Initializing Discs; Setting The Clock - Sony DKR-700 Instructions For Use Manual

When data check completes, the BUSY indicator goes
out, and the DKR-700/700P beeps if the "Beep" in the
System Setup menu is set to On.
If the disc is not initialized or initialized to a format
incompatible with the DKR-700/700P
The ALL ERASE/INIT button blinks (the message
"Initialize" appears on the screen), and the DKR-700/
700P stands-by for initialization. The button will stop
blinking if it is left for about five seconds.
See "Initializing Discs" on this page for details.
Removing the disc
Press the EJECT button to eject the disc.
If the BUSY indicator is lit or blinking when you press
the EJECT button, the disc is ejected after internal
processing is completed.
The Disc may be stored in the DKR-700/700P except
when shipping the DKR-700/700P.

Initializing Discs

To record images on a disc with the DKR-700/700P,
the disc must first be initialized to a format compatible
with the DKR-700/700P.
Note
Initializing a disc erases all data in the disc. Check the
data recorded on the disc before beginning the
operation.
1
Insert a disc to be initialized into the DKR-700/
700P and activate the DKR-700/700P (see page
18(E)).
The ALL ERASE/INIT button blinks (the message
"Initialize" appears on the screen).
2
While the ALL ERASE/INIT button is blinking,
press it (or the ALL ERASE/INIT key). If the ALL
ERASE/INIT button/key is left for about five
seconds, the button will stop blinking. The button
will start blinking by pressing it (or the ALL
ERASE/INIT key).
The ALL ERASE/INIT button lights, and disc
initialization starts.
After about 3 minutes, initialization completes (the
ALL ERASE/INIT button goes out).
Caution
During initialization the BUSY indicator is lit or
blinking. At this point, be careful not to disconnect
the AC power cord from the outlet. If the power is
disconnected the disc could be damaged.
