1 IntroductionSome notes and precautions  
Rack-mounting the unit  
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a stan-  
dard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below.  
Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it.  
for details of ventilation, etc.  
Environmental considerations  
The CD-RW402 may be used in most areas, but to  
maintain top performance, and prolong operating  
life, observe the following environmental conditions:  
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position  
for correct operation. Do not mount the unit in a rack  
tilted 5° or more from the vertical position.  
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and  
35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CD-RW402 is more sen-  
sitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD  
players.  
NOTE  
If the mounting surface is more than 5 degrees away  
from the horizontal, the tray will not open or close.  
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the  
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any  
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.  
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-  
condensing.  
As the unit may become hot during operation, always  
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation.  
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of  
space above it.  
NOTE  
When transporting the unit, always use the original  
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-  
mend that you save all the packing materials that came  
with the CD-RW402, in case you need to transport it in  
the future.  
Do not install this equipment in a confined space  
such as a bookcase or similar unit.  
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should  
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that  
will not spoil the finish of the unit.  
You should not place the unit on a piece of equip-  
ment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid pos-  
sible problems with overheating.  
Beware of condensation  
If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold  
to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature  
change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in  
the air could condense on the internal mechanism,  
making correct operation impossible. To prevent this,  
or if this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours  
with the power turned on, then turn the power off and  
on again.  
About CD-R and CD-RW discs  
The CD-RW402 uses CD-R and CD-RW media, and  
can also use CD-R and CD-RW Digital Audio media.  
and CD-RW Digital Audio, even when this is not  
explicitly stated.  
In this manual, when we refer to CD-Rand CD-  
RWdiscs, we always include CD-R Digital Audio”  
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they  
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased  
or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the

disc, additional material can be recorded. The pack-  
aging of CD-R discs will include one of the follow-  
ing logos:  
for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs  
will include one of the following logos:  
However, you should note that an audio CD created  
using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily  
on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be play-  
able on the CD-RW402. This is in no way a limita-  
tion of the CD-RW402 itself, but of the difference  
between the different types of media and the methods  
used to read them.  
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the  
same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks  
recorded can be erased before the disc has been  
finalized, and the space on the disc can be re- used  
CD-R discs created on the CD-RW402, by contrast,  
may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio  
CD players.  
Handling of compact discs  
Observe the following:  
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduc-  
tion quality.  
Always place compact discs in the tray with their  
label facing upward (compact discs can only be  
played on one side).  
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down  
on the center of the case, and lift the disc out, hold-  
ing it carefully by the edges.  
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, anti-  
static sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean  
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable  
damage to the discs plastic surface.  
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to  
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser  
pickup to skip.  
Dont expose discs to direct sunlight or high  
humidity and temperature for extended periods.  
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the  
disc.  
Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped  
off the discs recorded surface with a soft cloth.  
Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has  
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris,  
so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove  
most particles.  
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-  
circular promotional, etc. discs.  
Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the  
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light  
To keep the laser pickups clean, dont touch them.  
For the same reason, dont leave the disc trays  
opened unnecessarily.

1 IntroductionFinalizing  
Additional notes with regard to CD-R and CD-RW discs  
There are additional precautions that you should take  
when handling CD-R and CD-RW discs, that are dif-  
ferent to those that you should take when handling  
ordinary CDs.  
Always store CD-R discs in their jewel casesto  
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.  
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs  
and do not use any protective coating spray.  
When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oil-  
based felt-tipped pen to write the information.  
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this  
may cause damage to the recorded side.  
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a  
disc on which you will be recording. Recording on  
a disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back,  
and fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the  
recording process.  
Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth  
and/or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl  
alcohol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or  
LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc.  
CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat  
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is impor-  
tant that they are not stored in a location where  
direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away  
from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen-  
erating electrical devices.  
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling  
of a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with  
the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.  
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs  
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or  
printable recordable discs with this player will dam-  
age the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.  
Finalizing  
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or  
CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able  
to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final  
table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start  
of the disc.  
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final-  
ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, or the disc  
may be refreshed, and the disc re-used.  
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized  
may be unfinalized, i.e. the TOC is removed. This  
allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, pro-  
vided that there is space on the disc.  
The process of writing this table of contents is known  
as finalizing. Once this has been done, no further  
data can be written to the disk. See Finalizingon  
page 40 for details.  
Recordablediscs  
In this manual, we use the term recordabledisc to  
describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been  
finalized, i.e. further recording is possible on the  
disc.  
Readablediscs  
A readable disc is one which can be read by the unit.  
In the case of drive 2, this is all discs, finalized or  
unfinalized.  
However, drive 1 cannot read unfinalized discs  
(whether CD-R or CD-RW). It can also play back  
finalized CD-RW discs.

Continuous playback  
When this is enabled (the CONT PLAY indicator is

ing back (either because the end of the disc or the end  
of programmed playback is reached), playback auto-  
matically starts on the other drive, if a playable disc  
is inserted in it.  
When a drive is not playing back, the tray may be  
opened, and the disc may be replaced with another  
disc, allowing continuous playback of varied pro-  
gram material. The order of tracks to be played back  
may be programmed on the idledrive, and on drive  
1 the TOC may be edited, etc.  
If the playback order changes to a drive without a  
playable disc loaded, the playback stops when the  
lack of a disc is discovered by the CD-RW402.

TOC Editing (drive 1 only)  
The concept of TOC editing may need a little expla-  
nation. Although a finalized (non-recordable CD) has  
its Table Of Contents (TOC) fixed, it is possible to  
fooldrive 1 into believing that the TOC is actually  
different from the real discs TOC.  
When the disc is played back, this virtual TOC is  
used, and it may therefore be used when recording a  
disc with a different TOC from that of the original.  
The virtual TOC is lost when the drive tray is opened  
or when power is turned off.  
This is done by editing the existing TOC and creating  
a virtualTOC which is the table of contents for a  
virtual disc, that is, one which does not actually  
exist.  
NOTE  
The normal Red Bookrules still apply. No more than  
99 tracks may exist in the virtual TOC, and they must  
each be at least four seconds in length.  
It is possible, for instance, to combine tracks, to split  
tracks into two, or to erase a track from the TOC. It is  
also possible to redefine the start point and end point  
of a track.  
In all these operations, remember that pressing STOP  
is equivalent to answering nowhen you are asked  
if an operation is to be performed.  
All TOC editing operations except clearing the vir-  
tual TOC must be performed in play ready (or play)  
mode.  
A disc whose virtual TOC differs from its physical  
TOC can be recognized by the NO TOC indicator  
flashing in the display.

5 Recording  
Before you start recording using the CD-RW402,  
make sure that you understand the following key  
points:  
Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be erased,  
refreshed and re-recorded.  
NOTE  
Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data  
cannot be erased from it.  
As well as recording, the CD-RW402 also provides copy  
facilities. You may want to look at Copying discson  
page 44 before starting recording, as sometimes a copy  
operation may be more appropriate than a record oper-  
ation (for instance, if you want to record a whole disc  
and make no changes to the contents, a copy operation  
is almost always preferable).  
You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable  
disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is fixedand  
behaves in the same way as a pre-recorded disc.

When playback is stopped at the start of a recordable  
disc, there are only two options available: TOTAL (the  
total time recorded so far on the disc) and TOTAL  
REMAIN (the total time available on the disc for further  
recording).  
However, during recording there are fewer options  
available (obviously, the unit cannot see into the  
future and know how much time remains of the track  
which is being currently recorded!).  
Manual track division  
It is possible to divide the recording into tracks on

the flywhile recording.  
There are three options available for track division:  
automatic division triggered by the subcode when  
making a digital recording, track divisions triggered  
by a rise in sound level, and manual settings.  
NOTE  
According to the Red Book(the specification for  
audio CDs), a track cannot be less than four seconds  
in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks  
on an audio CD. Bear these limitations in mind when  
adding track divisions.  
To make manual track divisions, while recording is  
taking place, press the RECORD key. The current  
track number is incremented by one.  
Restricting the number of tracks  
When making a recording using the CD-RW402, it is  
possible to restrict the number of tracks that may be  
recorded at one time. This applies whether the tracks  
are being divided manually, as described above  
ber here is limited by the standard limit of 99 tracks,  
and the number of tracks currently recorded.  
Every time a track division is made, the number  
shown at the right of the display goes down by one.  
When the number shown is 1, and a track division is  
made, the display shows PMA Writing and the unit  
enters stop mode.  
At any time within record or record ready mode, turn  
the MULTI DIAL or use the SKIP keys.  
The number of remaining tracks can be changed dur-  
ing recording using the MULTI DIAL.  
This sets the number of remaining tracks, as shown  
to the right of the time display. The maximum num-

If recording a long program, and the number of  
tracks has not been restricted, when there is no space  
remaining on the disc for recording, as shown by the

the unit starts a fade-out over a few seconds (the dis-  
play shows FADE OUT).

When the fade-out has finished, the display shows  
Disc Full!! for a few seconds, and the unit then goes  
into stop mode (the display shows PMA Writing).  
If the disc is a CD-RW, the final track can be erased,  
if required (see Erasing trackson page 41) and the  
disc then finalized. If the disc is a CD-R, it must be  
finalized prior to use (see Finalizingon page 40).  
These following sections cover more advanced  
recording techniques, such as synchronized record-  
ing to allow automatic starting and stopping of  
recording, automated track divisions, fading record-  
ings in and out, copy protection, etc.  
Synchronized recording  
Synchronized recording means that recording will  
begin automatically when a signal is received, and  
will stop when the signal ends.  
The display shows SYNC ON briefly, and then  
changes to the track and time display. When  
synchronized recording is enabled, the SYNC  
indicator lights in the display.  
To enable or disable synchronized recording:  
The SYNC REC key is also used to turn off  
synchronized recording (the display briefly  
shows SYNC OFF and then returns to the track  
and time display).

mode, press the SYNC REC key.  
Setting the trigger levels  
The signal level which may be used with synchro-  
nized recording operations, here called the trigger  
levelor threshold, is set as described below.  
The conditions under which an input signal is used as

mean that it takes a louder signal to trigger the start  
of the synchronized recording. A high numerical  
value (towards 72) means that a relatively quiet sig-  
nal will trigger the start of recording.

The conditions under which synchronized recording  
stops are:  
When the signal drops below the threshold for one  
second or more and then rises above the threshold  
again (this is the general condition, of which starting  
synchronized recording from a stopped or paused  
source is a special case):  
the sound level drops below the threshold level for

than the threshold, synchronized recording will not  
take place:  
To stop synchronized recording:  
1
The unit must be in record mode, and the  
SYNC indicator in the display must be lit.

time  
Because synchronized recording can be turned on  
and off while recording is taking place, it is therefore  
possible to record with a synchronized automatic  
start, and a manual end, or vice versa.  
NOTE  
When recording in sync mode, you may notice a  
slight delay between starting the source, and the CD-  
RW402 responding. This is due to the way in which  
the unit works, storing the data in a memory buffer  
before writing it to the disc. The resulting delay is  
therefore not a cause for concernall audio data  
received between the start and end points will be  
recorded.  
When the source material is being played back  
before synchronized recording is enabled, the condi-  
tions under which synchronized recording will start  
(after synchronized recording has been enabled) are:

Adding extra time at the end of a recording  
If the material being recorded from an analog source  
ends very quietly (it drops below the trigger level for  
some time before the actual end of the piece), the  
CD-RW402 may enter record ready before the actual  
end of a piece. You can allow for this by increasing  
the time between the detection of silenceand the  
change to record ready mode.

S_LVL  
NOTE  
When recording certain types of material (e.g. certain  
types of classical music or spoken word) through the  
analog connections, since the track divisions are  
determined by relative silence, it is possible that spu-  
rious track divisions will be inserted. Under these  
conditions, it may be better to use manual track divi-  
time  
You may find it helpful to use the track restriction  
page 32) together with the automatic track division.  
For instance, if you have recorded two albums on one  
DAT tape, and you wish to make two separate CDs  
from this tape, you can use the MULTI DIAL to set the  
number of tracks to the number of tracks comprising  
the first album.  
However, if recording through a digital connection, the track  
number will be incremented only when a track division sig-  
nal is received.  
When the final track of the first album has been  
recorded, the unit automatically performs the PMA  
writing procedure and enters stop mode.  
NOTE  
Note that the track division information may not be  
output by some models of CD player.

Index operations  
Many CDs contain index information as sub-track  
divisions, often in classical music to mark scene divi-  
sions in opera or the beginning of instrumental pas-  
sages, etc. The CD-RW402 also supports indexes,  
and allows you to carry out a number of useful opera-  
tions with regard to them.  
Note that although both drives of the CD-RW402 can  
display index markers, there is no index locate facil-  
ity built into the CD-RW402.

6 After recording  
This section deals with the actions taken after record-  
ing: finalizing for CD-R and CD-RW discs, and erase  
operations for CD-RW discs.  
Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly finalno more  
can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs  
can be unfinalizedusing the CD-RW402, i.e. their  
TOC can be deleted, and if there is space, further  
material can be recorded on them. Even if the disc is  
full, tracks can be erased following the unfinalize  
process, and new material can be recorded.  
NOTE  
This section refers to drive 2 only. Finalizing and erase  
operations are only possible on drive 2 of the CD-  
RW402.  
Finalizing  
As has been explained earlier (Finalizingon  
page 10), in order for a disc to become a standard  
CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written  
to it. This process is known as finalizing.  
If you do not want to proceed with the final-  
izing process, press any other key (such as  
the STOP key).  
If finalization has been chosen, the display  
changes. The NO TOC indicator goes out, and  
the word TOC and the REC indicator flash in  
the display. The unit starts counting down  
from a time shown on the display.  
An unfinalized disc can always be distinguished on  
the CD-RW402 by the NO TOC indicator under the  
disc type on the display being lit when the disc is  
inserted.  
To finalize a disc:  
After finalization, a CD-RW NO TOC changes to  
CD-RW and a CD-R NO TOC changes to a CD.  
1
With the unfinalized (recordable) disc  
loaded, and the unit in stop mode, press the  
FINALIZE key.  
NOTE  
Although CD-R discs finalized on the CD-RW402 may be  
replayed on ordinary CD players, remember that final-  
ized CD-RW discs may not play on CD players (but they  
may be played on drive 1 of the CD-RW402).  
The display shows FINALIZE OK?.  
2
To start the finalizing process, push the  
MULTI DIAL or REC key.  
Unfinalizing CD-RW discs  
If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, it is possible to  
erase the Table of Contents in the following way:  
If you do not want to proceed with the unfi-  
nalizing process, press any other key (such as  
the STOP key).  
1
With the finalized disc loaded and the unit in  
stop mode, press the ERASE key.  
If unfinalization has been chosen, the NO TOC  
indicator starts flashing in the display, and  
the word ERASE also starts flashing. The unit  
starts counting down from a time shown on  
the display.  
2
If the display does not show the word  
UNFINALIZE?, turn the MULTI DIAL until it is  
displayed.  
3
To start the unfinalizing process, push the  
MULTI DIAL or REC key.  
After unfinalization, a CD-RW indicator  
changes to a CD-RW NO TOC indicator.  
Erasing  
erase procedure will automatically unfinalize it prior to  
erasure. The disc may then have to be re-finalized. Any  
CD TEXT information (see CD TEXTon page 42) is  
therefore lost.  
Unfinalizing (described above) is a special case of  
erasing a disc. It is also possible to erase a track or  
tracks, starting with the last-recorded track, a whole  
disc, or to refresha disc.  
Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase  
procedures on a CD-R disc.  
NOTE  
Erase procedures are possible only on a CD-RW disc.

It is possible to erase the last recorded track, the last  
two recorded tracks, the last three recorded tracks,  
etc. It is not, however, possible to erase tracks in the  
middleof the disc.  
If you do not want to proceed with the erase  
operation, press any other key (such as the  
STOP key).  
NOTE  
1
With the disc loaded, and the unit in stop  
mode, press the ERASE key.  
If only one track has been recorded on the disc, only the  
erase discoption (Erasing a whole discon page 41)  
is available.

When the range of tracks to be erased has  
been selected, push the MULTI DIAL or REC  
key.  
3
Turn the MULTI DIAL to change the number  
of the first track to be erased. The highest  
value that this number can take is the last  
track recorded (for example, if 17 tracks  
have been recorded on the disc, 17-17 means  
that the last track only, number 17, will be  
erased). The lowest value that this number  
can take is 2 (if this number was 1, the whole  
disc would be erased, as described below).  
NOTE  
This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to  
erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are record-  
ings that you really want to erase!  
If the erase operation has been selected, the

7 CD TEXT  
When discs containing CD TEXT are played back on  
the CD-RW402, you can view titles of discs and of  
artists (as explained in Time display modeson  
The maximum length of a title and artist together for  
one track (or for the disc) that can be entered with the  
CD-RW402 is eighty characters, and there is a limit  
of 2900 characters per disc.  
In addition, drive 2 allows you to record your own  
disc and track titles and artists onto recordable discs.  
CD TEXT entered in this way is not visibleto suit-  
ably-equipped players until the disc has been final-  
ized and a TOC has been written to the disc.  
Each disc can have a title and artist associated with it,  
as can each track on the disc.Remember that not  
every player is equipped to read this information.  
Ejecting discs with CD TEXT data  
When a disc is ejected, the edited data (or the data  
that has been read from the disc) is cleared from the  
editing area (text data is also lost when the power is  
turned off).  
Alternatively, press the OPEN/CLOSE key once  
more to eject the disc without storing the text data.  
The data can also be stored from the menu:

8 Copying discs  
Copying discs is a slightly different process from  
recording discs.  
No volume or level processing is possible in copy  
operations, as it is in recording.  
Automatic or manual track divisions, index mark-  
ers, etc. cannot be added to the copy and pro-  
grammed playback cannot take place in a copy.  
Here are a few of the differences between putting a  
disc in drive 1 and recording it on drive 2, and mak-  
ing a copy of it using the CD-RW402.  
It is only possible to record audio discs. Copying  
allows the transfer of data stored on CD-ROM  
discs, etc. (all such copying, of course, is subject to  
copyright provisions).  
Copying a disc can take place at up to four times  
real speed (that is, 20 minutes of audio can be cop-  
ied in five minutes of real time) at either 1x, 2x or  
4x speed.  
Types of copying  
The CD-RW402 allows several types of copying to  
be carried out, as explained here:  
DISC COPY  
PGM COPY  
Disc copying. A copy of the disc is made. This differs from a recording in the ways described above.  
Program copying. A copy of the current disc is made, with the tracks recorded in the order that they have been pro-  
grammed for programmed playback (Programmed order playbackon page 24).  
A-B COPY  
A-B Copying. The A and B location points (A and B points (drive 1 only)on page 22) are used in a special way. They can  
be set on an audio disc to mark the boundaries between which the copy will be done. If location point B is set exactly 10  
minutes after location point A, then an A-B copywill produce a disc with exactly 10 minutes of material.  
A-B EXCL COPYA-B Excluded copying. These A and B points can also be used to produce an excluded copy. In other words, all of the  
source disc, except the part between the A and B location points will be copied (on the final destination disc, the sound will  
jump straight from A to B).  
DISC AT ONCE DAO copying.This allows copying of an ISO 9660 disc (such as a CD EXTRA disc)  
Some notes on copying  
NOTE  
Note that this stop operation above cannot be car-  
ried out during DAO copying.  
DO NOT turn off the CD-RW402 during a copy opera-  
tion. If power is cut off in the middle of a copy opera-  
tion, the destination disc will be spoiled.  
Index markers (except for index 00 and 01). Index  
markers above 01 are collapsedinto marker 01  
(DAO only).  
Disc at once (DAO) copying can be carried out for  
DISC (disc) and PGM (program) copying. When  
DAO copying is carried out, the TOC is the first  
item read, so that there is no gap in the recording  
process.  
ISRC data can also be copied, or not copied (DAO  
only), depending on the menu item setting (ISRC  
CD TEXT editing can be carried out at the same  
time as the copy is taking place. However, if the  
finalize option at the end of the copy has been  
selected, any edit in progress will be destroyed  
when the finalize process takes place.  
DAO is the only method available to copy ISO  
9660 discs.  
page 25) is not available during copying.  
When making a program copy of a disc with a  
complex TOC EDIT containing many tracks and a  
complex programmed playback sequence, some  
time may elapse before the start of the copy  
process.  
There may be problems with copying some discs at  
the 4x speed. In these cases, it is recommended that  
you use the 2x or 1x speed.  
During copying (except DAO), the STOP key is the  
only key available for use to halt the copy  
operation.  
During copying, the digital volume is disabled.

8 Copying discsDisc copying  
Disc copying and DAO  
The CD-RW402 allows both disc copying and disc-  
at-once (DAO) copying. The main differences  
between these two operations are explained here:  
Disc copying  
Disc at once  
Mainly used for audio.  
Cannot copy data discs.  
Mainly used for data.  
Can copy data discs, including CD-ROM, and CD EXTRA discs as  
well as audio discs.  
Choice of finalization after copying. If the disc is not finalized, fur-  
ther tracks can be added later (from other discs, if desired).  
The DAO process includes the lead-out area, and so finalization is  
automatically performed. A disc copied using DAO cannot have  
any further data written to it.  
ISRC data cannot be copied.  
ISRC data can be copied (ISRC copyon page 15).  
CD TEXT input is available (see CD TEXTon page 42).  
Audio tracks are copied.  
CD TEXT input is not available.  
The whole disc is copied in order ( (lead in/TOC, then data/audio,  
then lead out), allowing gaplessdiscs to be produced..  
Disc copying  
This operation allows the copying of audio discs  
(ISO 9660 discs are copied as disc-at-once). When  
such a copy is made, finalizing can be automatically  
performed after the disc copy has been made.

DAO copying is the only option available for CD-ROMs  
and the whole of CD-EXTRA discs (music tracks of CD-  
EXTRA discs may be copied using the copy operations  
described above).  
If the compare option has been selected for a CD-  
ROM, the comparison is carried out after the lead-out  
has been written (COMPARE 1:2 on drive 1 and COMPARE  
with a countdown time on drive 2.) This may take  
some time to complete, depending on the disc being  
copied.
