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 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 50.

Disc Protect

When recording in 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].
