type, recording time, or the number of titles recorded
on the disc.
• Depending on the condition of the disc, recording, or
the DVD equipment, discs may not play even if the
discs are finalised.
• The recorder may not be able to finalise the disc if it
was recorded on another recorder.
• If the recording time is short, the disc may not be
playable on some DVD players.
