Optical Duplicator Read Error Skip

Updated on Feb 24, 2026

The Read Error Skip setting allows you to enable the system to skip any read errors it encounters during a Copy process. Normally when the system encounters a read error while reading the master disc, the duplication job will be aborted and all the recordable media will fail (bad copy). If you believe that your master disc has a small, insignificant error due to physical damages; you can turn Read Error Skip to On. The default setting is Off with Retry.

There are three options for the Read Error Skip function:

  • √ Off - The system will not continue duplicating when it reads a disc error on the master disc.
  • √ Off with Retry - The system will attempt to retry duplication if it encounters a read error on the master disc. If it still cannot duplicate then the copy process will be aborted.
  • √ On - The system will skip 64KB of data and continue with the duplication process. A maximum total of 9,600KB is allowed to be skipped over.
  • √ Turbo Mode - The system will skip 64KB of data and continue with the duplication process. A maximum total of 65,500KB is allowed to be skipped over.

Note: Turning on Read Error Skip will not fix the error on the master disk, it will only skip it to make the rest of the data readable if possible.
