Playing your recordings on
other DVD players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in Video mode and DVD+R
discs. A number of players (including many
Pioneer models) can also play DVD-RW
discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not.
Most players will not play VR mode DVD-R
discs, although some DVD-ROM drives and
DVD recorders may be able to (finalization
might be necessary). Check the manual that
came with the player to check what kinds of
discs it will play.
When you finalize a Video mode or DVD+R
disc, a title menu is created from which you
can select titles when you play the disc.
There are a number of different styles of title
menu to choose from to suit the content of
the disc.
All the title menus are navigated in the usual
way, pressing
MENU
or
TOP MENU
to
display the menu, then using the
/ / /
followed by
ENTER
to select titles and
start playback.
Note
1 This cannot be selected if
AV2/L1 In
is set to
Decoder
(see
AV2/L1 In
on page 142).
