The RX-100SA has two duplication modes: 1 to 1 Duplication and Multi-MasterDuplication. A hard drive must be installed to operate in Multi-Master Duplica-tion mode. The unit is designed for easy installation of an optional hard drive.
1 to 1 Duplication is the default duplication mode and is the only duplicationmode available if a hard drive is not installed. In 1 to 1 Duplication mode yousimply load a master disc in the source drive (located on the left side of theunit), select 1 to 1 Duplicate (press Enter), set the quantity of discs to dupli-cate, and press Enter. The RX-100 then cycles your blank discs from the inputtank through the burner and ejects completed discs into the output tank. Re-fer to page 10 for more complete instructions.
Multi-Master Duplication Mode allow you to automate the duplication of sever-al small jobs in one easy step. Simply create sets of master and blank discsand place them in the input tank. Select Multi Duplicate and press enter. TheRX-100 will automatically load the master disc to the hard drive and thenmake copies until it either runs out of blank media or comes to the next mas-ter disc. See the illustration below for further clarification.
