Re MiniVas beeping.

It seems to be a built-in function.  Our latest Minivas manual
does not say how to turn it off.  We solved the problem by
adding an Abekas A60 disk - then it only beeps every 750 frames!
Also the disk is so noisy you cannot hear the beep.  In addition,
you can record about 3 frames a second instead of one every 40
seconds (PAL requires longer preroll than NTSC).

Happy Christmas everyone.
