Setting the Video Standard (PAL/NTSC)
The MP 6000 can be set to PAL or NTSC. Generally if the unit is bought it Europe it will be set to PAL as a 
default, whereas if it is bought in the U.S. or ASIA it will be set to NTSC as a default. 
If you want to switch from one standard to another here’s what to do. 
Start with the MP 6000 LCD display showing the General Display. 
Press the Menu button to call up the Menu options 
Press the Down Arrow button twice to call up 3.Video 
Standard 
Press the Enter button to call up the Video Standard 
options 
Use the Up or Down Arrow buttons to select the video 
standard you want to use. 
Once your chosen video standard is displayed, press 
the Menu button to save and exit. 
Note: NTSC “0 IRE” is used in Japan, NTSC “7.5 IRE” is used in other NTSC countries such as the U.S., 
Canada etc. 
GPI Function
The MP 6000 has a simple GPI (General Purpose Interface) function that allows hard wired control of 
either Record & Pause or Play & Pause. GPI works on either momentary contact closure, or maintained 
closure, so it is very easy to make a simple control cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug at one end and a 
switch or button of your choice at the other.    The Dip Switches on the rear panel of the MP 6000 
determine the type of GPI remote control. If Dip Switch 2 is Off (up) the GPI is momentary closure (also 
known as pulse), this means that one press of the button will start the recording, and the next press will 
pause the recording. If Dip Switch 2 is On (down) the GPI becomes maintained closure (also known as 
level), this means the MP 6000 will record while the button is held down, and will pause as soon as the 
button is released.
