or it may be damaged.
It may not be possible to initialize a disc with many 
scratches or dirt: Such a disc cannot be used (P.82).
If you use a brand-new DVD-R disc, message “Disc is 
not formatted” will appear: Initialize the disc, following 
the subsequent messages (P.45).
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.
Before You Begin
• 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.
