Q: 11.

Q: 12.
What is the burning speed of the duplicator?

Default speed of the duplicator is 4X. However, user can manually adjust the burn speed to 1X, 2X, 4X, 6X, 8X, 10X, 12X or 16X.

Will duplicator speed affect the quality of the duplicates?
A: Yes. The higher the speed, the lower the quality of the duplicates. However, the degree of loss in quality is very minor and is not noticeable to most people.
One thing that is very important for you to consider is whether the DVD players in the market able to play the duplicates that you made. Since there are still many DVD players in the market with play speed less than 16X, you might want to choose a lower duplication speed so that more players can play back the duplicates that you made
.

We recommend customer to duplicate at a lower speed, 4X. The lower the burn speed, the better the quality of the duplicates and more DVD players in the market able to play back. It only takes around 13-14 minutes to make copy of a full sized disc at 4X.
