Playing the disc on other DVD players

The disc must be fi nalized after recording ( 49).

All DVD-R, etc. discs recorded on this unit must be fi nalized before they can be played on other DVD players. Once

finalized, DVD-R, etc. become “read-only” and can no longer be used for recording. DVD-RW can be reused after

finalizing.

Whether DL discs recorded on this unit can be played on other DVD players will depend entirely on the capabilities of that player. 100% compatibility is not guaranteed.
