recorded in VR mode is inserted.

protected disc is inserted.
To cancel the disc protect:
• Select “Disc Protect ON A OFF” at step
3, then select “Yes”.
• If you insert a disc protected with this unit, “Disc Protect
ON A OFF” will appear instead of “OFF A ON”.
Finalising Discs
You will need to finalise discs to play them back in other units.
Finalising may take from several minutes up to an hour.
A shorter recording period on the disc will require a longer
time period for finalisation. Do not unplug the mains cable
during finalisation.
Insert a recordable disc before finalising.
1 In stop mode, press [SETUP].
2 Select “DVD Menu” using [K \ L], then press
[ENTER\OK].
3 Select “Finalise” using [K \ L], then press
[ENTER\OK].
4 Select “Yes” using [K \ L], then press
[ENTER\OK].
Finalising will start.
To cancel finalising (DVD-RW disc only):
At step
4, press [STOP C]. Select “Yes” using [K \ L],
then press [ENTER\OK]. Finalising is cancelled and the
unit switches to stop mode.
If “ ” appears when [STOP C] is pressed, you cannot
cancel finalising because the finalising has already
reached at a critical point in its process.
If “No” is selected and [ENTER\OK] or [RETURN\BACK]
is pressed, finalising is continued.
You cannot cancel finalising a DVD-R disc once it has
started.
5 Finalising is complete.
Note
• Finalising a disc in video mode automatically creates a Title
menu.
• After you finalise DVD-RW/-R disc, you can edit or record
only on a video mode disc.
• To release the finalisation of the disc, select “Undo Finalise”
at step
3.
• If you insert a DVD-RW disc finalised with this unit,
“Undo Finalise” will appear instead of “Finalise”.
• DO NOT power off during finalising. This may result in a
malfunction.
You can finalise discs automatically when the disc space runs
out if you set this in “Setup” menu.
