Abstract
A device for recording information on a record carrier () is arranged for formatting a multilayer record carrier. The device has formatting means () for formatting the record carrier according which formatting includes de-icing by, in the event that locations in the user data area have not yet been recorded, writing dummy data () on the locations. The formatting means () determine a first radial position () and a first layer (), which first radial position is indicative of a location on the first layer on which user data will be recorded first according to a predefined recording format. Subsequently said de-icing is started by writing of dummy data on a second layer () of the record carrier at the first radial position, opposite the location of the first user data (). Hence a de-iced area () is created opposite the user data ().
