Connecting Via USB Technical note: Note that only the top drive (named 00 IDE0) can be connected via USB (regardless of whether it is your source drive or not). The top drive is the default source drive (see page 23, Select Source.) Your LaCie Dupli-125 can also be used as a standard USB DVD±RW when connected to any USB-equipped Mac or PC. This feature is useful for creating Master CDs/DVDs. However please note that, in USB mode duplication is no longer possible, as you will only be able to use one of the DVD±RW drives (the top drive). Once you have created your master disc, you will need to switch back to Standalone mode to duplicate it. ■ 3.2.1. How to activate USB connectivity on your duplicator: 1.
