Formatting A Disc; Dvd-Rw - Toshiba DVR620KU Owner's Manual

Choosing the Recording Format of a Brand-New DVD-RW

always be formatted in +VR mode, and DVD-RW will be formatted either video or VR mode according to the recording
format mode setting of the unit. Before insert a brand-new DVD-RW, you need to set the recording format to the
desired mode. You can also manually format a DVD-RW once it has been used.
