This takes approximately 25 seconds with DVD-RAM.

If you want to start using the unit as soon as you turn on the power, do the following.

1)Turn on the power.

2)After “READING DISC...” disappears from the screen, turn off the power.

You can start recording approximately 8 seconds after you turn on the power again.

≥Depending on the condition of the disc, it may take longer than this.
