Introduction

Before operating this recorder (Continued)

Initializing a DVD-RAM disc (Logical Format)

Be sure to read this section prior to using a DVD-RAM disc on this recorder for the first time. For DVD-R, initializing is not necessary.

A disc should be initialized in the following cases: (The recorder may display a message to request you to do so.)

e.g.

When you use a new DVD-RAM disc on this recorder for the first time.

If data fragments produced by repeated recording or erasing have accumulated.

If a disc error has occurred.

When you want to record on a DVD-RAM disc for PC. ( page 7)

Initializing formats a disc logically and insures that it will perform to its full capability. However, this erases all data on the disc, so make sure that it does not matter if data on the disc is erased whenever you initialize a disc.
