Modifying data in a disc
Writing more data to 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:
Insert the disc into the MVC-CD1000 and connect the MVC-CD1000
1
to your personal computer with the USB cable.
After the “DirectCD Disc Ready” window appears, click [OK], then
2
write data to the disc.
Deleting a file from a disc
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 av a ila b le
for other files.
Thus, “deletin g” files from a disc does not inc r ease the available free space on the
disc. To delete the contents on a disc , follow these steps:
While in Windows Explorer, select the file(s) you want to delete.
1
Select [Delete] from the File menu, or press t he Del ete key.
2
Click [Yes] to confirm that you want to delete the files from the

disc.
The selected files will be deleted.
