Preparing
your
Disc
for
Playing
on
a
DVDPlayer
j@
In order to play the disc you recorded on a DVD player, a computer's DVD drive or other
digital device, you need to finalize it first. Refer also to the instruction manual
of
the DVD
player/recorder or the computer's DVD drive.
o When finalizing a disc, always power the camcorder directly from a power
outlet. The finalization process cannot be started if the camcorder is powered
only with the battery pack.
o
00
not disconnect the power adapter while the disc finalization
is
in
progress.
Doing so can interrupt the process and result
in
lost data.
o Depending on the type
of
disc and the disc specification, after finalizing the disc
you may not be able to initialize the disc, edit your recordings
or
add new
recordings to the disc.
o Do not finalize with the camcorder discs that were not recorded using this
camcorder.
o A finalized DVD-RW in VIDEO mode can be unfinalized to allow recording
additional scenes and other limited editing options
(OJ 101).
o Once finalized, you cannot add recordings to a DVD-R disc.
o The time reqUired to complete the disc finalization will vary depending on the
scene recording conditions and the amount
of
free space remaining on the disc.

Before you finalize your disc, you can give it a title. The disc title will not be displayed on
the camcorder but will be displayed on the index screen when playing the finalized disc in
most DVD players or a computer's DVD drive (depending on the DVD playing software).
