Important

A locked disc can still be initialized (which will completely erase the disc).

Initialize

See Initializing a DVD-RW disc on page 40 for detailed instructions on this option.

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.

See Playing your recordings on other DVD players on page 39 for detailed instructions.

Undo Finalize

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded on this recorder in Video mode. You need to do this if you want to record more material or edit material already on the disc.

You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If when you load a disc the message This disc cannot be recorded. Undo the finalization is displayed, use this command to be able to record on the disc using this recorder.

Select Finalize, then Undo Finalize Start from the finalize options screen.
