DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

The following description shows how to UDF-format an unused 4.7GB/Type2 DVD- RAM disk which is supplied with the unit, leaving the four items above as their de- fault settings.

1)Use the [MENU] dial to select "[EXECUTE]" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display changes to show the warning message (i.e. all disk data are gone by formatting the disk) and flashing "Are you sure?".

2)Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.

The unit starts formatting the disk.

The display shows the formatting countdown, as well as the progress status by the bar-graph meter.

When formatting completes, the display shows "Fmt. Completed!" and the unit stops disk access.

<Note>: Note that the formatting countdown and bar-graph meter show the approximate information. Do not proceed to the next step before "Fmt. Com- pleted!" is shown.

3)Press the [EXIT/NO] key (or the [STOP/HOME] key) to exit the MENU mode.

The display now shows the Home screen on which "-Nofiles!-" is shown. Naturally, there is no files on a disk immediately after it is formatted.

Now UDF-formatting of the supplied DVD-RAM disk completed and you can make recording and playback of the disk.

You can format a DVD-RAM disk you purchase in the same manner as above.

<Note>: To reformat a formatted DVD-RAM disk or to physically format a well- used disk, see "Formatting a disk" on page 149.
