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 program recording will not work until the process is finished. Also this process erases all data stored on the DVD-RAM disc.

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 the disc has scratches or dust beyond cleaner’s efficacy, do not execute DVD-RAM physical format process on the disc.

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 voids beyond the 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.
