Important

• A locked disc can still be initialized (which will

completely erase the disc).

Note

• You cannot change the lock setting for a disc if the TV

line system of the disc is different to the current
setting of the recorder. See

Input Line System

on

page 98 for how to change the recorder’s setting.

Initialize settings

You can initialize a DVD-RW disc for either VR mode
recording or Video mode recording. The first time you
load a new DVD-RW disc, it will be automatically
initialized for recording according to the DVD-RW Auto
Init. setting in the Initial Setup menu (see page 108).

The initialize menu here lets you reinitialize a disc, for
example if you want to change the recording format of
the disc. See

Initializing a DVD-RW disc

on page 60 for

detailed instructions.

HDD Initialize

When your DVD recorder is working without a problem
this option is not visible in the Disc Setup menu.
However, if the HDD file system becomes corrupted for
some reason, you initialize the HDD to fix the problem.
Note that initializing the HDD will erase all the data on it.

Select ‘Initialize HDD’ from the disc Setup menu.

• Select ‘Start’ to initialize.

Finalize settings

Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

See

Playing your recordings on other DVD players

on

page 59 for detailed instructions.

Undo Finalize

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded
on this recorder in Video mode. You need to do this if you
want to record more material or edit material already on
the disc.

You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs
which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If
when you load a disc the message

This disc cannot be

recorded. Undo the finalization

is displayed, use this

command to be able to record on the disc using this
recorder.

1

From the Disc Setup menu, select ‘Finalize’, then

‘Undo Finalize’ from the finalize options.

2

Select ‘Start’.

Note

• You cannot finalize a disc or use the Undo Finalize

command if the TV line system of the disc is different
to the current setting of the recorder. See

Input Line

System

on page 98 for how to change the recorder’s

setting.
