Deleting all scenes on the disc (Formatting)
Formatting makes the recorded disc new
and reusable by deleting all the data
recorded on the disc. The recording
capacity of the disc is recovered by
formatting it.
A DVD-R/DVD+R DL cannot be
formatted. Replace it with a new
disc.
If you format a finalized disc
• A DVD-RW (in VIDEO mode) returns to
the unfinalized state. The disc must be
finalized again to view its contents on
other devices.
• In the case of a DVD-RW (VR mode)/
DVD+RW, formatting deletes all images
on a finalized disc. One of the following
icons,
or
, appears on the
screen, but there is no need to finalize the
disc again before playing the disc on other
devices.

Adaptor during formatting.

required on each side. You can format each side
in the different recording format.

the movie aspect ratio midway. Format the disc
