Making the Disc Compatible with Other DVD Players (DVD+RW Only)
The Make Compatible option in the Disc Edit menu will make a DVD+RW disc created with the
recorder compatible with other DVD players. (If the option is not available, the disc is already
compatible with other DVD players.)
Note: This feature will not necessarily make the disc compatible with your DVD player. It works
with many, but not all, DVD players.
To make the disc compatible with other DVD players, select the Make Compatible option in the
Disc Edit menu. The recorder will then begin the process, which may take a minute.
Finalizing the Disc (DVD+R Only)
A DVD+R disc must be finalized before it can be read by other DVD players. You can finalize a
disc with the Finalize Disc option in the Disc Edit menu.
Note: Once you have finalized a disc, no further recordings or changes can be made to it. Be
sure any recordings or changes are complete before you finalize.
To finalize the disc:
1. In the Disc Edit menu, use and to select Finalize Disc, and press ENTER.
2. In the confirmation dialog that appears, select Yes and press ENTER to finalize the disc. The
recorder will begin the process of finalizing the disc, which can take up to an hour, depending
on the amount of video on the disc.
