This is for enabling discs to be played on other devices.
∫ 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 84) or formatting (l 81).
DVD-R: After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer
record.
∫ Finalizing VR format discs
DVD-RAM: It is not necessary to finalize DVD-RAM.
DVD-RW (VR format): Finalizing a DVD-RW (VR format) increases its compatibility with other
products. DVD-RW (VR format) after finalization can be recorded and
edited in the same way as DVD-RW (VR format) before finalization.
