Finalizing Dvd-Rw/Dvd-R/+Rw Disc (Finalize Disc) - Hitachi DZ-GX5000A Instruction Manual

FINALIZING DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW DISC (FINALIZE DISC)

Before You Begin
If you want to play back a DVD-RW/DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder,
using a device conforming to 8 cm DVD disc – such as a DVD recorder/player, etc. – you must
finalize the disc on this DVD video camera/recorder.
If you wish to display the DVD video menu when playing back a +RW on a DVD player or DVD
recorder, finalize it using the Disc Navigation menu.
No further recording can be done on a finalized DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW. You can,
however, unfinalize the DVD-RW (VF-mode)/+RW so that other scenes can be recorded on it.
Additional recording is possible on a finalized DVD-RW (VR-mode): unfinalizing is not necessary.

• Be sure to use the AC adapter/charger to power the DVD video camera/
recorder when finalizing a DVD-RW/DVD-R disc. Finalization cannot be
executed using a battery. If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off
during finalization and the finalization is interrupted, incorrect
finalization will result, and at worst, the disc may be damaged.
