FINALISING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW (FINALIZE DVD)
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded/dubbed 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/dubbing 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/dubbed on it.
Additional recording/dubbing is possible on a finalised DVD-RW (VR-mode): Unfinalising is not necessary.

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

will take to finalise it.

• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder when finalising a DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW. Finalisation cannot be

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