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 (Video mode), 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.
Differences between the disc types
Discs are automatically finalized when
removed from the recorder. You can edit
or record on the disc even after
finalizing.
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 68).
Note however, that reformatting a disc
erases all its contents.
Finalizing is necessary in order to play

the disc (page 68). Note however, that
