∫ Finalizing video format discs
Be sure to finalize the disc on this unit, before using it on other devices.
DVD-RW (Video format): After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only. You can record on the
disc after un-finalizing (l 101) or formatting (l 98).

After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record.

edited in the same way as DVD-RW (VR format) before finalization.
