Playing on other Players (Finalized)
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or
DVD+RWs. A small number of players can also play
DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not.
Check the manual that came with the other player to
check what formats of discs it will play.
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and editings in place
so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD play-
er or computer equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM
drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen
for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by
pressing DISC MENU/LIST or TITLE MENU.
To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 27.
Notes:
• Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD
players.
• The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compati-
ble on regular DVD players only after finalization.
• Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not
compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter
combine, added chapter mark, etc.)
• How long finalization takes depends on the type of
disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the
number of titles on the disc.
• DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to final-
ize.
