5 The 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. DVD-R/-RW
(Video mode) and DVD+R/+RW discs can take up to
20 minutes.
Initializing recordable DVD discs
DVD-R/-RW discs can be initialized for either Video mode
recording or VR mode recording. 1
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 Initialize below 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.
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.
2 Select ‘Initialize’ > ‘Video Mode’, ‘VR
Mode’ or ‘Initialize DVD+RW’.
3 Select ‘Start’.
It takes about 30 seconds to initialize the disc (except
DVD-RAM discs, which can take up to an hour).
DVD-RW Auto Initialize
• Default setting: VR Mode
Initialization mode is automatically carried out when you
insert a blank DVD-RW. You must set the desired
initialization mode before inserting a disc.
1 Select ‘Disc Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2 Select ‘Basic’>’DVD-RW Auto Init.’, then
‘VR Mode’ or ‘Video Mode’.
Note
1 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.
