INITIALIZING HDD/DVD/CARD

Initializing the HDD, a DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/+RW or card will allow you to delete any recorded
contents. Before using a DVD-RW/+RW on this video camera/recorder, you must format it.
1Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.
2Press the MENU button.

choose “Format HDD”, “Format DVD” or
“Format Card” on the “HDD Setting”, “DVD
Setting” or “Card” menu screen, and then
press the A button.
The screen for verifying “Format HDD”,
“Format DVD” or “Format Card” will appear.
4Choose “YES”, and then press the A
button.
When using DVD-RW, a screen for prompting
you to choose the VF or VR mode will appear.
Choose “NO” to cancel initialization.
Note:
If you wish to delete all recorded contents, it is
recommended that you use initialization, which will
delete all the scenes in much less time than using the
scene delete function.
Initialization will delete all the recorded contents on HDD,
disc or card: Be careful not to delete data by mistake.
It may not be possible to initialize a disc with many
scratches or dirt: Such a disc cannot be used (p. 10).
This DVD video camera/recorder may not recognize
some discs or cards that have been initialized on PC
or a device other than this DVD video camera/
recorder.
If you attempt to initialize a disc or card in this DVD
video camera/recorder when it is connected to PC via
PC connection cable, the disc or card may not be
initialized and may be unusable on this DVD video
camera/recorder.
If you choose the VR mode when initializing a
finalized DVD-RW (VR-mode), the finalization will not
be released. (The DVD-RW will be a finalized disc
without any recorded data, and recording will be
possible on it.)
Choosing the VF mode will release the finalization of
the disc.

Before You Begin
Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder for initialization. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off
during initialization and the initialization is interrupted, incorrect
initialization will result and the incorrectly initialized disc will be
unusable.
If you use a brand-new DVD-RW/+RW, message “DVD is not formatted”
will appear: Initialize the disc, following the subsequent messages
(p. 41).
