Pioneer PRV-9200 operating instructions Can the recorder control an external DV camera?

7)Do different VBR settings and number of recording session affect finalization times?

Yes. Finalization time is partly based on how much data is recorded to the disc. Recording at 5.2 Mbps VBR creates a smaller data file then recording at 9.87 Mbps VBR. A smaller data file occupies less space and takes longer to finalize. However, additional recording sessions create more data on a disc, reducing the time needed to finalize the disc. For more information, refer to Chapter 6: Recording Time and Picture Quality (page 45) and Chapter 7: High-Speed Copying (page 59) in the PRV-9200 operating instructions that came with your recorder.

8)Can you un-finalize a DVD-RW disc to record more content without losing the original material?

Yes, data can bee added to a previously finalized DVD-RW disc.

1)Access the Disc Setup menu.

2)Select the Finalize option from the menu.

3)Choose Undo Finalize from the submenu.

4)Select Start to begin process.

9)What happens if disc finalization is interrupted or cancelled before being complete?
