About Playing Recordings on Other
DVD Players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+Rs, or
DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not.
Check the manual that came with the player to check
what kinds of discs it will play.
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and edits in place so
that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or
computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for
navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing DISC
MENU/LIST or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to “Disc
Finalize” on page 25.
otes
Unfinalized DVD+RWs are playable on regular DVD
players.
The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc are compati-
ble with regular DVD players only after finalizing.
Any edited contents of a DVD+R disc are not compat-
ible with regular DVD players (e.g., hidden/combined
chapters, manually added chapter marks, etc.)
