The system will monitor and automatically adjust the writing speed as the optical laser moves from the inner ring to the outer ring, up to the selected speed. The recorder’s maximum speed may never be reached if a lower grade disc is used. At the maximum speed, for a single recorder, duplicating a 4.7 GB DVD should not take more than 8 minutes.
Operation Manual, Xymba XB43/53 Version V1.2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why is my duplication failure rate so high? Try a lower writing speed using the software. Use a different brand of blank discs. Check the power source. Why do my discs get stuck in the disc loader during the duplication process? Check to see if the disc is the standard size (120mm). Make sure discs are level in the loader. Reduce the quantity of discs per load. Some discs may bend from the weight of the discs placed on top of them.
