Microboards Technology LLC  
System Overview  
The CWR-424-52 is a professional, high-speed CD recordable duplicator engineered for the rackmount  
environment. Microboards Technology has applied their expertise in tower CD duplication to develop this  
sleek, black rackmount system to meet the demands of the Pro Audio user and information systems  
professional alike. The CWR-424-52 automatically detects the format of the master CD and the four  
recorders write at a blazing 52x speed to allow for high volume duplication. Features of the CWR-424-52  
include a recording simulation mode to ensure your master can be copied safely. A simple, two-button  
interface allows the recording speed to be adjusted to slower speeds for use with media not certified for  
high-speed duplication. Taiyo Yuden media is suggested for high-speed 52x duplication.  
Advanced Features:  
4 (52x) CD recorders for high output  
One touch start for CD to CD duplication  
Selectable recording speeds up to 52x for recording stability  
Easy to read LED interface for copy status and error reporting  
Simulation mode to ensure recording stability  
Black 4U rackmount enclosure for aesthetic integration with current equipment  
Updates easily installed through CD reader

Setting up the CWR-424-52 duplicator  
Set up the CWR-424-52 duplicator with the following conditions:  
19” Rack mount position or  
On a level and stable surface  
In a well ventilated location  
Temperature and humidity:  
o Temperature: 5-40° C  
o Humidity: 20-80%RH (no dew formation)  
Do not locate the CWR-424-52 duplicator:  
Under direct sunlight (If the machine is exposed to sunlight, the light should be blocked by  
a curtain or blind.)  
In a place where there is a lot of vibration  
Near open flame  
In a place where the temperature and humidity change drastically  
Near a heating device such as a heater or furnace  
In a location where air from an air conditioner blows directly onto the unit  
Near a container filled with water such as a vase  
In a dusty location  
o Dust and dirt can decrease the productivity of the duplicator dramatically. It is very  
important to keep the system in a clean and dust free environment.  
In winter during times of low humidity or in a location where static electricity is  
generated, use an anti-static-electricity mat or humidifier to prevent static electricity.

Copy Job Completes  
The CWR-424-52 automatically ejects the drive trays after the copy finishes successfully.  
The Master disc does not eject. You can use any or all of the four recorders to make copies.

Discs will not be ejected and the error alarm beeps until you press the open tray button on the  
drive(s) that have failed. The drives that record correctly will eject the disc when completed.  
The display will show the error code. Once the trays are opened manually after the error, the  
error code is cleared.  
Changing Process Mode  
CWR-424-52 has two process modes.  
1) “Copy” mode: Copies the data from the Master CD to the blank CD-R disc(s).  
Refer to the “Copy Process” section (page 4) for operations.  
2) “Test copy” mode: Simulates copying the data from the Master CD to the blank disc(s). No
