If you use a disc formatted under a different standard version, format it on this unit before use.

It may not be possible to record, play back, edit or dub a DVD-RAM disc even if it conforms to the standard if it was recorded or edited on the devices from other manufacturers or on a PC, or if it has far too many titles, or if there is very little available capacity remaining on the disc.
