Discs that can be unfinalized

Only DVD-RW discs recorded in VIDEO mode and finalized with this camcorder can be unfinalized. DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs cannot be unfinalized at all, whereas DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode do not need to (you can record additional scenes without unfinalizing the disc).

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 a cable) after the unfinalization process started may result in permanent data loss.

•Do not disconnect the power source while the operation is in progress. Doing so can interrupt the process and result in permanent data loss.

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