If appears when [STOP S] is pressed, you cannot cancel finalising because the finalising has already reached at a critical point in its process.

If “No” is selected and [ENTER] or [RETURN] is pressed, finalising is continued.

You cannot cancel finalising a DVD-R and DVD+RW/+R disc once it has started.

5 Finalising is complete.

Hint

automatically creates a Title menu.

• After you finalise the DVD+RW disc, you can call up

the title list by pressing [TOP MENU], or you can call

up the Title menu by pressing [DISC MENU].

• Even after DVD+RW disc is finalised, you can still

record or edit. After you finalise DVD-RW/-R or

DVD+R disc, you cannot edit or record anything else

on that disc.

• To release the finalisation of the disc, select “Undo

Finalise” at step 3.

• To release the finalisaion of the DVD+RW disc,

make an additional recording to the disc.

• For DVD+RW disc, if you have added or deleted

chapters, or made chapters hidden, you must

finalise the disc before being able to see those

effects on other units. To play back discs other than

DVD+RW disc on other DVD players, you will need

to finalise.

Note

• If you insert a DVD-RW disc finalised with this unit,

“Undo Finalise” will appear instead of “Finalise”.

• DO NOT power off during finalising. This may result

in a malfunction.
