Initializing DVD-RAM Disc or Card (Format Disc. format Card)

2 Press the MENU button.

3 Choose “Format Disc” or “Format Card” on the “Disc” or “Card” menu screen, and then press the ￿ button.

The screen for verifying “Format Disc” or “Format Card” will appear.

4 Choose “YES”, and then press the ￿button.

Choose “NO” to cancel initialization.

Note:

Initialization will delete all the recorded contents on disc or card: Be careful not to delete data by mistake.

Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger when initializing disc or card so that the DVD Palmcorder is not turned off midway. If initialization is interrupted by power turning off, the disc or card will not be initialized correctly, or it may be damaged.

It may not be possible to initialize a disc with many scratches or dirt: Such a disc cannot be used.

If you use a brand-new DVD-R disc, message “Disc is not formatted” will appear: Initialize the disc, following the subsequent messages (See page 44).

This DVD Palmcorder may not recognize some discs or cards that have been initialized on PC or a device other than this DVD Palmcorder.

If you attempt to initialize a disc or card in this DVD Palmcorder when it is connected to PC via USB cable, the disc or card may not be initialized and may be unusable on this DVD Palmcorder.
