already recorded areas by formatting a disc in the

3-3. How to set recording inhibit
The disc cartridge comes with a write protect switch to
prevent any new data from being recorded on the disc
in error.
Cautions:
1. The pseudo write-once function works only when it is used with this unit.
It will not work with a computer or other such device: this means that if the disc is used with a computer, the
destruction of possibly valuable data may resuit. This is why discs on which recordings were made using
this unit should not be used with any other device.
2. To protect a disc — even a pseudo write-once disc -- whose data recording has been finished or which
contains valuable data, the write protect switch of its disc cartridge must be set to the write-protect position.
