A whole DVD-RAM disk (or a hard disk partition) is physically formatted. It takes
long to execute physical format, however, we recommend physically formatting
a well-used DVD-RAM disk (or a hard disk partition).
A DVD-RAM disk (or a hard disk partition) is formatted in a simple manner.
We recommend selecting this option for a relatively new DVD-RAM disk (or a
hard disk partition). The DV824 also performs simple inspection of dirt, dust and
defect on a DVD-RAM disk when formatting.
1) While "[EXECUTE]" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The "CAUTION" message appears and "Are you sure?" flashes. To cancel
formatting, press the [EXIT/NO] key.
2) Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The unit starts formatting the disk.
The display shows the formatting progress. When formatting completes, the
display shows "Fmt. Completed!".
3) Press the [STOP/HOME] key to exit the MENU mode.

new if you have enough time.
