ROM: Read Only Memory. Rom is memory that normally can only be read, but not written to.
Types of ROM:
1. ROM: Basic, hard-coded ROM that has its data implanted at the time of manufacture.
2. PROM- Programmable ROM: Usually is manufactured as blank ROM, and can be written to 1-time by 'burning' fuse links inside the device.
3. EPROM- Erasable Programmable ROM: A PROM device that can be erased through some means. This term is not generally used, as a more-specific method of erasing is usually part of the acronym (See EEPROM and MPROM below). A chip that can be erased by applying light to a window may use this term.
4. EEPROM- Electronically Erasable Programmable ROM: This indicates that the ROM device is erasable through an electronic signal, applied to an "Erase" input. When the correct logic signal (high or low depends on manufacture of the device), the device is "erased" back to it's default state.
5. MPROM- Magnetically Erasable Programmable ROM: This is similar to an EEPROM, except that the device is erased by exposing it to a magnetic field.
Another use of the term 'ROM' is CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM). This is a removable media format that is contained on an optical disk. As these discs can only be written to once, they are considered to be Read-only memory. (Note that "rewritable" disks exist...they are commonly designated as "CD-RW" and "DVD-RAM" or "DVD-RW") and would be similar to an EPROM in application.

The original recording is the source for all copies. That is the master. At first thought, one might theorize that all copies of DVDs and CDs for that matter are the master, since digital information does not degrade from generation to generation. This however is only true if all copies from the true master are processed digitally.
It sounds like you have a defective machine. If under warranty, either take it back to the store if the manufacturer supports that procedure or return it to the manufacturer. If out of warranty buy one of a different brand.

When was the bansuri invented?
Bansuri is certainly a primordial instrument and to arrive at an exact date when it was invented does not seem possible. But we can take some educated guesses at this.
Krishna who is considered to be the 9th avatar of Vishnu, is the most famous player of bansuri in history. As a youth he used to be a cowherd and it is said that by his mesmerizing flute playing he not only used to bring back lost cows but used to enchant the whole town of Braj, especially the milk women folk.
Krishna's birth is dated by historian to be anywhere between 1400 B.C. to 5800 B.C.. By deduction, bansuri has to have been invented much before the time of Krishna. So we are talking about the date of 'invention' older than 3400 years or may be even older than 7800 years!
Apart from the story of Krishna, there are many references to bansuri in the old scriptural text of India. In one of the most important books on Indian music theory, Sangeeta Ratnakara (13th century), Sarangadeva refers to 13 different sizes of flute. Also, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta (2nd century B.C.) have murals depicting bansuri players.
The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts in the world dating from 1500-500 B.C. The vedic texts refer to the flute as venu. It was used as accompaniment to vedic recitations along with veena.
