3Removing a disc before finalization

A recorded DVD-R/RW disc can be removed before finalization. A disc that has not been finalized can be loaded again for playing or additional recording.

However, it must be finalized to enable playback on another DVD player.

Note 1:

Removing a recorded DVD disc whether finalized or not finalized deletes the DVD menu settings, clip name and chapter name settings. Edit DVD menu settings, titles and chapter names prior to finalization.

Note 2:

Discs removed before finalization cannot be played back and used for making additional recordings on the initial PRV-LX1 version (prior to 1.12/1.02). If playback and making additional recordings is not possible on another PRV-LX1, check the system version. See “System Information” on page 31 for information on how to check system version.

Note 3:

Discs removed before finalization cannot be played back and used for making additional recordings on home recorders other than the PRV-LX1.

Note 4:

Discs recorded on home recorders other than the PRV-LX1 that are not finalized cannot be played back or used for additional recordings on the PRV-LX1.

7Notes for Simultaneous Recording on Two Drives

÷ Two discs removed simultaneously from each

drive before finalization can be reloaded for simultaneous additional recording.

÷ Reselecting a drive makes it possible to cancel simultaneous recording and continue recording on one drive. Simultaneous recording cannot be resumed after this. Menus, chapter names and clip names can be edited after selecting one drive. Note that resuming a simultaneous recording after this will delete all edited data.

÷ Finalized discs that are canceled finalization cannot be used for simultaneous recording.

7Precautions When Saving Data to Hard Disk

Removing a disc before finalization when a recording is made both to a DVD disc and the hard disk (see page 35), the data recorded until the disc is removed remains on the hard disk. A new project is automatically created when this disc is reinserted and additional data that is recorded is saved to this project. Thus data recorded prior to removal and data recorded after reinsertion is saved to different projects.

4Finalizing discs

A DVD disc must be finalized using the EDIT section = [DVD Disc] = [Finalize] command to complete the recording of a DVD disc.

The DVD menu is recorded on the disc at

finalization depending on made settings.

Note:

In the event the EJECT button is pressed during the recording stop mode, if the [Operation] = [Control Setting] = [Eject Setting] command on the SETUP section has been set to “Eject,” the disc will be ejected without finalizing. In the case of “Finalize&Eject”, if the drive for the EJECT button pressed is the same as the drive selected with the DRIVE SELECT button, a dialog box will appear asking whether you wish to finalize the disc. Discs which have not yet been finalized cannot be played

on other DVD players.
