The disc must be fi nalized after recording ( 54).
All DVD-R, etc. discs recorded on this unit must be fi nalized before they can be played on other DVD players. Once
fi nalized, DVD-R, etc. become “read-only” and can no longer be used for recording. DVD-RW can be reused after
fi nalizing.
Whether DL discs recorded on this unit can be played on other DVD players will depend entirely on the capabilities of
that player. 100% compatibility is not guaranteed.
