Loading a DVD-RAM disk
1. Press the [OPEN/CLOSE] key.
The display shows "Tray Open!" and the tray opens.
2. Place a DVD-RAM disk in the tray, and press the [OPEN/CLOSE] key again (or push
the front of the tray lightly).
The disk is loaded. After the unit scans the disk ("Disk Scan!" is shown as a flashing display while
scanning), it automatically recognizes that the disk is unformatted and enters the "Format" menu
("Format" with flashing "?" is shown).
You can format the disk by the following procedure in the next page.

<Note>
Use a 4.7GB/TYPE 2 DVD-RAM disk with the DV40.
The DV40 only can play back data on a 2.6GB disk recorded
by other equipment.
Please note that the DV40 does not guarantee recording and
editing operations with a 2.6GB disk.
<Note>
Do not use a DVD-RAM disk whose tab (in-
dicated by an allow in the figure on the left)
is removed in order to take out the disk from
the case. If you use such a disk, 2- or 4-track
recording with 176.4kHz/24 bit or 192kHz/
24 bit may not be properly executed. Also
note that, if you use an used DVD-RAM disk
with the DV40, we recommended to format
the disk by a computer first, then format it
by the DV40.
