Accessing the Advanced Setup Menu  
The Advanced Setup menu includes options for the more advanced user. Normally these  
functions are not used in the daily operation of the QD-DVD duplicator. If you have any questions  
about using these functions, please contact the Microboards technical support department.  
To access the Advanced Setup Menu, press and hold the ESC button for three seconds.  
UnderRun Protect  
The UnderRun Protect feature allows the recorder to use Burn Proof during recording. This  
setting defaults to ON and should remain on. This feature protects against making “coasters” or  
bad discs. Again, this setting should always remain ON.

Overburn  
The default setting for this feature is OFF. Overburn can be used with certain CD recorders, to  
allow more data to be writing to the disc. This feature is not supported by the QD-DVD duplicator.  
Read Error Skip  
The Read Error Skip feature is used if you wish to ignore read errors during duplication. The  
default setting is OFF and it is highly recommended that this setting is not changed. If it is turned  
ON, there is the possibility of copying a disc that is not the same as the master.  
Burn-in  
The Burn-in function is used to test the operation of the QD-DVD duplicator and is for service  
purposes only. This function should only be used if directly by Microboards Technical Support.

Compare Firmware  
The Compare Firmware function is used to compare the firmware installed on the controller with  
the firmware on the CD.  
H/W Diagnostic  
Hardware Diagnostics runs a number of tests on the controller. Normally this function is used by  
service personnel.  
Load Default  
The Load Default feature will set all the values back to the factory default settings.  
ISRC & MCN  
The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) & MCN (Media Catalog Number) feature  
allows you to copy this information from a CD audio master to the blank disc. The default setting  
if OFF.  
Switch USB Mode  
The Switch USB Mode allows you to enable or disable the ability to use the QD-DVD recorder  
drive as an external burner for your PC. Selecting ON will allow access to the USB Mode menu,  
which will appear as menu item 10. Selecting OFF will hide the option in the main menu.
