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.

•By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW discs for VR mode recording. See DVD-RW Auto Init. on page 104 if you want to change the default to Video mode.

•If a disc was previously finalized on an older DVD recorder, you may not be able to re-initialize and/or initialize it for Video mode recording.
