Disc Finalize
Finalizing a recordable disc ‘locks’ its recordings in
place so the disc can be played on most standard DVD
players or computers equipped with DVD-ROM drives.
Finalizing a disc formatted in Video mode will automati-
cally create a menu screen for navigating the disc. This
menu screen is accessible by pressing DISC
MENU/LIST or TITLE.
Caution
• Once you have finalized a DVD-R disc, you cannot
edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, you can record and edit a DVD-RW disc
by choosing Unfinalize.

on a different DVD Recorder, you can ‘Unfinalize’ it by
choosing Unfinalize from the Finalize menu. After doing
this, you can edit and re-record onto the disc.
