<Note>
Actual available recording time obtained by disk formatting may vary depending on the
disk type.
Press and hold down the [RECORD] button and press the EXECUTE/YES key.
When the D-108 starts formatting, it displays the size of the unformatted area on the disk, and counts down
as formatting proceeds. Also, the segments in the "∞" column of the level meters light up, and turn off one
by one starting at right, indicating the status of the format operation. It will take a while to complete
formatting, especially if you are formatting a large-capacity disk.
