play them back on your personal computer. (The finalization is not required.)
•You can write images that are captured by your personal computer onto a disc and
make the picture album.
•You can directly read and write images shot with the MVC-CD1000 in the CD-R/
CD-RW drive, without executing the finalization.

Installing DirectCD
•When using a CD-ROM drive
DirectCD is not required to only view images on the finalized disc in a CD-ROM
drive. If you read or write images on the disc which is not finalized, you have to
connect the MVC-CD1000 to your personal computer with the USB cable and
install DirectCD into your personal computer. For details on USB connection, refer
to the operating instructions of the MVC-CD1000.
•When using a CD-R or CD-RW drive
Select one of the following ways according to the configuration of your personal
computer.
— When a writing software has not been installed into your personal computer, you
can install DirectCD into your personal computer.
— When DirectCD other than this version has been installed into your personal
computer, you can install DirectCD included in the supplied CD-ROM. You
cannot use any other versions of DirectCD with the MVC-CD1000. If you
install the supplied DirectCD, DirectCD that has been installed in your personal
computer will be upgraded to the new version.
— When a writing software other than DirectCD has been installed into your
personal computer, uninstall the writing software from your personal computer,
then install DirectCD. If you want to use the writing software, do not install
DirectCD. You cannot use the MVC-CD1000 with DirectCD.
Note
You may not be able to use DirectCD depending on your CD-R drive or CD-RW drive.

starting the procedure below.
Note
When you write new data onto the disc, before removing

Modifying data in a disc
After you have formatted a blank disc for DirectCD use, you can keep adding data to
the disc until it is full. To do so, follow these steps:
If you “delete” files from a disc, the files become invisible to the file system (that is,
they cannot be seen in Windows Explorer) but the space they occupy is not available
for other files.
Thus, “deleting” files from a disc does not increase the available free space on the
disc. To delete the contents on a disc, follow these steps:
Writing more data to a disc
1Insert the disc into the MVC-CD1000 and connect the MVC-CD1000
to your personal computer with the USB cable.
2After the “DirectCD Disc Ready” window appears, click [OK], then
write data to the disc.
Deleting a file from a disc
1While in Windows Explorer, select the file(s) you want to delete.
2Select [Delete] from the File menu, or press the Delete key.
3Click [Yes] to confirm that you want to delete the files from the
disc.
The selected files will be deleted.
Writing More Data to a finalized disc
1Insert the disc that was previously finalized to read on a
standard CD-ROM drive into the MVC-CD1000.
2Start DirectCD.
3Click [Next] on each window until you see the “Make Disc
Writable” window.
4Type the name you want to call your disc in the “Name Your
Disc” window, using up to 11 characters.
