Initialize settings
You can initialize a recordable DVD disc for either VR
mode or Video mode recording.
The first time you load a new DVD-RW disc, it will be
automatically initialized for recording according to the
DVD-RW Auto Init. setting in the Initial Setup menu (see
page 95).
New DVD-R discs are ready for Video mode recording
when you load them, but it is also possible to initialize
them for VR mode recording.
The initialize menu here lets you reinitialize a disc, for
example if you want to change the recording format of
the disc. See
Initializing a recordable DVD disc
on page 56
for detailed instructions.
Finalize settings
Finalize
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
See
Playing your recordings on other DVD players
on
page 55 for detailed instructions.
Undo Finalize
You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded
on this recorder in Video mode. You need to do this if you
want to record more material or edit material already on
the disc.
You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs
which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If
when you load a disc the message
This disc cannot be
recorded. Undo the finalization
is displayed, use this
command to be able to record on the disc using this
recorder.
1 From the Disc Setup menu, select ‘Finalize’, then
‘Undo Finalize’ from the finalize options.
2 Select ‘Start’.
Optimize HDD
You’ll see a message appear on-screen recommending
you optimize the 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.
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.
• Select ‘Optimize HDD’ from the disc Setup menu.
• Select ‘Start’ to optimize.
A progress bar indicates how long there is left to go.
Initialize 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 initialize the HDD to fix the problem.
Note that initializing the HDD will erase all the data on it.
• Select ‘Initialize HDD’ from the disc Setup menu.
• Select ‘Start’ to initialize.
