Sharp dv-rw2u User Manual

This section explains each item of disc setup. See “Basic
Settings of the Disc Setup Screen” on page 89 to set each
item.

When you record on a DVD-RW disc in VR mode, you need
to initialize the disc in VR mode.
(This is used when you want to erase the entire contents of
a recorded disc. Check the recorded contents before
erasing so that disc contents are not erased by mistake.)

* This function does not work when the disc is protected.
* You cannot initialize DVD-R discs for VR mode.

When a DVD-RW disc is used to record in the Video mode,
the disc must be initialized in the Video mode before you
start recording. Initializing is also used to erase the entire
contents of a recorded disc (contents cannot be erased
from DVD-R discs).

* DVD-R discs cannot be initialized.

• When a disc recorded in the Video mode is played back

with another DVD player or when a disc recorded in the
VR mode is not played back with another DVD-RW-
compatible player, finalize the disc so that it can be
played back.

• Several minutes to about 1 hour may be required for

finalizing processing. (Processing takes longer time when
there is a large amount of available disc space on DVD-
RW discs (VR mode).)

• Once a disc has been finalized with this recorder, it does

not have to be finalized again.

• Discs in the VR mode that have been finalized with this

recorder can be recorded and edited even after they
have been finalized.

• A disc menu is generated for discs in the Video mode

that have been finalized with this recorder. Discs that
have been finalized cannot be used for recording or
editing.

• Finalizing cannot be selected when a finalized disc has

been loaded in the recorder. When a DVD-RW disc (VR
mode) that has been finalized with a different recorder is
loaded in this recorder, “UNDO FINALIZE” may be
displayed. The disc can be used for recording and
editing with this recorder if Undo Finalize is performed at
this time.

• Finalizing of VR mode discs can be interrupted even

when finalizing is in progress. However, starting about 4
minutes before completion of finalizing, the interrupt
display is no longer displayed, indicating that finalizing
can no longer be interrupted. In addition, finalizing can
also not be interrupted if the interrupt display is not
displayed from the start of finalizing.

This lets you protect a recorded disc. Disc protect prevents
the contents of that disc from being altered by recording or
editing. In addition, this procedure is used to cancel disc
protect. Once disc protect is canceled, it can again be used
for recording and editing.

Æ OFF: Disc protect is canceled and the disc can be used

for editing and recording.

Æ ON: Disc protect is activated and the disc cannot be

edited or recorded.

* Discs for which disc protect has been set cannot be

initialized.

* Disc protect is only available for DVD-RW discs (VR

mode).

* Protect processing may take up to about 2 minutes

depending on the recording status of the disc such as if
the disc contains a large number of titles.
