Reformatting a DVD-RAM disk
1. While stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the indicator.
2. Press the [SETUP] key.
The unit enters the Utility mode and the display shows a setting menu.
The first time the unit enters the Utility mode after turning on the unit, the "Rec Protect?" menu is
shown. Otherwise, the previously used setting menu is shown.
The following describes how to reformat a used disk, while chapter 1 describes how to format
a new disk. We assume that a used DVD-RAM disk is inserted in the tray and stopped.

4. Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.
The display shows the following and now you can edit the label name of the disk (which is tentatively
named "DV40-DVD").
See the next "Tips" about how to edit a label name, although you may go to the next step without
editing the label name.

<Note for reformatting a disk in the Tape mode>
Before reformatting a used disk in the Tape mode, set the
[AUDIO FILE]
,
[SAMPLING FREQ]
and
[TR
MODE]
switches on the front panel appropriately, which determine the behavior of the newly cre-
ated
"Tape mode"
file.
<Note>
Memory point data still remain after reformatting a disk.
Therefore, if you do not need the old memory point data, delete them using the delete function.
See
"Chapter 6: Editing/storing time data"
for details about how to delete memory point data.

<Note>
• Before reformatting, make sure that the DVD-RAM disk is not write-protected.
• If you use an used DVD-RAM disk, we recommended to format the disk by a computer first, then
format it by the DV40.
