Initialize settings

You can initialize a DVD-RW disc for either VR mode
recording or Video mode recording. The first time you
load a new DVD-RW disc, it will be automatically
initialized for recording according to the DVD-RW Auto
Init. setting in the Initial Setup menu (see page 86).

The initialize menu here lets you reinitialize a disc, for
example if you want to change the recording format of
the disc. See

Initializing a DVD-RW disc

on page 57 for

detailed instructions.

Finalize settings

Finalize

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.

See

Playing your recordings on other DVD players

on

page 56 for detailed instructions.

Undo Finalize

You can undo the finalization on DVD-RW discs recorded
on this recorder in Video mode. You need to do this if you
want to record more material or edit material already on
the disc.

You can also undo the finalization of VR mode discs
which have been finalized on other DVD recorders. If
when you load a disc the message

This disc cannot be

recorded. Undo the finalization

is displayed, use this

command to be able to record on the disc using this
recorder.

From the Disc Setup menu, select ‘Finalize’, then

‘Undo Finalize’ from the finalize options.

• You cannot finalize a disc or use the Undo Finalize

command if the TV line system of the disc is different
to the current setting of the recorder. See
