Initializing a recordable DVD disc
When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will
initialize it automatically for recording. You can also
manually initialize discs for either Video mode recording
or VR mode recording.
1
By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW discs
for VR mode recording. See
DVD-RW Auto Init. on page 95
if you want to change the default to Video mode.
DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recordings out of
the box; if you want to use a DVD-R for VR mode
recording, you must do it before recording anything else
on the disc.
Important
• Initializing a DVD-RW disc will erase everything
recorded on it. Make sure there is nothing on the disc
that you want to keep!
• You may not be able to re-initialize a DVD-RW disc in
a different format if it was originally initialized on an
older DVD recorder.
• Once initialized for VR mode recording, you can’t re-
initialize a DVD-R back to Video mode.
1 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.
2 Select ‘Initialize’
3 Select ‘Video Mode’ or ‘VR Mode’ from the
initialize options.
4 Select ‘Start’.
It takes about 30 seconds to initialize the disc.
Note
1.If a disc was previously finalized on an older DVD recorder, you may not be able to re-initialize and/or initialize it for Video mode recording.
