FINALIZING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW DISC (FINALIZE DISC)
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R 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
finalize 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, finalize it using the Disc Navigation menu.
No further recording can be done on a finalized DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW. You can,
however, unfinalize the DVD-RW (VF-mode)/+RW so that other scenes can be recorded on it.
Additional recording is possible on a finalized DVD-RW (VR-mode): unfinalizing is not necessary.
1 Press the DISC NAVIGATION .
2 Press the MENU button.
3 Use the f/e/d/c/A buttons to
choose “Finalize Disc” on the “Disc” menu
screen, and then press the A button.
The disc will be finalized.
4 Choose “YES”, and then
press the A button.
The message showing
that the disc is being
finalized will appear,
and the disc will then be
finalized.

Navigation screen of all programs will appear.
U will appear on the Disc Navigation screen
for a finalized disc.
Note:
• Do not finalize a disc recorded on this DVD video
camera/recorder using any other device.
• If the disc in the DVD video camera/recorder has
already been finalized, you cannot choose “Finalize
Disc”.
• The time required to finalize disc that appears on the
“Finalize Disc” screen is only for reference.
• The shorter the recording time on disc, the longer it
will take to finalize it.
• The second and later finalization will be faster with a
disc which has previously been finalized.
●Using FINALIZE button to finalize
a disc
Press the FINALIZE button during recording
pause: The screen shown in step 4 above will
appear. Choose “YES”, and then press the A
button: Finalizing will start.
Before You Begin
• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder when finalizing a DVD-RW/DVD-R disc. Finalization cannot be
executed using a battery. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off
during finalization and the finalization is interrupted, incorrect
finalization will result, and at worst, the disc may be damaged.
