Recording a Disc
With the Video Input selected and the Record Quality selected you are now ready to make a recording.
Inserting a Disc
It is most important that you handle DVD+R / RW discs with care. Do not touch the underside of the disc,
fingerprints, smudges and scratches are likely to make the recording fail. Discs should be stored in a cool,
dry place out of direct sunlight; they should not be exposed to extremes of temperature.
Formatting a New Disc
If you are using a brand new disc that has never been recorded previously, it must first of all be formatted.
The MP6000 MD will automatically format a new disc for you.
Press the Eject button, the message OPEN will be displayed on the LCD display, and the disc tray will
open.
Place a new DVD+R / RW disc on the disc tray; label/printed side up.
Press the Eject button again, so that the tray retracts, and the CLOSE message appears.
After a few seconds the message will change to READING, and after a few more seconds it will return to
the general display.

After about 20 seconds the message will disappear, and the disc is ready to use.
