Chapter 1 Introduction
Introducing the DVD Duplicator Systems
This Kingdom One touch™ is a high speed, multi copy DVD Recordable duplication
system, enabling you to copy DVDs up to 16X speed. It provides efficient duplication of
compact disk with excellent accuracy. With its professional design and multi-function
LCD panel, the unit is particularly easy to operate.
If your system includes a hard drive, you can load an original DVD onto the hard drive
and use all of the available DVD-RW drives to duplicate multiple DVDs all at once. The
hard drive has partitions of five gigabytes each. You can load up to 1 DVD in each
partition on the hard drive and duplicate from one partition at a time. You can also use
each partition in the hard drive to load selected tracks from any number of DVDs and
then duplicate the loaded tracks to multiple DVDs.
If your system does not include a hard drive, you can use the first DVD drive as the
reader, and the remaining drives for duplication.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The best maintenance for your system is preventive maintenance. Using a system in an
area with excessive dust, smoke or other contaminants is not recommended because it
will increase error rates and reduce hardware life expectancy. Some light exterior
cleaning can be performed, but there is no substitute for a clean environment.
For Best Performance
For best results always use high quality media. Kingdom One touch™ duplicators
have been thoroughly tested with most major optical media makers for
maximum compatibility. Kingdom Platinum media is our first recommendation
for excellent results. Please visit us at www.kingdom.com.

Chapter 3 Simple Basics
Overview
This chapter covers procedures for the most frequently used functions of the DVD
Duplicator, which are as follows:
• Duplicating (Copying) a DVD
• Copying a DVD to the Hard Drive
• Duplicating from the Hard Drive
• Copying Selected Tracks to the Hard Drive
• Burning Composite DVDs from a Hard Drive Partition
• Selecting or Changing the Source (Master DVD or Hard Drive)
• Selecting a Specific Hard Drive Partition as the Source
Copying a Master DVD
Duplicating (Copying) from DVD to DVD is the most frequently used function of the system.
This procedure provides step-by-step instructions for making duplicates from a Master DVD.
1. Turn on the system. Note that the 1.Copy command is displayed. Your LCD display should
look like this:
2. Place the Master DVD in the top drive. This is the drive that functions as Master or “source”
drive.
3. Place one or more blank DVDs in the remaining drives. It doesn’t matter which drive(s) you
use; the system will automatically detect which slave or “destination” drives have blank
discs in them ready to be copied to.

User’s Guide
DVD Duplicator Series
4. Press the ENT button. The system will begin by copying information from the master DVD to
the DVDs in the slave drives. Red lights on the slave drives indicate when information is
being written to the discs in those drives. The master drive flashes a green light, indicating
that it is reading and copying the information. In the LCD panel display, the status of the
copy operation is indicated. For example:
5. When the copies are finished, the copy disc drawers will automatically open and the LCD
panel will display the status of the successful duplication process:
6. Remove the duplicated DVD(s) from the drive(s) and close the drive(s) using the open/close
button on the DVD drive.
7. Unless you intend to make more copies of the same master DVD, remove the master DVD
from the Master (source) drive.
8. Press the ESC button to return to the Copy function.
Loading a DVD onto the Hard Drive
This procedure applies only to systems that have a hard drive installed . It explains how to copy
the contents of a DVD onto a partition on the hard drive. Once a DVD is copied to the hard
drive, it is easy to make duplicates using all of the available DVD-RW drives.
1. Turn on the system. Note that the copy command is displayed. Your LCD display should
look like this:
2. Place the DVD to be loaded onto the Hard Drive into the Master Drive (the top drive of your
system).

3. Use the down arrow button to display the 9. Image function.
Press the ENT button to select the Image function. Note that the LCD panel display shows
which partition of the hard drive the DVDs contents (Image) will be load into. (To learn
more about how to select a particular partition on the hard drive, see page 16). In the
following example, the image will be loaded into hard drive partition A:
4. Press the ENT button. The LCD panel display will indicate the status of the load process by
displaying the percent of the DVD’s contents that have been loaded, the number of tracks
that have been loaded, etc.
In the following example, we can see that the contents of the Master DVD are being
loaded into partition A of the hard drive. This particular “snapshot” shows that 18 percent
of the DVD has been copied, 2851.5 MB of data remains to be copied, and 7 minutes and
26 seconds is the estimated time to complete the copy from the master DVD to the hard
drive:
When the load process is complete, the system will beep and display the following
message:
You have now completed the process of loading a master DVD onto the hard drive.
5. Remove the master DVD from the Master (Source) drive.

a DVD that has been loaded onto a partition on the hard drive to blank DVDs in all of the
available DVD-RW drives in the system.
1. Turn on the system. Note that the copy command is displayed. Your LCD display should look
like this:

5. Then press the ESC button to return to the list of functions and use the up and down arrow
keys to redisplay the 1. Copy function. Note that the Copy function now indicates the hard

“source” is partition A:
The copy function is indicating that it will be copying from partition A of the hard drive. To
learn how to select a different partition, refer to page 16.
6. With the copy function displayed in the LCD panel, place blank DVDs in the available disc
drives and press ENT button. The system will scan for blank DVDs and then write to those
DVDs, copying the data from the displayed partition letter of the hard drive. Note that the
DVD drives that are being written to from the hard drive have a blinking light, indicating
that the copy session is in progress. The status of the copy operation is indicated in the
LCD panel display. In the following example, the “snapshot” shows that 1256.7 MBs of the
data remain to be copied from partition A, and that 44% of the data has already been
copied, and that the remaining time for the copy process is 22 minutes and 34 seconds.
7. When the copy process completes, the disc drawers will automatically open and the LCD
panel display will indicate the status. In the following example, 7 DVDs were successfully
written to from partition A of the hard drive:
You have now completed the process for using the hard drive to make DVD duplicates.
8. Press the ESC button and note that the system is still set to copy from partition A unless you
select a different source (using the 8.Select Source function)

Chapter 5 Using the Hard Drive Partition as the Source
Overview
This chapter pertains to systems that contain a hard drive.
For systems that have a hard drive, the user can do the following:
• Load a DVD into a specific partition of the hard drive (9-01.Image Load)
• Delete the contents of a partition on the hard drive (9-02.Delete Image, page 22)
• Review the contents of a partition on the hard drive, such as Image Type: DVD, and
Capacity: 2903 MB (9-03.Image Info, page 22)
• Compare the contents of the working partition with the contents of the target DVD
(9-04.Compare Image, page 22)
• Select a Hard Drive Partition (Image) (9-05.Select Image, Page 22)
• Select the Image Source Drive (9-06. Image Src Drive, page 23)
The hard drive in the DVD Duplicator system contains partitions. Each partition can store
five gigabyte of data. Therefore, with an 80GB hard drive you can load as many as 12
DVDs into the hard drive. And you can duplicate the information that is in a particular
partition onto all available DVD drives at once. Each partition in the hard drive is labeled
as shown below:
