Function
Use the Finalize feature!
DVD-R, etc. recorded on this unit cannot be played on other players 
immediately after recording. Using the Finalize feature allows you to play 
these discs on other players. (However, once the disc is finalized you will 
no longer be able to record to the disc.)
If using an unformatted disc, you must format it before the 
first recording. After inserting the disc, the formatting 
message appears automatically. Formatting prepares the 
media, such as a recordable DVD-RAM, for recording. All 
data is irreversibly erased.
We recommend using a DVD RAM to utilise the greatest possible 
functional scope of this unit.
