Unfinalizing the Disc - Additional Recordings on a Finalized Disc

Unfinalize a disc to allow recording additional movies on the disc even after it was finalized.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to unfinalize the disc in normal room temperatures. If the procedure was not completed correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder cool off before resuming operation.

Place the camcorder on a table or other stable surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable) after the unfinalization process started may result in permanent data loss.

Always power the camcorder using the compact power adapter. The operation cannot be started if the camcorder is powered only with the battery pack.

Avoid the following actions while the operation is in progress. Failing to do so can interrupt the process and result in permanent data loss.

-Do not move the camcorder.

-Do not disconnect the compact power adapter.

Only discs that were finalized using this camcorder can be unfinalized with it.
