Step 6
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD players, finalizing
may be necessary. First, finish all editing and record-
ing operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible compo-
nent, a finalized disc should be used for playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalized.
When using a DVD±R disc
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.

Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed
menu and then immediately start playback.
A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub sec-
tions called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two points
where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be
created automatically when you finalize recording on
DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.
You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and
edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters) varies
according to the recording mode.
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-
dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and
EP (extended mode).
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit func-
tions, possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,
lock, etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without changing the
original recording.
