When formatting a DVD-RAM disk in the "Normal" mode, the DV824
<Note>:
performs brief inspection of dirt, dust and defect on the medium even if "Physi-
cal Format" is set to "Off".
However, note that the inspection cannot perfectly detect any dirt, dust and
defects.
<Note>: It is recommended that you should format a partition and a DVD-RAM
disk used for Dual Drive Recording in the "Normal" mode first, and then refor-
matting in the "DDR" mode.
<Note>: You cannot directly record only to a DVD-RAM disk which is set to the
DVD-RAM drive when formatting a partition in the "DDR" mode, designated to
the mirror disk of Dual Drive Recording. To make recording possible, reformat
the disk in "Normal" mode.
The medium selected by the "Drive" item (a DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition)
is formatted in the "Normal" mode. When setting the Format mode to "Normal",
you can select On/Off of "Physical Format", the next item on the screen.
A hard disk partition selected by the "Drive" item, as well as a DVD-RAM disk set
to the DVD-RAM drive, is formatted in the "DDR" mode.
After executing formatting in this mode, the DVD-RAM disk is designated as a
"mirror" disk for Dual Drive Recording.
Dual Drive Recording records the same audio data to both the partition and DVD-
RAM disk simultaneously.
When formatting a partition in the "DDR" mode, you must set a DVD-RAM disk to
the DVD-RAM drive.
See "Dual Drive Recording" on page 86 in "Advanced operation" for details about
"DDR" mode formatting.
