DVD+Rs:
– when you eject the disc by pressing Z OPEN/
CLOSE immediately after you stop recording by
pressing x STOP.
– when all the timer recordings are finished.
– if the disc becomes full during recording.
To turn on this function, set "Auto Finalize" to

disc.
• A disc once finalized cannot be recorded or edited.
• DVD-Rs (Vidoe mode)/DVD+Rs cannot be
unfinalized.
• For discs where erasing titles/chapters does not free up
disc space (page 59), the Auto Finalize function
activates if the total amount of recording before erasing
exceeds 30 % of the disc capacity.
• The Auto Finalize function does not work for One-
touch Timer Recording (page 50) or Synchro-
