DVD-RAM physical format

Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will be recovered.)

“DVD-RAM logical format” process only rewrites certain data on file system and management information, however, “DVD-RAM physical format” rewrites all data on a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete. For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes will be necessary. While processing, all recorder operations and functions including program recording will not work until the process is finished. Also this process erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.

1)	Press SETUP.
2)	Press	/	to select “Management settings”
	then press ENTER.
	e.g.
			Management settings
	Network Setting
	Genre setting			Off
	Front Display
	HDD auto stop			Off
	All HDD titles delete
	HDD format
	DVD-RAM physical format
	DVD Drive speed setting			High speed
	Version (Main/DVD drive)			xxxx/xxxx
3)	Press	/	to select “DVD-RAM Physical
	Format,” then press ENTER.
4)	Press	/	to select “Yes,” then press ENTER to
	execute.

Warning: It will take approximately 70 minutes to format a 4.7GB DVD-RAM and all data will be erased. Confirm that timer programing is not scheduled. Proceed?
