DUPLICATING A CD
You can duplicate any physical disc located in the internal drive or any
external changer. These discs are for backup purposes only.
Follow these steps to duplicate a CD:
1. Press the MUSIC key to make sure you are in the Music source
mode.
2. Press the RECORD key to display the Music Record Options
menu.
3. Select the DUPLICATE A DISC button to display the Music
Record Select Guide.
4. Select a CD from any external changer or select the internal
drive’s CD. A check mark will be placed next to the selected
disc.
5. Press the RECORD key again to continue the recording process
and display the Music Record Progress - CD Read screen.
6. The MS300 will read the selected CD and create an “image” of
the CD on its internal hard drive. Note: If you selected any songs
which are from changer based CDs, this process may take a
while to complete as the CD must be read in realtime.
7. After the entire CD has been read, the MS300 will eject the CD
tray and ask you to insert a blank CD.
8. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc and close the CD tray by
pressing the Eject button on the front panel. Note: If you are
duplicating an audio CD, you must use royalty paid blank CDs
which are typically marked as “audio” or “music” CDs. Data
CDs typically used in computers can be used for duplicating
MP3 CDs.
9. The Music Record Progress - CD Write screen now appears as
the CD image is written to the blank CD.
10. When the CD is complete, the new disc you created will be
ejected. Remove the disc and close the CD tray.
