FORMATTING A DISC

Choosing the Recording Format of a Brand-New DVD-RW

Introduction

When inserting a brand-new DVD-RW or DVD+RW, the unit automatically starts to initialize the disc. DVD+RW will always be formatted in +VR mode, and DVD-RW will be formatted either video or VR mode according to the recording format mode setting of the unit. Before insert a brand-new DVD-RW, you need to set the recording format to the desired mode. You can also manually format a DVD-RW once it has been used.

Note

The recording format setting is effective only for DVD-RW. You cannot change the recording format for a DVD-R and DVD+RW/+R.

You cannot mix two formats on one DVD-RW disc. If you insert a disc that has been formatted before, the recording format is not changed if you select another format in the “Setup” menu only. To reformat a disc (change disc format type), refer to “Reformatting a Disc Manually” on page 40.
