5.4. Select Menu - Repairing Discs
Repairing your first discs
Remove the discs that need to be repaired from their cases. Put the cases aside and place the discs
on the “stocker” in the changer unit (see item 25 on page 11.) Make sure you put the discs in the
changer unit with THE LABEL SIDE DOWN and push them back to the white posts. (See photo
below.) The changer will not handle more than 50 discs at a time. Remember, the side to be repaired
must be “up.” For double sided discs, repair one side and then reload the disc with the “other” side
facing upwards. Always close the changer door and the latch before running the machine.
White posts
Stack discs (label side down) here
Press in this latch (latched
position)
after closing the door. Machine will
not run with the latch open.
When repairing discs in the Eco Master it is helpful to visually inspect the discs and sort them. Look
for discs that are “heavily damaged” and put them in one pile. Then put discs that are “scratched” in
another pile and those that are only “lighted scuffed” in a third pile. Now you can select the type of
repair that is appropriate and most efficient for each stack. It requires a little experience to classify the
discs but most operators learn this very quickly.
This procedure may take a minute extra but it saves time in the long run. It is also better for the discs.
For example, if all discs were run in the “deep” mode, whether they needed it or not, it would take extra
time for the extra stages of repair. In addition, the discs would be sanded down more than necessary.
You can repair a disc many times in the Eco Master with excellent results. However, it is always best
to repair discs at the least aggressive level to get the job done.
Now, follow the directions on the next pages.
23

5.4.1 Main menu screen - Disc Repair
The menu for operations is displayed after initialization. Select Disc and mode, and touch the “Start”
after placing discs in the Changer. The machine will start to repair discs. Several messages
(demands for replacing water, Filters, and Pads, etc.) are displayed in “Message Display” area of the
screen. You won’t be able to start operations if messages are displayed there.
*The machine will stop after all the discs have been picked up from the “stocker” or after the machine
tries (and fails) three times to pick up a disc in the Changer.

2. Select media type (CD, DVD)
3. Select repair mode (Deep, medium, light, etc.)
4. Press “START”
It’s really that easy! You may leave the machine and come back later to retrieve your repaired discs. If you
remove discs from the output spindle while the machine is running, make sure you put it back for the next
repaired discs coming out of the unit. Close the changer door and latch it! For sanding repairs, read on . . .
25

Replacing Consumable items
Now that you are repairing discs, you need to know about replacing the supply items. The following
items assume that the machine is cleaned regularly as described later in this manual.
• Replace all of the colored pads (but not the #1 foam pad) every 40-50 discs.
• Replace the #1 foam pad every 250 discs (more frequently if pad is heavily worn.)
• Change the polish water (water/“D” solution) every 250 discs or when the water looks milky,
whichever comes first. If water level is low just add some more. Replace the 1 st . tank filter at
this time (every 250 discs.) Clean both inner and outer pipes carefully at this time.
• Replenish the compound when the bottle gets down to only 1/3 full.
• Replace the Reactor pipe when the water gets milky quickly or every 1500 discs.
• Replace the Inner pipe if it has brown or red corrosion on it.
Game Cube discs
Game cube discs may be repaired on the ECO MASTER. They require a special adapter to
hold them and they may only be processed one at a time. Do not put more than one of them on the
loading stack. Process the one disc and then put another game cube in the holder and do that one.
5.4.2 Sanding (For very deep scratch removal on CD’s only)
The screen below is displayed when you touch “Start” in the “Sanding” mode. This is only for BADLY
damaged CD’s, not DVD’s. The machine starts operating when you select a sanding level and touch
“OK”.
Rough Sanding
Select the Level.
Level 3 Level 2 Level 1
Are you sure?

5.8 Error Messages
They are displayed when an error with the machine happens. ERROR MESSAGES WILL OCCUR
OCCASIONALLY. MANY TIMES THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE PAD THAT WAS
IN USE AT THE TIME. Sometimes you will want to replace all the pads and reset the pad counters to
zero. Most errors occur due to minor changes in water supply, certain conditions of the disc, condition of
pads, centering of pad on the pad holder, etc. It is not a big problem. The computer electronics monitor
all of the frictions, speeds and pressures. If all of these factors are not exactly what the machine expects,
an error message may result. It does not mean that the machine is broken.
Push the [POWER/PAUSE] Switch after the trouble is settled.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Supplement Compound
Supplement Compound when “Compound Adding” message appears on Main menu Screen.
Confirm that the bottle is over ¾ filled with Compound before operation.
CAUTION!
If the level of Compound is too low and/or air gets into the Compound tubing, pump out the air from
it completely. If there is air in it, you might get a poor finish on the disc or, at worst, a damaged one.
6.2 Supplement Water
The height of the Polish Water must be higher than the Water Supply Pipe. (Note “Lower Level”
label)
Confirm the height of Polish Water before operation. More water is better than too little water.
Abrasion without supplying Polish Water can cause disc and Pad damage.
Water Level
Water tube
Tip must be below
the water level, and
about 2” above the
bottom of the tank
6.3 Daily maintenance
1) The Drainage Pipe has to be turned facing upward before removing the 1 st tank.
Remove the 1st Tank by pulling the handle and pulling it forwards. Be careful of the funnel.

4) Clean up the Funnel using brush and water.
5) Put a new 1st Filter in the 1st Tank and turn the end over the top of the Tank.
Expand the inside of the 1st Filter.
6) Pour Polish Water to 1st Tank.
Polish Water is needed! Fill up to the level of the drainage
tube. Make it according to the standard mixture ratio with
Distilled Water and “Solution D”.
37

7) Re-assemble all the parts 8) Install the 1st Tank on top of the 2nd Tank
as they were before.
Make sure that Terminal contact brackets
make firm contact with the inner and outer pipes.

Lower contact

9) Rotate the Drainage Pipe downwards
and put it into the hole of the 2nd Tank.
6.4 Weekly maintenance
Cleaning the machine is necessary to insure continued operation and good performance. Wipe
down all surfaces that accumulate debris and residue from the disc repairing process. This may be done on
weekly basis or on a daily basis. Use your judgment based on the number of discs repaired and the amount
of residue build-up in the machine. A clean machine will always perform better than a dirty one!
Especially, clean up the “Splash Cover” and the “Turntable” with a soft cloth. Also,
clean the hex shaped hole in the middle of the turntable. Using a standard liquid glass
cleaner on the cloth helps.
