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.
