Playing Your Recordings on other DVD
Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RW.
A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs
recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manu-
al that came with the other player to check what kinds of
discs it will play.

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and editings in place so
that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or
computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for
navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing DISC
MENU / LIST or TITLE.
To finalize a disc, refer to Finalize” on page 26.

otes

Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD play-
ers.

The edited contents of DVD+RW disc is compatible
on regular DVD players only after finalizing.

Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not be
compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter
combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
