• You can record on a disc repeatedly, by deleting items that
you have recorded previously.
• The disc recorded in this mode can be played back with
other DVD-RW-compatible players.
Video mode

FINALISING A DISC

DVD-RW discs, although not generally compatible with other DVD players, can be un-finalised after the finalisation process has taken place.
