4.12 Finalize
a
Disc
Finalizing a disc seals the recording against adding additional segments or from
editing the existing material. Often, DVD devices require a disc to be finalized or
fixed
before playing back the recorded sequences.
Finalizing a disc recorded in the Video mode automatically creates a menu for
navigating the material. To access this menu, press
MENU
or
TOP MENU
on the
remote control.
Once a Video-formatted disc is finalized, additions and editing are blocked. Discs
recorded in the VR mode allow additional recordings and edits by reversing the
finalization.
Follow the directions below to finalize a disc.
1. Load the disc to be finalized.
Playback must be stopped before proceeding.
2. Press

3. Highlight

from the Setup menu.
4. Press

to access the Disc Setup menu.
5. Use the joystick to select
Finalize
from the submenu.
6. Highlight
Start
to prepare for disc finalization.
7. Press
ENTER
to begin finalizing the disc.
If disc finalization takes more than four minutes to complete, an option to cancel
the procedure appears on the screen. Press
ENTER
to cancel the operation. At
four minutes before completion of a longer project, the option to cancel the
operation disappears.
Disc format and content determines the amount of time required to finalize a disc.
To finalize a Video-formatted disc requires up to 20 minutes while finalizing a VR
disc may take up to an hour. Factors influencing finalization time are as follows:
Disc type
Total duration of recorded material
Number of titles on the disc
Note: DVD-RW discs finalized on a different DVD recorder may be un-finalized. Load
the disc and choose
Undo Finalize
from the Finalize menu.
