Q: What kind of disc media is supported with the MP-6000?
The MP-6000 uses DVD+R or DVD+RW media. It will not support dual-layer or DVD-R/DVD-RW media.
Q: Does the MP-6000 have a DVD menu?
Yes, the MP-6000 creates a thumbnail view of every clip recorded on the disc.
Q: Can the MP-6000 record video from a black and white video source?
Yes, because the MP-6000 has a built-in TBC which does not require color burst.
Q: Can I connect the MP-6000 directly to my PC or Mac computer via the firewire cable?
No, the firewire connections on the MP-6000 can only be used with a DV camera or DV deck.
Q: I have all of my cables connected but I am unable to see my source video.
Check the input setting on your MP-6000. If the correct input type is not selected, then the source video will not be detected by the recorder.
Q: I am trying to start the recording process but when I press “play” and “record” at the same time nothing happens.
Press the “play” button while holding down the “record” button. This should cause the unit to begin the recording process.
Q: Can I disable the DVD menu?
No, the DVD menu is created automatically with every burned disc.
Q: Can the MP-6000 be used in extreme temperatures?
The MP-6000 must be operated within the following temperature ranges 5 to 45 degrees Celsius (41 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit)
Q: Can I playback JPEG images on a CD with the MP-6000?
No, it is not recommended. We have had reports of discs getting stuck in the drive when these types of discs are inserted into the machine.
Q: How can I be sure the finalization process has been completed?
The on-screen display will show a progress indicator that will get to about 98% then will disappear from the screen. We recommend that you wait approximately a minute until you see a “DVD+R” icon that will appear for a couple of seconds on your monitor. The icon is an indication that the finalization process has been completed and the disc can then be ejected.
Q: Does the MP-6000 accept HD signal?
No, it only records standard definition signal.
Q: Is there a way to turn off the record logo on the video output?
You cannot turn off the record logo on the video output if it is Analog; however, the record logo does not appear on the video output if it is DV.
Q: Does the MP-6000 support 16:9 recording/playback?
The MP-6000 will accept 16:9 signals, but it will constrain the recording/playback to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Q: Does the MP-6000 menu support languages other than English?
No, English is the only language that is supported by the MP-6000 menu.
We have an MP-600 and none of the buttons are responding, both playback and eject buttons as well as the menu “soft” buttons…any ideas about this? do you even support this unit at all
