Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com- puter 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(DL) 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.

Notes:

•Finalization can take up to 3-4 minutes or more depend- ing 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 disc.

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