Shutdown
When turning off your BD-121 Duplicator, it is highly
recommended that you do so using the Shutdown menu option.
Not only does this function save any system settings that you
may have changed in the Setup menu, it also shuts down the
duplicator components in a safe way.
When the display reads Ready to Power OFF after selecting the Shutdown function, you can use
the power switch on the front.
The Setup Menu
The Setup menu includes many settings the user can select to customize the use of the BD-121
duplicator. A description of the options in the setup menu follows.
Note: Any changes made to these settings will not be preserved on the next reboot if you
do not either use the Shutdown menu or manually Save the settings under the
Utilities menu.
Language
The BD-121 duplicator has multiple language options, with English being the default setting.
Auto Start
The Auto Start feature is used to automatically start recording, once the master disc and blank
discs are inserted into the drives. The Auto Start feature applies to Copy, Test, Test + Copy,
Copy + Compare, and Erase.
There are 3 options for this setting, Auto, Full, and Off.
• Auto: Starts the duplication process when all detect recordable media or 30 seconds has
passed after the first blank disc is recognized, allowing you to leave some recorders
empty while still using the Auto Start feature
• Full: Only starts the duplication when all drives report media as being present.
• Off: You must press the ENT button to begin the duplication process, regardless of the
number of discs loaded.
Read Error Skip
With Read Error Skip OFF, the duplicator will halt any job when the reader encounters an error on
your master disc. By changing this setting to ON, duplication will continue after finding a read
error on the master. Please note that this does not fix the error, and may result in unusable
discs.
It is strongly recommended that you do not change this setting from the default value of OFF.
CD Writing Mode
This setting allows you to change the CD writing mode between the 2 options, Disc at Once and
Track at Once. The default setting is Disc at Once, which should be used unless you have a
specific need to change the mode.
Max Audio, VCD, CDG Speed
Audio CD and Video CD disc formats do not have internal error checking capabilities, so
duplicating at high speeds may cause more instances of errors on the copies. This setting allows
you to reduce the burn speed of these specific types of discs without lowering the burn speed of
Data CD discs.
Buzzer
The Buzzer function will turn the beeper on the controller ON or OFF. Using the default of ON, a
beep is heard when a button is pressed or when any job completes.
Startup Menu
Allows you to specify what the default menu item will be when the BD-121 is turned on.
