Finalizing a Disc (Preparing
a Disc for Playback on
Other Equipment)
Finalizing is necessary in order to play discs
recorded with this recorder on other DVD
equipment.
When you finalize a DVD+RW/DVD-RW (Video
mode)/DVD+R/DVD-R, a DVD menu will be
automatically created, which can be displayed on
other DVD equipment.
Before finalizing, check the differences between
the disc types in the table below.

Discs are automatically finalized when
removed from the recorder. If you want

Finalizing is unnecessary when playing a
disc on VR format compatible equipment.
Even if your other DVD equipment is
VR format compatible, you may need to
finalize the disc, especially if the
recording time is short. After finalizing,
you cannot edit or record on the disc. If
you want to edit or record on it again,
unfinalize or reformat the disc (page 66).
Note however, that reformatting a disc
erases all its contents.
Finalizing is necessary in order to play
on equipment other than this recorder.
After finalizing, you cannot edit or
record on the disc. If you want to edit or
record on it again, unfinalize or reformat
the disc (page 66). Note however, that
reformatting a disc erases all its
contents.
Finalizing is necessary in order to play
on equipment other than this recorder.

or record on the disc.
