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.)

 

 

 

 

 

A shorter recording period on the disc will require a

longer time period for finalisation. Do not unplug the

mains cable during finalisation.

Insert a recordable disc before finalising.

If appears when [STOP S] is pressed, you cannot cancel finalising because the finalising has already reached at a critical point in its process.

If “No” is selected and [ENTER] or [RETURN] is pressed, finalising is continued.

You cannot cancel finalising a DVD-R disc once it has started.

5 Finalising is complete.

Hint

Finalising a disc in Video mode automatically creates a title menu.

You can use the unit to record or edit a disc recorded in VR mode even after it is finalised. After you finalise a disc recorded in Video mode, you cannot edit or record anything else on that disc.

To reverse the finalisation of the disc, select “Undo Finalise” at step 3.

Note

If you insert a DVD-RW disc finalised with this unit, “Undo Finalise” will appear instead of “Finalise.”

DO NOT power off during finalising. This may result in a malfunction.
