If using an unformatted disc, you must format it before the
first recording. After inserting the disc, the formatting
message appears automatically. Formatting prepares the
media, such as a recordable DVD-RAM, for recording. All
data is irreversibly erased.
We recommend using a DVD RAM to utilise the greatest possible
functional scope of this unit.
