There *are* internal Menu functions... one of which is
"Disk Setup" ..... Manually selecting this option lets
you choose to "Initialize", "Finalize" and "Undo Finalize"
...... non of these functions function <S> except when a
new blank DVD-RW ( or a DVD-RW that had originally
been initialized by this Pioneer DVR ) is used.
I've tried formatting and/or wiping using "Nero", "InCD"
and "Alcohol-120%" ... but the Pioneer does not accept
the 'prepaired' DVD-RWs for normal processing.
these
I believe a utility that gets rid of *all* TOC and all sector/
formatting/finalizing info while wiping the DVD-RW would
enable pre used DVD-RWs to be recordable on the
Pioneer DVR.
