Power On

After the power is turned on the TC-8000 CD-R Tower goes through a series of self-tests. If the Main Menu prompt does not appear within a minute or so see the Error Messages section of this manual.

Quick Start Copying (Not CD to CD)
This quick start section assumes the Duplication Options (Setup Menu|Duplication Options) are set as shipped from the factory. If they are not or if these instructions do not work then go to the Operation chapter of this manual for detailed operating instructions.

Use the up /\ or down \/ arrow keys to put the > cursor (on the Left of the LCD display) next to the Start Copying menu line. Press the ENTER key to select that menu function. If there is already a CD image on the hard drive the following prompt will be displayed:

Read New Master?

Press the YES key. The next prompt will be for a CD Image name (this will be the first prompt if there are no images on the hard disk).

Enter Image Name
[ ]

To use the default name just press the ENTER key at this point. (See the Entering Text section of the Operation chapter for instructions on entering an image name.) Next the system will ask for the number of CD-Rs to copy:

Enter Quantity
[ ]

Press the up arrow key /\ to set the quantity to [0001]. Then press the ENTER key to accept the quantity. The top drive tray will open and the following prompt will be displayed:

Insert Master CD...
Press any key.

Put the Master CD in the tray and press the ENTER key. The tray will close, and the master disk will start analyzing, then reading. When the Master CD is read the tray will open and the following prompt will be displayed:

Get Master CD...
Press any key.

Get the Master CD from the tray, put a blank CD-R into the tray and press the ENTER key. The CD-R Writer tray will close and you are copying your first CD-R! There is a timer at the top right corner of the display. This counts down, and shows the approximate time to go before the end of the recording.
