Note

When using a DVD+RW disc, finalizing is unnecessary; no message prompting finalization appears when ejecting the disc, and there is no need to finalize from the Setup menu.

You can always add videos or photos on a DVD+RW disc (excluding slideshow DVDs) with the DVDirect, and the disc can always be played with a DVD player or the DVD drive of a computer.

Erase disc

Erase all data recorded on a DVD+RW or DVD-RW disc. The erased disc is reusable as a blank disc.

Notes
