6 Hold RECORD and press PLAY to start formatting.
When the tape reaches the end and formatting is complete, it will be
automatically rewound and stop at the beginning.
Pressing any REC FUNCTION key after formatting starts records
audio signals on the corresponding track. However, to insure against
noise and discontinuities of absolute time data, we recommend that
you format all tapes all the way to the end before using them for audio
recording.
