Optical Duplicator Mix Audio Tracks

The Mix Audio Tracks function will guide you through creating a mixed audio CD that contains various tracks from different audio CDs. You can mix audio tracks directly from audio CDs to blank CDs or if your system came with a hard drive, you can mix audio tracks through the hard drive.

By mixing an audio CD directly to blank CD-R media, all the tracks you selected will be transferred to the blank CD-R media directly track by track. Once you’ve completed your track selection(s); you will be instructed to finalize your mixed audio CD.

Note: Please do this cautiously; if any of the audio CD tracks you wish to mix are not readable due to scratches or poor quality, the blank CD-R media will be ruined.

	1. From the Main Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Mix Audio Tracks. Press the ENT button to enter the Mix Audio Tracks menu.
	2. You will see the Mix Audio Tracks Options screen. Press the UP or DOWN button to select Directly to Blank CD. Press the ENT button to confirm your selection.

Once the Mix Mode selection is submitted, you will see the PREPARATION screens. Any drive trays that do not contain disc(s) in them will automatically be ejected:

3. Insert discs into the drives.

After you’ve placed an audio CD containing the track(s) you wish to copy into the Reader drive and blank CD-R discs into the Writer drives, please allow 5-10 seconds for the system to detect them. If either one of the above screens is displayed for more than 2 minutes after you have placed your audio CD or blank discs into the drives, please check the disc quality.

After they have been recognized you will see the Track Selection screen:

√ 0 Trk - number of tracks selected so far. √ 0m:0s - total minutes and seconds of playtime. √ Track 1 : - currently on track 1 of the Audio CD. √ 4m:31s - current track’s running time.

	Once a track is selected, you will see an asterisk symbol (*) appear to the left of the track number. Press the ENT button again to deselect the track.
	Note: If the track you have selected will cause the total playtime to exceed your blank CD-R media capacity, you will see an Over Blank Disc Capacity screen. Press the ENT button to return to the track selection menu. The last track selected will be de-selected automatically.
