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.
