DISC FINALIZATION

When do discs need to be finalized?
DVD+R discs recorded with your DVDR-X5 will play fine on your unit,
or on your computer DVD-ROM with or without disc finalization.
However, if you want to view your DVD on a standalone DVD player
then you will have to finalize the disc to make the disc compatible.
Record your discs as per the manual (Pg.24) and when you wish to
finalize, follow the steps below.
Press the TITLE key on the remote control.
With the first thumbnail selected, hit the UP key on your
remote.
This will bring you to the Disc Information Screen
3Using your remote, choose Finalize Disc with the
arrow keys and hit the SELECT button
Notice the Yellow Arrow on the screen. Keying
RIGHT on your remote will bring the disc finalization
screen.
4You will come across the Finalize Disc dialogue box
which reminds you that no new content can be recorded
on the disc once finalized.
Choose YES to continue the finalization process.
5Wait for the Finalization process to complete. Do not
power off the unit or remove the disc until the process
is complete.
Once the Finalization process is complete, you will be able to play your DVD disc on almost any DVD player.
Some points to remember are:
a. You can not make any new recordings on a finalized disc.
b. The Play Disc/Rename Disc/Finalize Disc/Record New Title menu options will only appear on
un-finalized discs.
c. It is not necessary to finalize the disc if you will be using the disc with the DVDR-X5 or your
computer DVD-ROM.
d. You can not finalize DVD+RW discs.
