Optimize HDD

HDD
As you record, erase and edit recordings, the
HDD file system gradually becomes
fragmented. Periodically, the HDD will need
optimizing to 'clean up' all the fragmented
files.
When the HDD needs optimizing the
recorder will automatically display a
message recommending optimization.
Important
• Optimizing the HDD can take as long as
eight hours. During optimization,
playback and recording are not possible.
• Canceling optimization mid-way does
not undo the optimization already done,
so the HDD will be partly optimized.

Initialize HDD

HDD
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 can initialize the HDD to fix the problem.
Note that initializing the HDD will erase all
the data on it.
DVR-940HX-S: If you connect an external
HDD that this recorder cannot use, the
Initialize HDD option is displayed. When
using an external HDD for the first time, or
when using one that was being used with
another recorder, you'll need to initialize it
before use.
