Finalizing the Disc
The length of the finalization process
depends on the scenes recorded and the
remaining free space on the disc.
POINTS TO CHECK
Power the camcorder using the compact
power adapter.
* Only when using a DVD-RW recorded in VR
mode. With discs recorded in VIDEO mode,
pressing
will open the menu directly
on the setup menus screen.
**During the disc finalization a progress bar is
displayed. Close the menu only after the
screen display returns to the [DISC
OPERATIONS] menu.
Playing Back your Disc on a DVD Player
or a Computer’s DVD Drive
After finalizing the disc, you can play it on
DVD players compatible with the type of
disc you used (DVD-R, DVD-R DL or
DVD-RW). You cannot play back discs
that have not yet been finalized on an
external DVD device.
For details about disc compatibility refer
to the instruction manual of the DVD
