Notes

•The physical format process may fail if executed to a dirty

DVD-RAM disc. Also, the disc may be difficult to record,

even if it finished. Before executing DVD-RAM physical

format process, be sure to confirm the disc is not dirty.

Clean it if necessary. If scars or dirt remains even after

cleaning of the disc, do not execute the physical format.

•The following DVD-RAM discs require physical formatting:

–A disc which is not formatted correctly.

–The disc which has errors during writing because of dirt

on the disc, and cannot be further recorded, or cannot

initialize normally.

•You need to start physical formatting from the first step

again when you use a failed disc.

•Physical formatting does not work if the disc contains a lot

of void beyond limitation of this recorder.

•If an error occurs in physical formatting, “ERR-01” appears

in the front panel display. To turn off the message, press

the DISPLAY button on the remote control.

4) Press the / buttons to select “Start”, then

press the ENTER button.

5) Press the / buttons to select “Start”, then

press the ENTER button.

Initialization starts.

When initialization is completed, the setup window

disappears.

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.
