Finalizing Discs
You must "Finalize" all recorded discs before they
can be played on other DVD players. Without final-
ization, Video mode discs cannot be played back on
other DVD players, and VR mode discs cannot be
played back on other VR compatible players.

Finalizing may take 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 finalization. Do not unplug the
power cord during finalization.

cannot record additionally or edit.
