During finalization:
• If the finalization process of a DVD-RW disc is going
to take more than around four minutes, you can
press

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. A disc
recorded in Video mode can take up to 20 minutes.
Initializing a recordable DVD disc
When you first load a blank disc, the recorder will
initialize it automatically for recording. You can also
manually initialize discs for either Video mode recording
or VR mode recording.

By default, the recorder initializes blank DVD-RW discs
for VR mode recording. See
DVD-RW Auto Init.
on page 97
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 do it before recording anything else
on the disc.
Important
• Initializing a DVD-RW 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 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.
2 Select ‘Initialize’
3 Select ‘Video Mode’ or ‘VR Mode’ from the
initialize options.
4 Select ‘Start’.
It takes about 30 seconds to initialize the disc.
