Disc Settings (Continued)

Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

Caution

Once you have finalized a DVD-R and DVD+R disc, you cannot edit or record anything else on that disc except DVD+RW. However, you can record and edit a DVD-RW disc by choosing [Unfinalize] option.

1.Select [Finalize] option then press B.

2.Press ENTER while [Finalize] is selected. Finalize menu appears.

3.Select [OK] then press ENTER.

The recorder starts finalizing the disc.

Note:

How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc.

DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize.

Tips

If you load a DVD-RW that has already been finalized, you can ‘Unfinalize’ it by choosing Unfinalize from the Finalize menu. After doing this, you can edit and re-record onto the disc.

You cannot unfinalize a DVD-R and DVD+R (DL) disc.

If [Disc Protect] option is set to [ON], the finalize is not available. To finalize, set [Disc Protect] option to [OFF].

Disc Label

Use this to enter a name for the disc. This name appears when you load the disc and when you display disc information on-screen.

The disc name can be up to 32 characters long. For discs formatted on a different recorder, you will see only a limited character set.

1.Select [Disc Label] option then press B.

2.Press ENTER while [Edit] is selected. Keyboard menu appears.

To enter characters, see page 43.

Disc Protect

When recording in DVD-RAM / DVD+RW / +R disc or VR mode formatted DVD-RW disc, set to [ON] to prevent accidental recording, editing or deleting of the disc loaded. If you need to unlock the disc to make edits, select [OFF].

PBC

PBC stands for Playback Control and refers to special menus and navigation features that are available on some Video CDs.

[ON] Video CDs are played according to the PBC, if available.

[OFF] Video CDs are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play

You can set up the unit so a DVD disc automatically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.

If Auto Play mode is set to On, this unit will search for title that has the longest playback time and then play back the title automatically.

Note:

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.
