Initializing DVD-RAM Disc

When using DVD-RAM disc for AV applications, it must be initialized: If you want to
erase all data of recorded disc and reuse it, you can initialize it rather than delete the
data.

Cautions:

• If a DVD-RAM disc is initialized, all the recorded movies and stills will be erased: Be careful not to

initialize the disc by mistake.

• Use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD camcorder when initializing disc. Initialization will not

be possible when the battery used to power the DVD camcorder is discharged.

• Initialization with verification may not be possible for discs with severe scratches or dirt: Such discs

cannot be used.

1. Insert the DVD-RAM disc with the side you want to initialize facing

the outside (facing the hand strap), and then turn the DVD
camcorder on.

2. After recognition of the disc is complete, press the DISC NAVIGA-

TION button.

3. Press the MENU button.

The Disc Navigation menu screen will appear.
