Formatting

Unused discs or SD cards may require formatting in some cases.

When the need arises, format the disc or SD card accordingly.

Memo:

•Formatting a disc or SD card erases all existing data from the media.

Double-check carefully before formatting so as not to erase important titles.

•When using a DVD-R disc in the Video mode, formatting is not required.

Format chart

Refer to the following chart for the disc types and format when formatting a disc.

Note:

•Using a disc formated on another device could cause read errors even though it corresponds to the chart below.

In this case, we recommend that you format the disc with this unit or use another blank disc.

Memo:

•BD-R and DVD-R discs can only be formatted once.

•When a disc is re-formatted into another format, remove the disc and load it again.
