Do not insert a DVD-RW/DVD-R
disc recorded, but not finalized, on
a recorder manufactured by a
company other than Hitachi into
this camcorder. Doing so may
make the disc unusable.
Before you begin
You must finalize a DVD-RW (VF
mode)/DVD-R/+RW disc recorded/
dubbed on this camcorder before
playing it back using a DVD recorder/
player compatible with 8 cm discs.
Note that no further recording/
dubbing is possible for a finalized
DVD-R.
Likewise, no further recording/
dubbing is possible for a finalized
DVD-RW (VF mode), though, you
can unfinalize it to enable further
recording/dubbing.
There may be a case for a DVD-RW
(VR mode) that finalization is needed,
however, further recording/dubbing is
possible without unfinalizing it.
