Formatting the disc (Format) When using a disc in Hi-MD mode, you can use the Format function to restore a disc to the condition it was in at the time of purchase. You can use this function only when using a disc in Hi-MD mode. Disc type After disc formatting 1GB Hi-MD disc "NO TRACK" appears. All data including non-audio data will be erased. NOTE: Transfer authorization of the transferred tracks can be restored by inserting the disc into the recorder and connecting the recorder to the computer. 60/74/80minute standard disc "BLANKDISC" appears. All data including non-audio data will be erased. You can then use the disc again in either MD mode or Hi-MD mode. NOTE: Transfer authorization of the transferred tracks will decrease by one. Notes • By formatting a disc, all data (including nonaudio data) will be erased. If you think a disc contains such data, insert the disc into the recorder and connect the recorder to the computer to check the contents of the disc. • If you format a disc, the transferred tracks on the disc will also be erased and the number of transfer authorizations for those tracks will be decreased by one. To prevent the reduction in transfer authorizations, restore the transfer authorization by transferring the tracks to the computer again before formatting the disc. • The operation mode set in the "Disc Mode" menu is applied to a blank 60/74/80-minute standard disc used on the recorder even if a different operation mode was selected in the SonicStage software or a different operation mode appeared on the display after the disc was formatted by the SonicStage software.
