DVD-RAM Physical Format

Physical formatting is a simple execution for a disc which cannot be used or read (or which is becoming hard to read). It may refresh such a disc for recording and playback. (There is no guarantee that all such discs will be recovered.)

“DVD-RAM logical format” process only rewrites certain data on file system and management information, however, “DVD-RAM physical format” rewrites all data on a disc, therefore it takes a much longer time to complete. For a 4.7GB single sided DVD-RAM, about 70 minutes will be necessary. While processing, all recorder operations and functions including programme recording or automatic recording of an external source will not work until the process is finished. Also this process erases all data stored on the disc.

1)	During stop, press the SETUP button.
2)	Press the / buttons to select “Management

Settings”, then press the ENTER button.
