To cancel the disc protect:

• Select “Disc Protect ON OFF” at step 3, then
select “Yes.”
• If you insert a disc protected with this unit, “Disc
Protect ON OFF” will appear instead of “OFF

Finalising discs
You will need to finalise discs to play them back in
other players.
Finalising may take from several minutes up to an
hour. (A disc recorded in Video mode can take up to
15 minutes. A disc recorded in VR mode can take up
to 60 minutes.)

longer time period for finalisation. Do not unplug the
mains cable during finalisation.
