Tips: How to edit a label name
While the leftmost character of the tentative name is flashing, press the [MARGIN RESET/CLR] key
repeatedly to delete the name. Then, enter the desired alphanumeric characters using the nu-
meric keys or the jog dial.
When using the numeric keys, the editing point (flashing point) moves by pressing any of the
numeric keys after entering a character. When using the jog dial, you can move the editing point
by using the [SKIP/CURSOR] ([|<<] and [>>|]) keys.
5. Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.
The display changes to show "Format Md?" with flashing "Norm". You can select the format mode
between "Norm" (Normal) and "Tape" using the jog dial.
See "Formatting a DVD-RAM disk" in "Chapter 1 Before using the DV40" for details about the format mode.
6. Select the format mode and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Depending on the format mode selected, the display shows as follows.
• When selecting "Norm":
The display scrolls "If enter key is pushed, will
start formatting and delete DVD area data. Are
you sure?".

If you select "Normal", go to the next step after the message above is shown.
When selecting "Tape", select "New" or "Used" using the jog dial, and then press the [ENTER/YES] key.
Go to the next step after the same message as above (shown when selecting "Norm") is shown.
<Note>
When a used disk previously formatted in the Tape mode is reformatted in the Tape mode by
selecting "New" for the disk type, the "Tape mode" file data is not erased (while "Normal mode" files
are erased).
Therefore, if you record a new material to the old "Tape mode" file, new and old materials may
exist together.
To erase all sound data when reformatting a disk in the Tape mode, make sure to select "Used" for
the disk type.
Tips: Special usage of "New"
In general, "New" for the disk type is selected when formatting a new DVD-RAM disk.
However, there is a special case. If you cannot playback a recorded "Tape mode" file for any
reason, reformat the disk in the Tape mode by selecting "New" for the disk type.
Audio data on the "Tape mode" file still remains after reformatting and can be played back cor-
rectly.
<Note>
All the "Normal mode" files on the disk are erased.
