DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

Volume label setting:

While "Reel No" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The first character of the current volume label (by default, "S") flashes and you can now enter the desired label using the [MENU] dial and alphanumeric keys. You can move the cursor position using the [SKIP/CURSOR] keys. Up to eight characters can be entered. After entering the desired label, press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your setting. "Format Mode", the next item, is automatically high- lighted.

You can also edit the volume label after formatting, using the "Reel No" menu item on the "DISK UTILITY" menu (see page 148).

<Note>: If you enter an illegal volume label and press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm, the display pops up "Illegal Name!" and the entered volume label is not accepted.

Format mode selection:

While "Format Mode" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The current setting (by default, "Normal") flashes and you can now select the format mode between "Normal" and "DDR" using the [MENU] dial. After selecting the desired mode, press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your setting.

<Note>: You cannot select "DDR", when the "Drive" item is set to "DVD-RAM".

Normal	The medium selected by the "Drive" item (a DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition)
	is formatted in the "Normal" mode. When setting the Format mode to "Normal",
	you can select On/Off of "Physical Format", the next item on the screen.
	A hard disk partition selected by the "Drive" item, as well as a DVD-RAM disk set
	to the DVD-RAM drive, is formatted in the "DDR" mode.
	After executing formatting in this mode, the DVD-RAM disk is designated as a
	"mirror" disk for Dual Drive Recording.
DDR	Dual Drive Recording records the same audio data to both the partition and DVD-
	RAM disk simultaneously.
	When formatting a partition in the "DDR" mode, you must set a DVD-RAM disk to
	the DVD-RAM drive.
	See "Dual Drive Recording" on page 86 in "Advanced operation" for details about
	"DDR" mode formatting.

<Note>: When formatting a DVD-RAM disk in the "Normal" mode, the DV824 performs brief inspection of dirt, dust and defect on the medium even if "Physi- cal Format" is set to "Off".

However, note that the inspection cannot perfectly detect any dirt, dust and defects.

<Note>: It is recommended that you should format a partition and a DVD-RAM disk used for Dual Drive Recording in the "Normal" mode first, and then refor- matting in the "DDR" mode.

<Note>: You cannot directly record only to a DVD-RAM disk which is set to the DVD-RAM drive when formatting a partition in the "DDR" mode, designated to the mirror disk of Dual Drive Recording. To make recording possible, reformat the disk in "Normal" mode.
