A
Few Words from the President: "CD Duplicator Uses"
The uses of CD Duplicators are only limited by our imagination. Anything that can be written, seen or heard can be placed onto a CD. The cost savings are tremendous. A small private college may save ten's of thousands by delivering student manuals on CD v. text books
Octave has complied a small list of uses for a CD Duplicator.
1. Music tracks
2. Small band performances
3. Church services
4. Newsletters
5. Brochures and catalogs
6. Software updates
7. Firmware updates
8. Sales Catalogs
9. Real Estate listings with photos
10. Accounting data
11. Inventory/Stock lists for field sales
12. Field service manuals
13. User Manuals
14. School year books
15. Books on CD
16. Karaoke CDs
17. Training videos
18. Interactive Training CDs
19. Web Sites on CD
20. Text Books on CD
21. Photo Albums
If you use a CD Duplicator to produce anything not mentioned above we'd like to add your application to the list. Please send a quick e-mail to: info@octave.com

CD Copy Master Update: "Technical Support Phones are not ringing"
With hundreds of units in the field our technical support lines have been amazingly quiet.
We have had a total of five real problems! The other handful of 'problems' have either been media related i.e. recording at 24x on low speed media or people not reading the user manual. The CD Copy Master Quick Reference Guide with getting started instructions and an operational flowchart is all a user really needs. It is easy to start duplicating within seconds of plugging the system in. If a user wants to get access the full capabilities of the Copy Master this can be achieved in ten minutes with the Operational Flowchart. Full system functions and system checking are a few button presses away. We even use the built in features to test and burn-in machines ourselves here at the plant after assembly.
