5The recorder will now start finalizing the disc.

During finalization:

If the finalization process of a DVD-RW or DVD+R/+RW disc is going to take more than around four minutes, you can press ENTER to cancel. Around four minutes before completion, the option to cancel disappears.

You can’t cancel the finalization of a VR mode DVD-R disc.

How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc and the number of titles on the disc. A disc recorded in VR mode can take up to one hour to finalize. Video mode DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW discs can take up to 20 minutes.

Important

Initializing a DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM 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 DVD-RW disc in a different format if it was originally initialized on an older DVD recorder.

Once initialized for VR mode recording, you can’t re-initialize a DVD-R back to Video mode.

1 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu.

DVD-R/-RW discs can be initialized for either Video mode recording or VR mode

When you first load a blank DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc, the recorder initializes it for recording automatically. By default, blank DVD-RW discs are initialized for VR mode recording. See DVD-RW Auto Init. on

page 146 if you want to change the default to Video mode.

DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recordings out of the box; if you want to use a DVD-R for VR mode recording, you must initialize it before recording anything on the disc.

DVD+RW and DVD-RAM discs can also be initialized in order to erase the contents of the disc.

2 Select ‘Initialize’ > ‘Video Mode’, ‘VR Mode’ or ‘Initialize DVD+RW’.
