
Write
Select the speed used when the writing (recording / burning).

NOTE:
Make sure the CD-R media being used is rated for the speed being used. For instance if writing at 16X make sure the media is rated for 16X write
