Use the AC Adaptor as the power source to
prevent your camcorder from running out
of
power during formatting.
Do not apply shock or vibration to your
camcorder, and do not disconnect the AC
Adaptor during formatting.
When you use a double-sided disc, formatting is
required on each side. You can format each side
in
the different recording format.
In the case
of
DVD+RW , you cannot change
the movie aspect ratio midway. Format the disc
again to change the aspect ratio.
You cannot format a disc that has been
protected on other devices. Cancel the
protection with the original device, and then
format
it.
