Various Copy Functions

Adding data

As long as a disc has not been finalized, you can add more data to it until

the disc capacity is reached. The steps for adding data are basically the

same as when writing data for the first time (using a new disc), except for

the following points.

• When a non-finalized CD-R is inserted in the MCS1, the unit

automatically goes into video output mode for displaying images from

copy source media or devices. To copy new data, you must manually

switch to copy mode. To do this, press the MODE button repeatedly until

“COPY: MS” or other similar indications including the source media or

device appears in the display window. See “Switching the operation

mode” on page 28.

• The MCS1 creates a new folder each time it copies data. The name of the

folder is always the creation date of the newest file copied. For example,

if the newest file copied was created 2004/02/01, the folder name

becomes “01022004_001”. If you copy other data where the newest file

has the same date as above, the folder name becomes “01022004_002”,

and so on.

Notes

• If data was written to the CD-R in a computer or other device other than the MCS1, it

may no longer be possible to add more data using the MCS1.

• You cannot add data to finalized CD-R.

• When you copy data to a CD-R, the amount of space copied may be larger than the size

of the files copied.
