This command is valid for CD-R/-RW media, Formatted CD-RW media, DVD-R/-RW/-R DL media,
Formatted DVD-RW media and +R/+RW/+R DL media.
The Immed bit is supported.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command or READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command is used to
detect completion of the close operation. While close operation is performed by the CLOSE
TRACK/RZONE/SESSION BORDER Command that the Immed bit is set to one, the drive terminates these
commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, OPERATION IN PROGRESS
(2/04/07).
Note: The TEST UNIT READY Command can not use to identify the completion of close operation because
the this command returns Good status while close operation is performed.
The Session/Border bit and the Track/RZone bit specified in SFFC INF-8090i are extended to the Close

The drive closes the track associated with the track number in the CDB.
If the track is an invisible track, no close operation is to be done.
If the track is an incomplete track, the drive will write the PMA for the track. If
the incomplete track has the length of less than 4 seconds, it will pad with all
zero main data to the minimum length of 4 seconds prior to write the PMA. No
other padding shall be done.
If the track is a partially recorded or empty reserved track, the drive will pad until
the end of the track. In the case of an empty track, the drive will write the track
according to the Write Parameters Page. If the Write Parameters Page is
inconsistent with the PMA, CHECK CONDITION status will be returned and
SK/ASC/ASCQ will be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK.
For a partially recorded reserved track, the drive will continue writing in the same
mode as the data already recorded.

The Format Unit parameter list shall be transferred from the Host to the drive. The data sent to the drive
consists of a Format List Header, followed by one Format descriptor, so the parameter list length is
always 12 bytes. When the Format Options Valid (FOV) bit in the Format List Header is set to one, the
DPRY, DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case, the format operation is
performed with an Immed function specified by the Immed bit. When the FOV bit is set to zero, the DPRY,
DCRT, STPF, IP, Try-out, Immed, and VS shall be set to zero. In this case, the format operation is
performed with the drive’s internal default setting. The default setting of Immed function is one. Even if
the format operation is requested with the FOV bit set to one, the drive’s default setting itself will not be
changed.
4.3.1 Format Code = 001b
4.3.1.1 Format Type = 00h (Full Format)
Formatting for the entire media is specified. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of
addressable blocks for the entire disc and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command
descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the
TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation
is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates
these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.
Page 15
R11 Series Drive Command Reference Manual Version 1.00
In response to the REQUEST SENSE command, including after the Check Condition status described above,
the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN
PROGRESS, with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. The SKSV will be set to one and
the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that (Progress Indication)/65 536 X
100% approximates the percentage of completion of the operation. Once the operation is completed, the
SKSV will be cleared to zero.

4.3.1.1.1 On CD-RW media
The media is formatted using Write Parameter Mode Page information. Some parameters in the Write
Parameter Mode Page shall be set as follows;
Test Write = 0, Write Type = 0h, FP = 1, Track Mode = 01x1b, Data Block Type = 8h or Ah,
Session Format = 00h or 20h, Packet Size = 20h
This format operation is always available regardless of the media condition.
4.3.1.1.2 On DVD-RW media
The media is inserted in the drive, the area from the beginning of the RMA to the end of the Lead-out will
be recorded. There is only one bordered area on the medium and the number of RZone is one after this
operation.
The Test Write bit in the Write Parameters Mode Page shall be set to zero.
This format operation is available on any recording mode and any state of a bordered area.
4.3.1.1.3 On DVD-RAM media
The defect list handling is specified by the combination of the CmpLst bit and the DCRT bit. In the case
that the CmpLst bit is set to zero and the DCRT bit is set to one, the Number of Blocks field shall be
ignored and the number of addressable blocks shall be retained. In other cases, the Number of Blocks
field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the whole disc and the Type Dependent Parameter
field specifies the Block Length. Neither field is changeable from the values reported by READ FORMAT
CAPACITIES command.
The defect list handling is decided by the following combinations.

4.3.1.2 Format Type = 01h (Spare Area Expansion)
In order to keep more space as Spare area, this formatting is used. Eventually the capacity of the
formatted area is reduced. Therefore, this formatting type is just available with the case of reduction of
formatted capacity. The logical unit shall ignore the defect list handling specified by the combination of
the CmpLst bit and the DCRT bit. The defect list entries and the written user data within the range of the
area that is specified by this command shall be preserved through the execution of this command. The
Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks for the whole disc and the Type
Dependent Parameter field specifies the Block Length. Neither field is changeable from the values
reported by READ FORMAT CAPACITIES command.
4.3.1.3 Format Type = 10h (C/DVD-RW Full Format)
Formatting to create a Session/Border on C/DVD-RW media is specified.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command
descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
Page 17

The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the
TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation
is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates
these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.
In response to the REQUEST SENSE command, including after the Check Condition status described above,
the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN
PROGRESS, with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. The SKSV will be set to one and
the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that (Progress Indication)/65 536 X
100% approximates the percentage of completion of the operation. Once the operation is completed, the
SKSV will be cleared to zero.
4.3.1.3.1 On CD-RW media
The created Session will become the only Session on the medium. The Number of Blocks field specifies
the number of addressable blocks for the new Session and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies
the Fixed Packet Size (32). The Number of Blocks field may be adjusted to a value less than or equal to
the values reported by the READ FORMAT CAPACITIES Command. The drive will round the Number of
Blocks up to be an integral multiple of the packet size.
Some parameters in the Write Parameter Mode Page shall be set as follows;
Test Write = 0, Data Block Type = 8h or Ah, Session Format = 00h or 20h
After the FORMAT UNIT command is received by the drive, some parameters in the Write Parameter Mode
Page will be modified as follows;
Write Type = 0h, FP = 1, Track Mode = 01x1b, Packet Size = 20h
This format operation is always available regardless of the media condition.
4.3.1.3.2 On DVD-RW media
The created Border will become the only Border on the medium. The Number of Blocks field specifies the
number of addressable blocks for the new Border and the Type Dependent Parameter field specifies the
ECC block size (16). The Number of Blocks field may be adjusted to a value less than or equal to the
values reported by the READ FORMAT CAPACITIES Command. The drive will round the Number of Blocks
up to be an integral multiple of the ECC block size.
The Test Write bit in the Write Parameters Mode Page shall be set to zero.
This format operation is available on any recording mode and any state of a bordered area. The number
of RZone in the created Border is one after this operation.
Page 18
R11 Series Drive Command Reference Manual Version 1.00
4.3.1.4 Format Type = 13h (DVD-RW Quick Grow the last Border)
Formatting to expand the last Border and enter the last bordered area into intermediate state of a DVD-
RW medium is specified. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable blocks to be
added to current Border capacity and the Type Dependent Parameter field is set to ECC block size (16).
The drive will round the Number of Blocks up to be an integral multiple of the ECC block size.
This format operation is available only when the disc is in Restricted overwrite mode and the last
bordered area is complete state.
The number of bordered areas and RZones does not change after this operation.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command
descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the
TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation
is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates
these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.
In response to the REQUEST SENSE command, including after the Check Condition status described above,
the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN
PROGRESS, with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. The SKSV will be set to one and
the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that (Progress Indication)/65 536 X
100% approximates the percentage of completion of the operation. Once the operation is completed, the
SKSV will be cleared to zero.
4.3.1.5 Format Type = 15h (DVD-RW Quick)
Formatting to create a Intermediate state Border on DVD-RW media is specified. The created Border will
become the only Border on the medium. The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of addressable
blocks for the new Border and the Type Dependent Parameter field is set to ECC block size (16). The
Number of Blocks field may be adjusted to a value less than or equal to the values reported by the READ
FORMAT CAPACITIES Command. The drive will round the Number of Blocks up to be an integral multiple
of the ECC block size.
This format operation is available on any recording mode and any state of a bordered area. If a disc is to
be formatted that is in Sequential recording mode, new intermediate state bordered area is created at the
beginning of the disc and the recording mode is changed to Restricted overwrite mode. The number of
RZone in the created Border is one after this operation.
If the Immed function is set to zero, the drive will return the status after the format operation has
completed. If the Immed bit is set to one, the drive will return the status as soon as the command
descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor has been transferred.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE INFORMATION Command and the
TEST UNIT READY Command is used to detect completion of the format operation. While format operation
is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is set to one, the drive terminates
these commands with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04). If the drive returns Good status for these command, format operation has completed.
In response to the REQUEST SENSE command, including after the Check Condition status described above,
the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN
PROGRESS, with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. The SKSV will be set to one and

4.3.1.6 Format Type = 26h (+RW Basic Format)
The Number of Blocks field shall be set to either the value returned by the READ FORMAT CAPACITIES
command or 0xFFFFFFFF. In this drive, any other value will be accepted, but it is no effect on the format
operation.
The Type Dependent Parameter has the meaning of “New format” when it has the value 000000h.
The Type Dependent Parameter has the meaning of “Restart format” when it has the value 000001h.
If the field contains any other value, the drive will terminate the command with CHECK CONDITION
status and set SK/ASC/ASCQ values to ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER BLOCK.
If the Immed function is set to zero, then once the foreground format process has completed, the
command will be terminated with GOOD status. If the Immed function is set to one, the drive will return
the status as soon as the command descriptor block has been validated, and the entire Format Descriptor
has been transferred.
While foreground format process is performed by the FORMAT UNIT Command that the Immed function is
set to one, the drive terminates the READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK/RZONE
INFORMATION Command and the TEST UNIT READY Command with the Check Condition status, LOGICAL
UNIT NOT READY, FORMAT IN PROGRESS (2/04/04). When the background format process is started,
these commands will be terminated with GOOD status.
As for the REQUEST SENSE command, while the foreground format process is performed, the drive will
return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NOT READY/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY/FORMAT IN PROGRESS
(2/04/04), without the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication. While the background format
process is performed, the drive will return a SK/ASC/ASCQ values set to NO SENSE/FORMAT IN
PROGRESS (0/04/04), with the sense key specific bytes set for progress indication.
The SKSV will be set to one and the Progress Indication field will contain 16 bit unsigned value such that
(Progress Indication)/65 536 X 100% approximates the percentage of completion of the background
format process. Once the background format process is completed, the SKSV will be cleared to zero.
4.3.2 Format Code = 111b
This Format Code has a legacy definition for CD-RW. It is described in Annex E of the MMC-5.
The SESS and Grow bits are ignored by the drive.
The drive performs as same as the operation which the Format Code is set to 001b and the Format type is
set to 00h.

The LRA_V bit is always set to one for DVD-RAM, and the value set in The Last Recorded Address fields
was decided in Format Unit Command.
The NWA_V bit is always set to zero for +RW because the Next Writable Address field is invalid for such
type of media.
The LRA_V bit is always set to zero for +R/+RW because the Last Recorded Address field is invalid for
such type of media.
For CD-R/RW media written by SAO, the Track Size is computed as follows; TrackSize = PMAStopTime –
PMAStartTime – 2. This means the last 2 blocks are not encountered as same as the track written by TAO.
If the track is the incomplete track (i.e. RT=0), the Read Compatibility LBA is present. Read Compatibility
LBA is an approximation of a logical block address at or beyond a 30mm disc radius on L0. The host can
use this address as a minimal pad limit prior to closing the current session in order to maximize
compatibility with read-only devices. If the L0 The host can also use this address as a lower limit for the

a WRITE command, up to 15 fragment can exist. When the session is opened by a RESERVE
TRACK/RZONE command, up to 16 fragment can exist. Because the last fragment in each session cannot
be reserved, the limit number of fragments which can be reserved in a session is 14 or 15. When the limit
