Initialise/Finalise

See also page 15 for information on Initialisation and Finalisation.

Initialisation

Before recording to DVD-RW, initialise the disc in VR mode
or Video mode.
You can also initialise the HDD. Initialise the HDD only after
dubbing important recordings onto DVD-RW/R disc(s).
DVD INITIALISE (VR)
• When recording with a DVD-RW in VR mode, initialise in
VR mode before you start recording.
(When you initialise, all of the recorded content of the disc
is erased. Before initialising, check the content of the disc
so that you do not erase any content you need.)
• You cannot initialise if "DISC PROTECT" is set to
"PROTECT". (page 94)
DVD INITIALISE (VIDEO)
• When recording with a DVD-RW disc in Video mode,
initialise in Video mode before you start recording.
(When you initialise, all of the recorded content of the disc
is erased. Before initialising, check the content of the disc
so that you do not erase any content you need.)
• You cannot initialise a DVD-R disc.
INITIALISE HARD DISC
• If an HDD error message is displayed, or if you wish to
return the HDD to the state it was in when the Recorder
was purchased, initialise the HDD. All recorded video will
be erased. (If you use the "ERASE ALL TITLES" function
to erase the titles, protected titles will remain, but if you
use the HDD initialising function, all titles will be erased.)
Dub any important recordings to DVD-RW/R disc(s)
before initialising the HDD.
NOTE
• After "INITIALISE HARD DISC" is completed, the power
goes off automatically.

Finalisation

Finalisation is done so that a recorded DVD-RW/R disc can
be played back with other recorders.
DVD FINALISE
• Set this when you want to playback a VR mode or Video
mode disc using another recorder capable of playback.
If you finalise a recording on DVD-R disc, you will not be
able to record any more on the disc. (If you undo
finalisation on DVD-RW, you will be able to record on it
again. On the other hand, you can not undo finalisation
on DVD-R discs.)
• Finalisation can take anywhere from a few minutes to one
hour.
During finalisation, all types of operation are disabled
(including turning off power and removing the disc).
• Do not unplug the power cord during finalisation. Doing
so may make the disc unusable.
UNDO DVD FINALISE
• This resets a finalised DVD-RW disc so you can record on
it again.
