Playing your recordings on

other DVD players

Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in Video mode and DVD+R
discs. A number of players (including many
Pioneer models) can also play DVD-RW
discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not.
Most players will not play VR mode DVD-R
discs, although some DVD-ROM drives and
DVD recorders may be able to (finalization
might be necessary). Check the manual that
came with the player to check what kinds of
discs it will play.

When you finalize a Video mode or DVD+R
disc, a title menu is created from which you
can select titles when you play the disc.
There are a number of different styles of title
menu to choose from to suit the content of
the disc.

All the title menus are navigated in the usual
way, pressing

MENU

or

TOP MENU

to

display the menu, then using the

/ / /

followed by

ENTER

to select titles and

start playback.

Finalizing a disc

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings on the disc
so that it can be played on a regular DVD
player or computer equipped with a suitable

DVD-ROM drive.

1

Note that the disc name will appear in the
title menu after you finalize a disc. Make sure
the disc name is as you want it before you
finalize the disc as it can’t be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc,
see

Input Disc Name

on page 125 before

starting the steps below.

DVD+RW discs don’t generally need
finalizing. However, if you want a title menu
to appear when you play the disc, then you
will need to finalize. When using a
DVD+RW, you can still record and edit even
after finalizing. although the title menu will
disappear if you do so. Finalize the disc
again to generate a new title menu.

Important

• Once you’ve finalized a Video mode or

DVD+R disc, you can’t edit or record
anything else on that disc. However, the
finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe
‘undone’; see

Undo Finalize

on page 126

for how to do this.

• A VR mode DVD-R/-RW (excluding DVD-

R DL) disc can still be recorded and
edited on this recorder even after
finalizing.
