CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 System Startup Before duplicating can begin, it is necessary to review a few details. • Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the upper receptacle at the rear of the unit. • Next, verify that the voltage selector switch is set correctly. It is located between the two power receptacles. The CD-5916 supports both 115 VAC and 230 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz. Please confirm that the appropriate voltage (115 VAC for North America) has been selected.
CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 • Make sure you power on the unit using the switch seen below, which is located on the back of the CD-5916. • Once the proper voltage setting has been confirmed, it is time to turn on the unit. The power switch is located at the back of the unit, above the AC power input. Wait a minute or two while the system starts up. The screen will now read: MF I N C .
CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 Loading A Disc • After the CD-5916’s power has been switched on press the eject button on the front of the recorder to open its disc tray. • Load by carefully placing the disc (label side up) into the recessed area of the disc tray, so that the disc lays flat. • Press the eject button on the front of the recorder to close the disc tray.

CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 Comparing Discs (CD-to-CD TOC) In addition to the comprehensive byte-for-byte CD-to-CD and hard disk image compare features of the CD-5916. Discs can also be quickly checked against an original CD (master disc) using a CD-to-CD TOC compare process. This method compares the Table of Contents (TOC) area of discs only, and is intended as a fast way of identifying that they are the same. It is not, however, designed to be a complete inspection process.

CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 Working With CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) Discs In addition to working with CD-Recordable (CD-R) discs, the CD-5916 can also copy both to and from CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. CD-R discs are write-once and can be read on any CD audio player, CD-ROM, and MultiRead DVD-ROM drive. CD-RW discs can be rewritten to as many as 1,000 times and are read using MultiRead CD-ROM (usually 24x and faster) and DVD-ROM drives.
CD-5916 Operator’s Guide Document Revision: 060102 Converting From Track-at-Once To Disc-at-Once Discs produced on the CD-5916 are identical copies to the master discs from which they were made. This means that, for example, when an unfinalized Track-at-Once master disc is copied the resulting disc is written so that it is also an unfinalized Track-at-Once disc. From time to time it may be necessary, however, to convert open Track-at-Once discs to Disc-atOnce discs.
