Notes
● A maximum of 20 minutes will be required to complete finalizing.
● When finalizing is carried out, all of the disc’s recorded video and audio are
stored in accordance with the DVD Video Standard; accordingly, this content
can also be replayed as DVD video.
● Although a disc finalized using this DVD recorder may in principle be played
on other DVD players, there is no guarantee that all of its content will be
playable.
● When a disc that has an introduction title recorded is finalized, the title
numbers are reduced by 1.
(Title 2 → Title 1)
● During introduction title recording mode, finalization cannot be carried out if
only title 1 has been recorded.
● In the case of a DVD-RW, it is possible to cancel the finalization and make
an additional recording. (☞ Page 31)
