Finalize
Finalizing a disc enables it to be played on a regular
DVD player or computer equipped with DVD-ROM
drives.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen
for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing
LIST/ DISC MENU or TITLE.
Caution
Once you have finalized a DVD+R disc, you cannot
edit or record anything else on that disc except
DVD+RW.
1. Select [DISC] > [Finalize] > [Finalize]
and press OK.
2. Select [Yes] then press OK.
Finalization can take up to 3-4 minutes or more depend-
ing on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the
disc, and the number of titles on the disc.
Tips:
•You cannot unfinalize a DVD+R disc.
• If [Disc Protect] option is set to [ON], the finalize is not
available. To finalize, set [Disc Protect] option to [OFF].

disc. This name appears when you load the disc and

Disc Protect
Depending on the type of disc you are using, Disc

variety of ways:
• DVD+RW : Prevents editing, erasing, regular
recording, or overwriting of existing recordings.
• DVD+R : Prevents editing, regular recording or
erasing of existing recordings.
Note:
If you need to unlock a disc to make edits, select [OFF].

When you load a DVD with AutoPlay turned on, the
