4.9.1. Forced formatting of DVD-RAM disc
(1) Application/Symptom
Perform this procedure when the Disc Navigation screen does not start normally due to a defect in
data on disc and formatting is not possible by the procedure explained in instruction manual.
(2) Operational procedure
Caution:
1) Initialization will delete all data on disc: Copy the necessary files to PC, etc.
2) Do not turn power off or remove the disc during initialization: Such an interruption will make the
disc unusable.
1) Use the AC adapter/charger to power VDR-M70/
M50, and set the power switch to “VIDEO” or
“PHOTO”.
Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger for formatting
disc: If power is interrupted during work, the disc could
become unusable.
2) Make sure that the DVD-RAM disc to be formatted is
free from dirt or scratch. If the disc is dirty, clean it; if
the disc is scratched, replace it. Any dirt or scratch on
disc could disable normal formatting. (Fig. 4-9-1)
3) Insert the DVD-RAM disc to be formatted.
4) After the disc is recognized, operate the following buttons
to display the disc formatting screen (Fig. 4-9-2):
Hold down the SELECT, REC and + (plus) buttons
simultaneously for at least 3 seconds
5) Use the joystick to choose “YES” and press the center of
joystick:
The initialization will start and message “Formatting ...”
will appear.

appear for several seconds, and then the normal screen
will automatically be restored.
