Initial Setup (Continued)

Disc Finalize

Finalizing a recordable disc ‘locks’ its recordings in
place so the disc can be played on most standard DVD
players or computers equipped with DVD-ROM drives.
Finalizing a disc formatted in Video mode will automati-
cally create a menu screen for navigating the disc. This
menu screen is accessible by pressing DISC
MENU/LIST or TITLE.

Caution

• Once you have finalized a DVD-R disc, you cannot

edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, you can record and edit a DVD-RW disc
by choosing Unfinalize.

Finalization can take up to 3-4 minutes depending on

If you load a DVD-RW that has already been finalized
on a different DVD Recorder, you can ‘Unfinalize’ it by
choosing Unfinalize from the Finalize menu. After doing
this, you can edit and re-record onto the disc.
You cannot unfinalize a DVD-R disc.

Disc Protect

When recording to a DVD-RW disc formatted in VR
mode, use Disc Protect to prevent accidental recording,
editing or erasing of the loaded disc.

Video mode or DVD-R discs.
If you need to unlock a disc to make edits, select OFF.
