erase any content you need.)

TECT”. (page 82)

Initialization

Before recording to DVD-RW, initialize the disc in VR mode
or Video mode.

Finalization

Finalization is done so that a recorded DVD-RW/R can be
played back with other recorders.

DVD FINALIZE

• Set this when you want to play back a VR mode or Video mode disc

using another recorder capable of playback.
If you finalize a recording on DVD-R disc, you will not be able to
record any more on the disc.

• Finalization can take anywhere from a few minutes to one hour.

During finalization, all types of operation are disabled (including
turning off power and removing the disc).

• Do not unplug the power cord during finalization. Doing so may make

the disc unusable.

UNDO DVD FINALIZE

• This resets a finalized DVD-RW disc so you can record on it again.
