Initializing a DVD-RW disc

DVD-RW

When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will initialize it automatically for recording. You can also manually initialize DVD-RW discs.

You can initialize a disc for either Video mode recording or VR mode recording.

Important

•Initializing a disc will erase everything recorded on it. Make sure there is nothing on the disc that you want to keep!

•You may not be able to re-initialize a disc in a different format if it was originally initialized on an older DVD recorder.
