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.

English

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 insert a brand-new DVD-RW/+RW, message “DVD is not formatted” will appear: Initialize the disc, following the subsequent messages (p. 39).

The screen for verifying “Format HDD”, “Format DVD” or “Format Card” will appear.

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.
