Playing your recordings on other DVD players 
(finalizing a disc)
Most regular DVD players can play finalized 
discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R, 
or DVD+RWs. A small number of players can 
also play DVD-RWs recorded in VR mode, 
finalized or not. Check the manual that came 
with the other player to check what formats it will 
play.
Finalizing “fixes” the recordings and editings in 
place so that the disc can be played on a regular 
DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable 
DVD-ROM drive.
Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu 
screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be 
accessed by pressing DISC MENU/LIST or 
TITLE.
To finalize a disc, refer to “Disc Settings” on 
page 16.

3 seconds from the end of the program.

less than 10 seconds, the next title is 
overwritten. But if the next title is
