Formatting - Tascam BD-R2000 Owner's Manual

Formatting

Unused discs or SD cards may require formatting in some
cases.
When the need arises, format the disc or SD card accordingly.
Memo:
• Formatting a disc or SD card erases all existing data from
the media.
Double-check carefully before formatting so as not to erase
important titles.
• When using a DVD-R disc in the Video mode, formatting is
not required.
Format chart
Refer to the following chart for the disc types and format when
formatting a disc.
Note:
• Using a disc formated on another device could cause read
errors even though it corresponds to the chart below.
In this case, we recommend that you format the disc with
this unit or use another blank disc.
Memo:
• BD-R and DVD-R discs can only be formatted once.
• When a disc is re-formatted into another format, remove the
disc and load it again.
