Finalizing a disc (Finalize)
Finalizing is necessary when you play discs recorded with this 
recorder on other DVD equipment.
Before finalizing, check the differences between the disc types 
on the table below. 
When you finalize a DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+RW, or 
DVD-R, a DVD menu will be automatically created, which can 
be displayed on other DVD equipment. 
When a finalized disc is in the recorder, the FINALIZED 
indicator lights up on the front panel.
