INITIALIZING DVD-RAM DISC OR CARD (FORMAT DISC. FORMAT CARD)

Initialization is useful in this case, since it takes less time than deleting all data. The initialized disc or card
can be used again.

2 Press the MENU button.
3 Choose “Format Disc” or “Format Card” on the
“Disc” or “Card” menu screen, and then press
the button.
The screen for verifying “Format Disc” or
“Format Card” will appear.

Choose “NO” to cancel initialization.
