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.
1 Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.
2 Press the MENU button.
3 Use the 2/1/0/// buttons to
choose “Finalize Disc” on the “Disc” menu
screen, and then press the button.
The disc will be finalised.
4 Choose “YES”, and then
press the button.
The message showing
that the disc is being
finalised will appear,
and the disc will then be
finalised.
5 When finalisation is complete, the Disc
Navigation screen of all programmes will
appear.
' will appear on the Disc Navigation screen
for a finalised disc.
Note:
• Do not finalise 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 finalised, you cannot choose “Finalize
Disc”.
• The time required to finalise 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 finalise it.
• The second and later finalisation will be faster with a
disc which has previously been finalised.
●Using FINALIZE button to finalise
a disc
Press the FINALIZE button during recording
pause: The screen shown in step 4 above will
appear. Choose “YES”, and then press the
button: Finalising will start.
Before You Begin
• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder when finalising a DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW disc. Finalisation
cannot be executed using a battery. If the DVD video camera/recorder is
turned off during finalisation and the finalisation is interrupted, incorrect
finalisation will result, and at worst, the disc may be damaged.
