Initializing the Disc

You need to initialize a DVD-RW disc when first inserting it into the camcorder and you may have to initialize a disc if you get the “DISC ERROR” message. 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.

Avoid moving the camcorder while the operation is in progress.

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

The disc initialization will take approximately one minute.

Disc type: DVD-RW discs (VIDEO or VR mode).
