Finalising Discs
You will need to finalise discs to play them back in
other players.
Finalising may take from several minutes up to an
hour. (A disc recorded in Video mode can take up to
15 minutes. A disc recorded in VR mode can take up
to 60 minutes.)
A shorter recording period on the disc will require a
longer time period for finalisation. Do not unplug the
mains cable during finalisation.
Insert a recordable disc before
finalising.
1 In stop mode, press [SET UP].
“Easy Setting Menu” or “Advanced Setting Menu”
will appear.
2 Select “Disc” using [Cursor U / D],
then press [ENTER].
3 Select “Finalise” using
[Cursor U / D], then press [ENTER].
4 Select “Yes” using [Cursor U / D],
then press [ENTER].
Finalising will start.
To cancel finalising (DVD-RW only):
At step 4, press [STOP S], select “Yes,” then
press [ENTER]. Finalising is cancelled and the
unit switches to stop mode.
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 disc once it
has started.
5 Finalising is complete.
Hint
• Finalising a disc in Video mode automatically
creates a title menu.
• You can use the unit to record or edit a disc
recorded in VR mode even after it is finalised. After
you finalise a disc recorded in Video mode, you
cannot edit or record anything else on that disc.
• To reverse the finalisation of the disc, select “Undo
Finalise” at step 3.
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.
Auto Finalise
You can finalise discs automatically when the disc
space runs out if you set this in the Setting menu.
1 In stop mode, press [SET UP].
2 Select “Advanced Setting Menu”
using [Cursor U / D], then press
[ENTER].
If it has already appeared, proceed to step 3.
3 Select “Recording” using
[Cursor U / D], then press [ENTER].
4 Select “Auto Finalise” using
[Cursor U / D], then press [ENTER].
5 Press [ENTER].
6 Select “ON” using [Cursor U / D],
then press [ENTER].
7 Press [SET UP] to exit.
Note
• Auto finalise function is not available for discs
formatted in VR mode.
