Formatting a disc
When a disc that has already been used is formatted,
a new project is automatically added to the disc.
Reformatting a DVD+RW disc on the DV-RA1000
will never result in an entirely blank disc (but of
course, all previous data is removed during a format
process).
CAUTION
If you attempt recording many times to the same
DVD+RW disc and erasing or formatting it often, you
may find that it does not record properly. You should
use a new disc for any really important recordings.
1 Press MENU and use the wheel and ENTER to
select the DVD menu. From there, select the
DISC sub-menu.
2 From this sub-menu, select FORMAT .

first project to be created on the newly-for-
matted disc (see “Adding a new project” on
page 33).
4 Press ENTER to start the formatting process.
This will take a few minutes, and the unit is
not usable while the format takes place.
NOTE
You cannot use DVD+RW discs which have been format-
ted on a computer for recording with the DV-RA1000.

to start recording.

taking place.
While recording, the display shows either the
