It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes.

This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.
