Removable Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Carriage Lever

Drive
Key in Lock
Your Duplicator SA is equipped with a removable hard disk drive (HDD) for storing images of frequently copied discs. Storing an image of a disc you want to copy on an HDD improves duplication speed, and adds the convenience of not having to look around for the actual source disc you want to copy.
Your removable HDD provides extra security, in that you can remove the drive containing the disc images and put it in a safe place where no un-authorized users can copy or view the data.
The removable HDD includes a keyed lock to protect the data on the drive from being misused or stolen. The HDD is used in the copy process as described in the user guide.
Note: The HDD will not work unless it is secured in position with the carriage lever and locked with the key. Do not unlock the HDD during operation, as you will destroy any copies you are making.

Unpacking the Unit
Your system was shipped in one box and contains the 1:15 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower
Duplicator SA and cables.
Carefully open the box and remove the top protective foam padding. Remove the contents with care to avoid damage.
Note: It is important to keep the original shipping container and packaging. In the event you misplace your packaging and need to ship the 1:15 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Duplicator SA, you should first contact technical support to purchase a new shipping container.
Shipping the 1:15 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Duplicator SA without proper packaging will void your warranty.
Connect the Cables and Apply Power
Plug power cords into the two power supplies of the 1:15 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower
Duplicator SA, also located on the rear side. Make sure the red switches are set to match your local voltage. Plug into power outlets.
If you’d like to access the unit’s internal HDD, plug the USB 3.0 Cable into the USB connector located on the center rear of the 1:15 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Duplicator
SA. Connect the other end of the USB cable into an available USB 3.0 or 2.0 port on your PC.
Note: Use only with a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port. This system cannot be used with USB 1.1, as this will greatly affect system performance. If windows displays a message that a fast USB device is detected on a slow USB port, then you will need to upgrade your computer by adding a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port.
