Playing your recordings on other DVD 
players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs 
recorded in Video mode. 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 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.
Finalizing a disc
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc 
can be played on a regular DVD player or computer 
equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after 
you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you 
want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed 
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see 
Input Disc
Name
on page 87 before starting the steps below.
Important
• Once you’ve finalized a disc recorded in Video mode,
you can’t edit or record anything else on that disc. 
However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe 
‘undone’; see 
Undo Finalize
on page 88 for how to do
this.
• A VR mode disc can still be recorded and edited on
this recorder even after finalizing.
1
Load the disc you want to finalize.
Make sure that the recorder is stopped before 
proceeding.
2
Press HOME MENU and select ‘Disc Setup’.
3
Select ‘Finalize’.
Note
1.If the audio subcode on the DV tape cannot be read correctly, the audio type will not switch automatically. You can switch the audio manually
from the
External Audio
setting (page 93).
