Before you begin
You must finalise a BD-R/DVD-RW
(VF mode)/DVD-R/+RW recorded/
dubbed on this camcorder before
playing it back using a BD/DVD
recorder/player compatible with 8 cm
discs.
To display the DVD video menu when
playing back a +RW disc on another
DVD recorder/player, finalise it using
the disc navigation menu first.
Note that no further recording/
dubbing is possible for a finalised BD-
R/DVD-R.
Likewise, no further recording/
dubbing is possible for a finalised
DVD-RW (VF mode)/+RW, though,
you can unfinalise it to enable further
recording/dubbing.
There may be a case for a DVD-RW
(VR mode) that finalisation is needed,
however, further recording/dubbing is
possible without unfinalising it.
• A recorded +RW is automatically
finalised when it is removed from
the camcorder even if you do not
use the disc navigation function
to finalise it (auto-finalise). An
auto-finalised +RW can be
played back on a DVD recorder/
player, etc., but no DVD video
menu will appear. To display the
DVD video menu on a DVD
recorder/player, etc., finalise the
+RW using the disc navigation
function before playing it back on
a DVD recorder/player, etc.
• A +RW with a shorter recording
time may not be playable on a
DVD recorder/player, etc. if it has
been auto-finalised. In this case,
use the disc navigation function
to finalise the +RW.
