• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder for initialization. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off
during initialization and the initialization is interrupted, incorrect
initialization will result and the incorrectly initialized disc will be
unusable.
• If you use a brand-new DVD-RW/DVD-R disc, message "Disc is not
formatted" will appear: Initialize the disc, following the subsequent
messages (p. 47).

Note
• If you wish to delete all recorded contents, it is
recommended that you use initialization, which will
delete all the scenes in much less time than using the
scene delete function.
• Initialization will delete all the recorded contents on
disc or card: Be careful not to delete data by mistake.
• It may not be possible to initialize a disc with many
scratches or dirt: Such a disc cannot be used (p. 27).
• This DVD video camera/recorder may not recognize
some discs or cards that have been initialized on PC
or a device other than this DVD video camera/
recorder.
• If you attempt to initialize a disc or card in this DVD
video camera/recorder when it is connected to PC via
PC connection cable, the disc or card may not be
initialized and may be unusable on this DVD video
camera/recorder.
• If you choose the VR mode when initializing a
finalized DVD-RW (VR-mode), the finalization will not
be released. (The DVD-RW will be a finalized disc
without any recorded data, and recording will be
possible on it.)
Choosing the VF mode will release the finalization of
the disc.
