Disc Finalize
Finalizing a recordable disc ‘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/LIST or TITLE.
Caution
• Once you have finalized a DVD-R/+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.
