Note that the recovered information is not (yet) stored on disc as such, and the disc is
not finalised.You can choose to continue recording but considering the disc may not be
fully reliable anymore it may be wiser to finalize straight away.To rewrite the Index
Picture Screen in its restored status just perform a simple editing action like changing an
index picture or a title name.
Note:This function has no use with DVD+RW discs.

‰ The display shows 'FINALIZE'.The recovery procedure, technically referred to
as 'forced finalisation' now starts.This will take about three minutes.

showing any recovered recordings.
