4.1 BLANK Command
This command is valid for CD-RW and DVD-RW media.
The Immed bit is supported.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command, the READ TRACK INFORMATION Command and the TEST UNIT READY
Command are used to detect completion of the blank operation. While blank operation is performed by the BLANK 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).
The drive supports following Blanking Type for CD-RW and DVD-RW media.
Table 2 - Blank Type
Code Name CD-RW media DVD-RW media
000b Blank the disc Yes Yes
001b Minimally blank the disc Yes Yes
010b Blank a Track No 011b Unreserved a Track/RZone No No
100b Blank a Track/RZone Tail Yes No
101b Unclose the last Session/Border No No
110b Erase Session/Border No No
4.2 CLOSE TRACK/SESSION Command
The Immed bit is supported.
The READ DISC INFORMATION Command or READ TRACK INFORMATION Command is used to detect completion of
the close operation. During a close operation performed by the CLOSE TRACK/SESSION Command whose 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 may be used to identify the completion of close operation.
The valid Close Function field values are extended for handling the +R/+RW media in the MMC-5 rather than the SFFC
INF-8090i.
This command is not valid for BD-RE.

4.3 FORMAT UNIT Command
The CmpLst bit is supported only in DVD-RAM media, must be set to zero with other medias.
The Interleave Value field is not supported and must be set to zero.
The Format Code field allows the value of 001b and 111b. If Format Code field is set to 001b and a BD-RE/R media is mounted,
the drive confirms for the definition of Blu-ray Disc(BD) Multi-Media Command Set Description. If Format Code field is set to
001b and a CD-RW/DVD-RW/DVD-RAM media is mounted, the drive conforms for the definition of SFFC INF-8090i. If
Format Code is set to 001b and a +RW media is mounted, the drive conform for the definition of MMC-5. If Format Code is set
to 111b and CD-RW media is mounted, the drive conforms for legacy specifications which are described in the definition of
MMC-5.
The drive supports following Format Type for each media.

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 Forma for C/DVD-RW / Default Format for BD-RE/R)
4.3.1.1.1 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.

4.3.1.1.2 On BD-R media
For BD-R, 4096 spare Clusters are allocated in ISA0 and 8192 Clusters in OSA. In addition, for BD-R Dual, 4096 spare Clusters
are allocated in ISA1. TDMA1 size is 2048 Clusters and TDMA2 is 4096 Clusters. For BD-R Dual, TDMA2 is 2048 Clusters,
TDMA3 is 4096 Clusters, TDMA4 is 4096 Clusters and TDMA5 is 2048 Clusters.
The drive supports the following Format Sub-type:

The drive formats the disc in order that the User Data Area contains at least Number of Blocks. If the number of spare Clusters to
be allocated depend on Number of Blocks is less than 4096, the command will be terminated with CHECK CONDITION status
and a SK/ASC/ASCQ values are set to ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST(05/26/00).
The Spare Area size in Clusters field is ignored by the drive.
