DISC Finalize
Finalizing a DVD-R/RW ‘locks’ its recordings in place so
the disc can be played on most standard DVD players
or computers equipped with DVD-ROM drives.
Finalizing a disc formatted in Video mode will automati-
cally create a menu screen for navigating the disc. This
menu screen is accessible by pressing DISC MENU or
TITLE.
Caution
• Once you have finalized a DVD-R disc, you cannot
edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, you can record and edit a DVD-RW disc
by choosing Unfinalize.

Finalization can take up to 3-4 minutes depending on

the number of titles on the disc.
ip
If you load a DVD-RW that has already been finalized
on a different DVD Recorder, you can ‘Unfinalize’ it by
choosing Unfinalize from the Finalize menu. After doing
this, you can edit and re-record onto the disc.
You cannot unfinalize a DVD-R disc.
DISC Protect
When a DVD-RW disc is formatted in VR mode, set
DISC Protect to ON to prevent accidental recording,
editing or erasing of the loaded disc. If you need to
unlock the disc to make edits, select OFF.
EZ Play
When you load a DVD with EZ Play turned on, the DVD
Recorder+VCR will bypass the Disc menu and trailers
and start playing the movie automatically. Set Ez Play to
ON or OFF.

menus and navigation features that are available on
some Video CDs.
