Initializing a Disk

Initializing a disk prepares the preformatted disk for storage and retrieval and

also erases all files on the disk. You can initialize both hard disks and optical

disks. (The hard disk comes preinitialized.) The optical disk must be initialized

before use. You must initialize each side of an optical disk before using it for the

first time.

CAUTION Do not format or initialize the hard disk unless requested to by your Philips

service representative. Initializing an optical disk or hard disk erases all informa-

tion on the disk.

1. Touch Disk.

2. Touch Init Disk. It takes about 10 seconds per side to initialize a disk,

depending on disk capacity.
