be formatted. (However, it is impossible to format a DVD-R
disc.)
z For a double sided disc, format one side first and then
format the other side.
z Format in UDF 2.0 format is not supported. If a disc is
used in an ordinary DVD recorder, it must be formatted in
UDF 2.0 format with the format tool on the DVD drive. (For
the operation method, refer to the operating instructions
for the drive.)
z Format is not possible if the discs are protected. Clear the
settings by using the device that write protected the disc or
enable the [Auto Protect] settings
( l 86) . (If a disc has the
[Auto Protect] setting enabled, format will clear the [Auto
Protect] setting.)
