You will need to finalize discs
recorded in Video mode to play
them back on other DVD players.
Finalizing may take several minutes
up to an hour. (It can take up to
1
5
minutes for a disc recorded in Video
mode and 60 minutes for a disc
recorded in VR mode.)
A shorter recording period on the
disc will require a longer time peri-
od for finalization. Do not unplug
the power cord during finalization.
