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.

• 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, “F--ERROR”

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

press the ENTER button.
Initialization starts.

When initialization is completed, the setup window
disappears.

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” rewites 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 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.
