2.2 Test write mode
The test operation is functionally similar to the write
operation, except that the writing of data to the slave
disc is simulated. This is useful to make sure that
data can be transferred at the selected rate between
the master and slave discs.
1
Press the MODE key until the display shows:
2
Press ENTER :
3
Insert the discs into the disc tray (original in the
MASTER , and the blank CD-R in the SLAVE ),
and press the ENTER key.
The test operation continues in exactly the same
way as the copy operation described above.
The display shows the same messages, under
the same circumstances, except that the word
Copy is replaced by the word Test in all these
messages.
At the end of the test procedure, the CD-D4000
does not simulate the writing of the TOC (the
finalization process), and displays:
NOTE
There is one other important difference
between test write mode and copy mode. You
can interrupt the test write mode part of the
way through the operation without affecting
the slave CD-R media. If you interrupt a copy
procedure part of the way through the opera-
tion, the CD-R becomes unusable. To inter-
rupt the test write operation, press and hold
down the
MODE key. The display will show
Exit . When this is displayed, press the
ENTER key. This cancels the test write pro-
cess, and the display returns to the initial sta-
tus screen. If you press the
MODE key while
Exit is shown on the display, the display
returns to the test write display screen.
2.3 Possible problems when
copying or in test write mode
If the MASTER or SLAVE drive does not contain a
disc, or if the disc cannot be read by the drive (it is
upside-down or badly positioned in the tray), this dis-
play will show
No disc .
If the SLAVE drive does not contain a recordable
CD-R disc, or a CD-R disc which has been previ-
ously partly recorded, the display will show
Bad
disc .
The standard maximum length of an audio CD is set
at 74 minutes. However, some commercial CDs are
recorded with a running time a little longer than this.
If the master audio CD exceeds 74 minutes in length
(or the standard maximum amount of data (650 MB)
for a CD-ROM), the display will show:
The message above will also be shown if the slave
disc is of a smaller capacity than the source disc. In
these instances, it is impossible to copy from the
master to the slave disc.
If the master disc is scratched, damaged or unread-
able for any reason, the copy process will halt, and
the display will appear as below.
If the slave disc is scratched, damaged or otherwise
unwriteable, the display will appear as below.
If the copy operation is attempted at too high a speed,
the display will show:
In the event of any of these errors being displayed,
pressing the
MODE key will return to the main mode
selection menu.
Correct the problem, if possible (replace the offend-
ing disc correctly in the disc tray, try again with a dif-
ferent disc, etc.) before attempting the copy
operation again.
