How to select VR format with Panasonic vdr-d50p?

Question

we just bought the panasonic vdr-d50 and bought dvd rw discs to use in it. according to the manual, when we put a new disc in it comes up and says disc is not properly formatted would you like to format, which it does. the next step according to the manual is to select whether or not you want VR format or Video format. WELL THIS OPTION DOES NOT APPEAR ON SCREEN IS GOES RIGHT INTO FORMATTING THE DISC. once i record things it will not let me delete any scenes which happens when you are in Video format. I need to know how to select VR format. any help would be appreciated

I just bought the same camera and have the same problem.  I'm quite tech savvy and still haven't found a solution on my own.  I'm going to get in touch with Panasonic and ask them about it.  If it's faulty advertising then that's a real shame!  Keep me posted, I'll do the same.
