Formatting the current disk [Format]

Using the “Format” menu, you can format the current disk

In the following description, we assume to reformat a used DVD-RAM disk in the “Normal” or “Tape” mode.

See “Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6” on page 24 for details about initially formatting an unused disk.

<Notes>

On a disk formatted in the “Tape” mode, an audio file whose record track mode and Fs match the [REC TR] and [FS/24] select switch settings when formatting is taken place, is created. Therefore, before formatting a disk in the “Tape” mode, make sure to set the [REC TR] and [FS/24] select switches on the top panel appropriately. Also note that you cannot carry out “Tape” mode formatting in the following [FS/24] and [REC TR] switch conditions.

•When the [REC TR] switch is set to “2+4” or “1+5” file mode, regardless of the [FS/24] switch setting.

•When the [REC TR] switch is set to “4”, “5” or “6”, while the [FS/24] switch is set to “88.2” or “96”.

If you are going to carry out “Tape” mode formatting in any condition above, “Illegal FS!”, “Illegal FS or TR!”, or “Illegal REC TR!” is shown and the operation is ignored.

1.Select the “Format ” menu and press the “ENTER” key.

The “Format” screen is shown.

In this screen, you can make setting for items regarding formatting. (By default, “Drive: INT DVD-RAM” is highlighted.)

2.Use the [SEL] dial to select “Reel No: ****”, and press the [ENTER] key.

Now you can edit the reel number (by default, “S” of “S001” flashes). You do not have to change the reel number.

The reel number also can be edited using the “Reel No.” menu in the Utility mode. The box below explains how to enter the desired reel number during format operation.
