Why is my dmr-ez45v not formatting?

I have the DMR-EZ45V which looks much the same machine. It’s stuck in a corner and hasn’t been used for years. I do remember that when you insert a blank RW disc it shows a message on the screen about it not being properly formatted and asks if you want DVD management to do it. That worked OK. Maybe you could try a different make of disc?
