You can also choose to initialize the disc if you wish to erase all the recordings on the disc or in order to change the disc specification.

IMPORTANT

Initializing the disc will permanently erase all recordings, even if the disc is protected. The lost original recordings cannot be recovered.

Initialize all DVD-RW discs before using them with this camcorder.
