FINALISING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW (FINALIZE DVD)
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded/dubbed on this DVD video camera/
recorder, using a device conforming to 8 cm DVD disc – such as a DVD recorder/player, etc. – you 
must finalise the disc on this DVD video camera/recorder.
If you wish to display the DVD video menu when playing back a +RW on a DVD player or DVD 
recorder, finalise it using the Disc Navigation menu.
No further recording/dubbing can be done on a finalised DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW. You can, 
however, unfinalise the DVD-RW (VF-mode)/+RW so that other scenes can be recorded/dubbed on it.
Additional recording/dubbing is possible on a finalised DVD-RW (VR-mode): Unfinalising is not necessary.

choose “Finalize DVD” on the “DVD Setting” 
menu screen, and then press the  button.
The disc will be finalised.

press the  button.
The message showing 
that the disc is being 
finalised will appear, 
and the disc will then be 
finalised.

When finalisation is complete, the Disc 
Navigation screen of all programmes will 
appear.
' will appear on the Disc Navigation screen 
for a finalised disc.
Note
:
• Do not use any other device to finalise a disc 
recorded/dubbed on this DVD video camera/recorder.
• If the disc in the DVD video camera/recorder has 
already been finalised, you cannot choose “Finalize 
DVD”.
• The time required to finalise disc that appears on the 
“Finalize DVD” screen is only for reference.
• The shorter the recording time on disc, the longer it 
will take to finalise it.
• The second and later finalisation will be faster with a 
disc which has previously been finalised.
Using FINALIZE button to finalise 
a disc
Press the FINALIZE button during recording 
pause: The screen shown in step 4 above will 
appear. Choose “YES”, and then press the 
button: Finalising will start.
Before You Begin
• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder when finalising a DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW. Finalisation cannot be 
executed using a battery. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off 
during finalisation and the finalisation is interrupted, incorrect 
finalisation will result, and at worst, the disc may be damaged.
