FINALISING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW DISC (FINALIZE DISC)
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW disc recorded on this DVD video camera/
recorder, using a device conforming to 8 cm DVD disc – such as a DVD recorder/player, etc. – you
must finalise the disc on this DVD video camera/recorder.
If you wish to display the DVD video menu when playing back a +RW on a DVD player or DVD
recorder, finalise it using the Disc Navigation menu.
No further recording can be done on a finalised DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW. You can,
however, unfinalise the DVD-RW (VF-mode)/+RW so that other scenes can be recorded on it.
Additional recording is possible on a finalised DVD-RW (VR-mode): unfinalising is not necessary.

already been finalised, you cannot choose “Finalize
Disc”.
• The time required to finalise disc that appears on the
“Finalize Disc” screen is only for reference.

will take to finalise it.

recorder when finalising a DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW disc. Finalisation

turned off during finalisation and the finalisation is interrupted, incorrect
finalisation will result, and at worst, the disc may be damaged.
