• During a background format operation, the
indicator (for DVD+RW) or

corner of the home screen. When the format op-
eration is complete, the flashing

during a background format operation, the

• Do not insert a partially formatted disc into a
computer's disc drive. Otherwise, the back-
ground format operation may resume incorrectly
on a different drive.
• Do not insert a disc formatted with a computer
into the DV-RA1000HD disc tray. Format a disc

ically opens.
NOTE
Once you select a project, the project remains
selected until you eject the disc. (Even if you switch
to HDD mode, then switch back to ODD mode, the
same project will open.)
