Playing your recordings on
other DVD players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in DVD-R/-RW (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 DVD-R/-RW (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 121 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 DVD-R/-RW
(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 122 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.
• DVD-R DL (Video mode) discs and
DVD+R DL discs must be finalized in
order to play in other recorders/players.
Note however that some recorders/
players will not play even finalized dual-
layer discs.
