FINALIZING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW (FINALIZE DVD)
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/+RW. 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.
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded/dubbed on this DVD video camera/
recorder, using a device conforming to 8cm 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
recordm; finalize it using the Disc Navigation menu.
No further recording/dubbing 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/
dubbed on it.
